Upon written request by the applicant specifically stating the omitted and/or modified information and the reasons for such request, the Board may waive part or all of any of the submission requirements of this Part II and/or the development and design standards of Part IV.
The applicant shall first submit the request for waivers to the Board Secretary when the application for development is submitted. The Board Secretary shall forward a copy of such request to the Zoning Officer for administrative review, after which the Zoning Officer shall submit a report to the applicant and to the Board regarding such request.
A. 
If the Zoning Officer is of the opinion that the application can be appropriately reviewed without the information covered by the request for waivers, such application shall be forwarded to the Board for a final determination on completeness. If the Board, in making such final determination, grants the request for waivers, the Board shall proceed to review and act on the application. However, if the Board, in making its determination, ultimately denies the request for waivers or requests additional information to review the application, the application shall be deemed incomplete until the required information has been submitted.
B. 
If the Zoning Officer is of the opinion that the information omitted or modified by the request for waivers is required for an appropriate review of the application by the Board, the applicant may either submit the required information and have the application declared complete or request the Board to make a final determination on the need for such information. If the Board, in making such final determination, grants the request for waivers, the time period for decision by the Board shall begin at the time such request was granted by the Board. However, if the Board, in making such determination, denies the request for waivers, the application shall be deemed incomplete until the necessary information covered by the request for waivers has been submitted.
Waivers may be granted by the Board in specific cases, at its discretion, and only if it has been determined that all of the following provisions are complied with:
A. 
The proposed development, use, construction, alteration, change of occupancy or change of use shall not:
(1) 
Create or affect any adverse impacts, either on the tract to be developed or on adjacent or nearby properties.
(2) 
Otherwise affect existing circulation, drainage, relationship of buildings to each other, landscaping, buffering, lighting or other considerations of site plan review.
B. 
All applicable provisions of this chapter shall be complied with, unless it is determined that the literal enforcement of one or more provisions are impracticable or will exact undue hardships because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the property in question in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-51. However, no such provision of Part IV of this chapter shall be waived under this subsection.
The Board may waive the requirement for a public hearing in specific cases, in its discretion, on any application for which a public hearing is not mandated by N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq.
