Editor's Note: See N.J.S.A. 40:55D-2 through 55D-7.
Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 291, P.L. 1975, Sections
77B and 81,[1] the substantive provisions of the existing Land Subdivision
Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance and Site Plan Review Ordinance of the
Township of West Deptford and the development regulations set forth
therein shall continue in full force and effect as interim ordinances
and shall be read in pari materia with this chapter.

Editor's Note: Section 77B is in the New Jersey Statutes Annotated
as N.J.S.A. 40:55D-90b. It authorizes the adoption of a reasonable
interim zoning ordinance. Section 81 of c. 291, P.L. 1975, was not
carried forward into the New Jersey Statutes Annotated as an independent
section. However, it is quoted in a note to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1. It
contains certain interim provisions relative to the continued exercise
of municipal authority and relative to the members of existing planning
boards and zoning boards of adjustment.
All applications for development filed prior to the effective date of this chapter may be continued, but any appeals arising out of decisions made on any such applications shall be governed by the provisions of Article IV of this chapter.
Immediately upon adoption of this chapter the Municipal Clerk
shall file a copy of this chapter with the County Planning Board as
required by law. The Clerk shall also file with said County Planning
Board copies of all other ordinances of the municipality relating
to land use, such as the Subdivision, Zoning and Site Plan Review
Ordinances.
