In the case of a planned unit development, planned unit residential development or residential cluster, the Board may permit minimal deviations from the conditions of preliminary approval necessitated by change of conditions beyond the control of the developer since the date of preliminary approval without the developer being required to submit another application for development for preliminary approval.
B. 
Final approval shall be granted or denied within 45 days after submission of a complete application or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. Failure of the Board to act within the period prescribed shall constitute final approval and a certificate of the Administrative Officer as to the failure of the Board to act shall be issued on request of the applicant. Said certificate shall be sufficient in lieu of the written endorsement or other evidence of approval, herein required, and, in the case of subdivision plans, shall be so accepted by the County Recording Officer for purposes of filing.

The zoning requirements applicable to the preliminary approval first granted and all other rights conferred upon the developer, whether conditionally or otherwise, shall not be changed for a period of two years after the date on which the resolution of final approval was adopted; provided that in the case of major subdivision the rights conferred by this section shall expire if the plat has not been duly recorded within the required time period. If the developer has followed the standards prescribed for final approval and has duly recorded the plat with the County Recording Officer, the Board may extend such period of protection for extensions of one year but not to exceed three extensions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the granting of final approval terminates the time period of preliminary approval pursuant to this article.
B. 
In the case of a subdivision or site plan for a planned development of 50 acres or more, conventional subdivision for 150 acres or more, or site plan for the development of a nonresidential floor area of 200,000 square feet or more, the Board may grant the rights referred to in paragraph A of this section for such period of time, longer than two years, as shall be determined by the Board to be reasonable, taking into consideration.
(1) 
The number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under final approval.
(2) 
Economic conditions.

The number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under final approval;
(b) 
The number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area remaining to be developed;
(c) 
Economic conditions; and
(d) 
The comprehensiveness of the development.
C. 
Whenever the Board grants any extension of final approval and final approval has expired before the date on which the extension is granted, the extension shall begin on what would otherwise be the expiration date. The developer may apply for the extension either before or after what would otherwise be the extension date.
D. 
The Board shall grant an extension of final approval for a period determined by the Board but not exceeding one year from what would otherwise be the expiration date, if the developer proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board that the developer was barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from proceeding with the development because of delays in obtaining legally required approvals from other governmental entities and that the developer applied promptly for and diligently pursued these approvals. A developer shall apply for an extension before (a) what would otherwise be the expiration date of final approval, or (b) the 91st day after the developer receives the last legally required approval from other governmental entities, whichever occurs later. An extension granted pursuant to this section shall not preclude the Board from granting an extension pursuant to paragraph A or B above.
Before recording final subdivision plats or as a condition of final site plan approval, the Board shall require and shall accept, for the purpose of assuring the installation and maintenance of on-tract public improvements and landscaping, performance maintenance and other guarantees in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53 of the Municipal Land Use Law and Article VIII of this chapter.
A. 
Final approval of a major subdivision shall expire 95 days from the date of signing of the plat unless within such period the plat shall have been duly filed by the developer with the County Recording Officer. The Board may for good cause shown extend the period for recording for an additional period not to exceed 190 days from the date of signing of the plat. The Board may extend the 95 day or 190 day period if the developer proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board (1) that the developer was barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from filing because of delays in obtaining legally required approvals from other governmental or quasi-governmental entities and (2) that the developer applied promptly for and diligently pursued required approvals. The length of the extension shall be equal to the period of delay caused by the wait for the required approvals, as determined by the Board. The developer may apply for an extension either before or after the original expiration date.
B. 
No subdivision plat shall be accepted for filing by the County Recording Officer until it has been approved by the Board as indicated on the instrument by the signature of the Chairperson and Secretary of the Board and when applicable, the Township Engineer and Township Clerk. The signatures of the Chairperson and Secretary of the Board shall not be affixed until the developer has posted the guarantees required by this chapter. If the county records any plat without such approval, such recording shall be deemed null and void, and upon request of the municipality, the plat shall be expunged from the official records.
C. 
It shall be the duty of the County Recording Officer to notify the Board in writing within seven days of the filing of any plat, identifying such instrument by its title, date of filing, and official number.
