The Highlands Act establishes the Preservation Area and Planning
Area of the Highlands Region. It describes the varied attributes of
each and sets forth the major land use planning goals that pertain
to the lands located within each. The Act defines the geographic extent
of the Highlands Region to include the aggregated land area making
up its constituent municipalities. (N.J.S.A. 13:20-7a.) It provides
a physical delineation of the Preservation Area by use of a specific
metes and bounds description (N.J.S.A. 13:20-7b), designating all
remaining lands within the Highlands Region as the Planning Area.
A.Â
Highlands Area. The Township Master Plan incorporates the Highlands
Preservation Area and Planning Area, inclusive of the goals applicable
to each, as an integral component of the planning and land use policies
of the municipality. For purposes of this chapter, these areas are
designated as the Township Highlands Area. A map of the Township Highlands
Area appears in Exhibit 1.[1]
