to the issuance of building permits to assure compliance with regulations
contained in such zoning ordinance. .

or other official before whom oaths may be taken, stating whether or not
any member of the local commission or governing body has any interest in
such property, either individually, by ownership of stock in a corporation
owning such land, or partnership, or whether a member of the immediate
household of any member of the commission or governing body has any
such interest,
