Any owner of land within or partly within the Township of Greenwich shall, prior to the development of any land, submit site plans of the proposed development in the manner provided in this chapter, for review and approval by resolution of the Planning Board as a condition for the issuance of a permit for any development, except that subdivision or individual lot applications for detached one- or two-dwelling-unit buildings shall be exempt from such site plan review and approval.
Applications for uses for which site plan approval is required shall be submitted in accordance with the provisions hereof and shall be accompanied by the following:
A. 
Five copies of the application and plan or plans, prepared by a professional engineer or land surveyor registered in New Jersey, which shall describe the integrated or overall development of the tract of land for which an application is made, drawn to a scale of not less than one inch equals 100 feet, and which shall show:
(1) 
The location, boundaries, dimensions and ownership of the land to be included, the names of the owners of adjoining properties and the zoning district or districts in which the land is located.
(2) 
The location, use, dimensions and arrangement of all existing and proposed buildings and structures, signs, streets, sidewalks and open spaces, including the height of all buildings, the location and capacity of all areas to be used for off-street parking, loading and unloading, the parking lot layout, the location and dimensions of all accessways, entrances and exits, the traffic flow patterns and other provisions for accommodating traffic and the location of all areas devoted to planting, landscaping or similar purposes.
(3) 
Provisions made for pedestrian circulation.
(4) 
The total gross floor area of all buildings and, where applicable, the floor area exclusive of basement areas not used for the sale or display of merchandise.
(5) 
The physical features of the tract, including existing topography and proposed grading contours at not less than two-foot intervals or in sufficient detail to enable the Township Engineer to determine the adequacy of the proposed drainage systems.
(6) 
The provisions made for and the location of all sewage and industrial waste disposal, water supply, stormwater drainage, exterior lighting and similar facilities.
(7) 
A description, rendering, sketch or picture of new buildings or structures, including signs.
B. 
Information sufficient to demonstrate that satisfactory arrangements will be made to accommodate probable increases in traffic and to facilitate traffic movement on the streets in the vicinity of the proposed use. The Planning Board may require a report from a traffic engineer.
C. 
A plan or description of the buffer or screening devices and areas to be installed and the provisions to be made for the maintenance thereof.
D. 
Sufficient data, in all instances, to enable the Planning Board to judge the effectiveness of the design and character of the proposed development, to consider properly such things as the relationship of the proposed development or use to surrounding areas, anticipated traffic, public health, safety and the general welfare and to determine that the proposed plan and use complies with the requirements of the district and any other pertinent requirements of the Township.
E. 
The Planning Board may waive or modify any of the requirements or details specified to be shown on the site plan in any given application if it determines that certain requirements or specifications are not necessary to be shown in order to ensure that said site plan conforms to the standards of good planning and will have no deleterious effect on the neighboring properties, and it determines that sufficient provision is made to assure adequate protection of the health, welfare and safety of the people of the Township.
In addition to zoning requirements and the standards of design in §§ 131-28 to 131-35 hereof, the following standards also shall be used by the Planning Board as guidelines in reviewing site plans:
A. 
The existing landscape shall be preserved in its natural state insofar as possible, and tree and soil removal shall be kept to a minimum. Grade changes shall be in keeping with the general appearance of neighboring developed areas. New landscaping and grass and ground cover areas shall take into account the environmental protection of the site.
B. 
Proposed structures should be related harmoniously to the terrain and to existing buildings in the vicinity that have a visual relationship to the proposed development. Provision shall be made for the appropriate screening from adjacent properties of all parking, service and loading areas, playgrounds (where required) and equipment and storage areas.
C. 
Adequate provision shall be made for vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives and parking, with special attention to be given to the location and number of access points to the public streets, width of interior drives, general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement of parking areas that are safe and convenient and that do not detract from the design of proposed structures and the neighboring properties. The design standards included in Section 10, Design Standards, of the Gloucester County Site Plan Resolution shall also be used as a guide in reviewing site plans.
D. 
Provision shall be made for the proper location and adequate intensity and direction of outdoor lighting so that it will reflect the lighting away from adjoining premises and public rights-of-way. The size, location, design, color, texture, lighting and materials of all signs shall not detract from the design of the proposed buildings and the surrounding properties and streets nor create confusion with traffic or any other signs.
E. 
The exterior walls of any building which faces on any street shall not be constructed of exposed cinder blocks.
A. 
All applications for subdivision and site plan review and accompanying plans shall be filed with the Secretary of the Planning Board.
B. 
Upon a finding by the Planning Board that the application and plans conform with the requirements of this chapter, the Planning Board shall docket the plan for hearing and cause copies of the application and plans to be submitted to the following for study and comment:

If the area of the proposed subdivision or development includes any area which is subject to the Coastal Wetlands Act (N.J.S.A. 13:9A-1 et seq.) or the Flood Control Act (N.J.S.A. 58:16A-1 et seq.) or is located in whole or in part in a Conservation District, three copies of the plan at a scale of one inch equals 200 feet shall be submitted to the Greenwich Township Environmental Commission for review and recommendation.
Following preliminary review of applications and plans for completeness and conformity to the requirements of this chapter, the applicant shall give public notice of the hearing on the application in accordance with the provisions of the Chapter 75, Land Use Procedures. After the hearing, the Planning Board shall take action thereon as provided in § 610-6H. The Board's action shall be voted or stamped on all copies of the subdivision plan, and a copy of the resolution setting forth the determination of the Board shall be attached thereto. Such plans shall be designated final preliminary plans. The Secretary of the Planning Board shall distribute copies of the plans and of the resolution to the Township Clerk, the Township Engineer, the Construction Official, the Zoning Officer and the Tax Assessor.
[Added 12-1-1980 by Ord. No. 13-1980]
A. 
The Planning Board may waive notice and public hearing for an application for development for site plans, if the Planning Board or a Site Plan Subcommittee of the Board appointed by the Chairman finds that the application for development conforms to the definition of "minor site plan." Minor site plan approval shall be deemed to be final approval of the site plan by the Planning Board, provided that the Board or its Subcommittee may condition such approval on terms ensuring the provision of improvements, pursuant to Article VIII of this chapter.
B. 
Minor site plan approval shall be granted or denied within 45 days of the date of submission of a complete application to the Secretary of the Planning Board or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. Failure of the Planning Board to act within the period prescribed shall constitute minor site plan approval.
C. 
Whenever review or approval of the application by the County Planning Board is required under N.J.S.A. 40:27-6.6, the Planning Board shall condition any approval that it grants upon timely receipt of a favorable report on the application by the County Planning Board or upon approval by the County Planning Board by its failure to report thereon within the required time period.
D. 
The zoning requirements and general terms and conditions, whether conditional or otherwise, upon which minor site plan approval is granted shall not be changed for a period of two years after the date of minor site plan approval.
