[Ord. No. 2015-20 § 10B-114]
(a)
Whenever the Planning Board has adopted any portion of the Master
Plan, the Princeton Council or any other public agency having jurisdiction
over the subject matter, before taking action necessitating the expenditure
of any public funds incidental to the location, character or extent
of a capital project, shall refer the action involving such specific
project to the Planning Board for review and recommendation in conjunction
with the Master Plan and shall not act thereon without such recommendation
or until 45 days have elapsed after such reference without receiving
such recommendation. This requirement shall apply to action by a housing,
parking, highway, special district or other authority, redevelopment
agency, school board or other similar public agency, state, county
or municipal. In addition, this requirement shall apply to any public
entity taking any action to permit the location, erection, use or
maintenance of an outdoor advertising sign required to be permitted
pursuant to P.L.1991, C.413 (N.J.S.A. 27:5-5 et seq.).
(b)
The Planning Board shall review and issue findings concerning
any long-range facilities plan submitted to the board pursuant to
the Educational Facilities Construction and Financing Act, P.L.2000,
C.72 (N.J.S.A. 18A:7G-1 et al.), for the purpose of review of the
extent to which the long-range facilities plan is informed by, and
consistent with, at least the land use plan element and the housing
element contained within the Master Plan and such other elements of
the Master Plan as the Planning Board deems necessary to determine
whether prospective sites for school facilities contained in the long-range
facilities plan promote more effective and efficient coordination
of school construction with the development efforts of the municipality.
The Planning Board shall devote at least one full meeting of the board
to presentation and review of the long-range facilities plan prior
to adoption of a resolution setting forth the board's findings.
