[Amended 6-13-88 by Ord. No. 399]
Any applicant for subdivision, site plan or conditional use
review and approval within the jurisdiction of the Planning Board
shall obtain all necessary forms from the Planning Board Secretary.
Said officer shall inform the applicant of the steps to be taken in
securing Planning Board action and the Board's regular meeting dates.
The applicant shall be given a checklist of requirements for either
site plan, minor or major subdivision approval.
In exercising its power to grant conditional uses pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-67 and Subsection
A(2) of §
67-11 of this chapter, the Planning Board shall grant or deny a conditional use application within 95 days of submission of a complete application or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. Said application shall be subject to a public hearing after proper notice. The review of the conditional use application shall include any required site plan review within this prescribed period. Failure of the Planning Board to act within the prescribed period shall constitute approval of the application.
Whenever the Planning Board is called upon to exercise its ancillary powers before granting approval for a variance or for the issuance of building permits as set forth in Subsection
A(7) of §
67-11 of this chapter, the Planning Board shall grant or deny approval of the application within 95 days after submission by the developer of a complete application 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 approval.
The Planning Board shall have the power to review and approve
or deny conditional uses or site plans simultaneously with review
for subdivision approval without the developer being required to make
further application to the Planning Board or the Planning Board being
required to hold further hearings. The longest time period for action
by the Planning Board, whether it be for subdivision, conditional
use or site plan approval, shall apply. Whenever approval of a conditional
use is requested by the developer pursuant to this section, notice
of the hearing on the plat shall include reference to the request
for such conditional use.
The Planning Board when acting upon an application for a preliminary
or minor subdivision approval or preliminary site plan approval shall
have the power to grant such exceptions from the requirements for
approval as may be reasonable and within the general purpose and intent
of the provisions for review and approval of this chapter, if the
literal enforcement of one or more provisions of this chapter is impractical
or will exact undue hardship because of peculiar conditions pertaining
to the land in question, provided that such exceptions and the reasons
therefor shall be recorded in the minutes.
