If the Administrative Officer shall determine that the proposed undertaking is an "exempt development" which conforms in all aspects to the requirements of this chapter and does not require direction for issuance of a Building Permit pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-34 or 36 (Municipal Land Use Law), he shall issue a Development Permit and the applicant may then apply for a Building Permit and/or other permits that may be required.

If the Administrative Officer shall determine that the proposed undertaking is an "exempt development" but does not conform in all aspects to the requirements of this chapter and/or requires direction for issuance of a Building Permit pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-34 or 36, he shall instruct the applicant that Board of Adjustment approval of an application for development for variance and/or direction for issuance of a Building Permit is required before a Development Permit may be issued allowing the applicant to apply for a Building Permit and/or other permits that may be required.

If the Administrative Officer shall determine that the proposed undertaking is not an "exempt development," he shall instruct the applicant that Planning Board or Board of Adjustment approval of an application for development is required. He shall further advise the applicant which Board has jurisdiction over the Application for Development and which of the following approvals are required.

The Planning Board or Board of Adjustment shall hear and act upon any requests for granting of variances, conditional use approval and/or direction for issuance of a Building Permit at the same time that they hear and act upon a minor subdivision, preliminary plat of a major subdivision, or a preliminary plat of a major site plan. Such simultaneous action may be taken in conjunction with a final plat of a major subdivision or site plan if revisions in the plat subsequent to preliminary plat approval shall have created the need for such simultaneous action or if the application is for combined preliminary and final plat approval.

30-6.3 Preliminary discussion.

Any person who desires to obtain approval of a site plan or subdivision may request to be scheduled at a conference meeting of the Planning Board for an informal discussion of the proposed development.

When all submission requirements have been fulfilled and, in the case of site plans, subdivisions and conditional uses, when reports have been received from the Borough Engineer that the plans and attachments submitted are in technical compliance, the Secretary shall issue a Certificate of Completeness and schedule the application for development for public hearing before the Planning Board or Board of Adjustment.

Conditional approvals. After issuance of a Certificate of Completeness, all applications for development shall be acted upon by the Planning Board or Board of Adjustment within the time limits set forth within Article 30-3 of this chapter, or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. If required approvals from other government agencies have not been received prior to Planning Board or Board of Adjustment approval of an application for development, such approval shall be conditional upon the subsequent approval or approvals by the other government agencies unless the applicant shall request that such approval be withheld until the approval or approvals from the other government agencies have been received.
