This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Land Use
and Procedures Ordinance of the Borough of Wallington."
Whenever a term is used in this chapter which is defined in
P.L. 1975, c. 291, such term is intended to have the meaning set forth in
the definition of such term found in said statute, unless a contrary
intention is clearly expressed from the context of this chapter.
Immediately upon adoption of this chapter, the Municipal Clerk
shall file a copy of this chapter with the County Planning Board as
required by law. The Clerk shall also file with said County Planning
Board copies of all other ordinances of the municipality relating
to land use, such as the Subdivision, Zoning and Site Plan Review
Ordinances.
In the event that, during the period of approval heretofore
or hereafter granted to an application for development, the developer
is barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from proceeding with
the development otherwise permitted under such approval by a legal
action instituted by any state agency, political subdivision or other
party to protect the public health and welfare or by a directive or
order issued by any state agency, political subdivision or court of
competent jurisdiction to protect the public health or welfare and
the developer is otherwise ready, willing and able to proceed with
said development, the running of the period of approval under this
chapter or under any ordinance repealed by this chapter, as the case
may be, shall be suspended for the period of time said legal action
is pending or such directive or order is in effect.
