Community impact statement.
(1)
General provision. All applications for preliminary
major subdivision or site plan approval shall be accompanied by a
community impact assessment analyzing the proposed development and
its expected impact upon the existing facilities and services. The
information furnished within the community impact assessment shall
serve to influence the design of the proposed development so that
the provision of necessary municipal facilities can be coordinated
with the construction of the proposed development; and/or to alert
the appropriate public agencies to anticipated needs that may have
to be satisfied in the near future.
(a)
Population impact: an analysis of the number
of people expected to be added to the municipal population as a result
of the proposed development according to the following age cohorts:
preschool-aged children, school-aged children, adults of childbearing
age, middle-aged adults and persons of retirement age.
(b)
School impact: an analysis of the anticipated
number of pupils who will be added to the student population in the
municipality and anticipated operating and capital improvement costs.
(2)
Facilities impact: applicant's evaluation as to the
adequacy of the existing facilities to serve the proposed development,
including the adequacy of existing public water facilities, public
sewerage facilities, recreational facilities and library facilities.
(3)
Service impact: applicant's evaluation as to the adequacy
of the existing public services to serve the proposed development
and the impact of the development upon the services, including police
protection, fire protection, solid waste disposal and street maintenance
services.
(4)
Utility impacts: letters directed to the Chairman
of the Board and signed by a responsible official of the lighting
agency, water company and of any other utility company or governmental
authority or district having jurisdiction in the area and which will
provide utility service to the proposed development approving the
design of each proposed utility installation and stating who will
construct the facility so that service will be available prior to
occupancy.
(5)
Traffic impact: an analysis of the impact of the project
on the road network, including the capacity of the existing and proposed
roadways in relation to the anticipated traffic volumes from the proposed
development as well as any increases in traffic volumes expected from
other developments within the area and any existing and anticipated
problem spots in the overall road network, including unsafe intersections,
turns or grades.
(6)
Financial impact: an analysis of the revenues expected
to be generated from the development compared to the anticipated costs
which the proposed development is expected to generate. Revenues and
costs shall be shown for the municipality, the municipal school system
and the county.
F.
Action by the approving agency.
(1)
Within 45 days following the date of submission of
the application, the Zoning Enforcement Officer either shall notify
the applicant in writing that the application has been determined
to be incomplete or shall certify that the submission constitutes
a complete application. If the application is determined to be incomplete,
the reasons for such determination shall be specified to the applicant
and an appropriately revised plan may thereafter be submitted to the
Zoning Enforcement Officer as in the first instance. If the Secretary
of the Planning Board or the Secretary of the Zoning Board of Adjustment,[8] as the case may be, neither certifies to the applicant
that the application is complete nor notifies the applicant in writing
that the application has been determined to be incomplete, then the
application shall be considered certified complete and the period
for action by the Board shall commence.
(2)
The Planning Board shall take action on a preliminary
major site plan application involving 10 acres of land or less and
10 dwelling units or fewer and/or a preliminary major subdivision
application involving 10 lots or less within 45 days after the application
has been certified complete by the Secretary of the Planning Board
or the Secretary of the Zoning Board of Adjustment,[9] as the case may be, or within such further time as may
be consented to by the applicant. Failure of the Board to act within
the prescribed time period shall constitute approval of the application,
provided that any preliminary application, including a request for
variance relief, shall be acted upon within 120 days after the application
has been certified complete or within such further time as may be
consented to by the applicant.
(3)
The Planning Board shall take action on a preliminary
major site plan application involving more than 10 acres of land or
more than 10 dwellings and/or a preliminary major subdivision application
involving more than 10 lots within 95 days after the application has
been certified complete by the Zoning Enforcement Officer or within
such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. Failure
of the Board to act within the prescribed time period shall constitute
approval of the application.
(4)
If a preliminary site plan and/or preliminary subdivision
application is being considered by the Zoning Board of Adjustment[10] simultaneously with an application for a use variance,
the Zoning Board of Adjustment shall act on all aspects of the application
within 120 days after the application has been certified complete
by the Secretary of the Zoning Board of Adjustment or within such
further time as may be consented to by the applicant. Failure of the
Board to act within the prescribed time period shall constitute approval
of the application.
(5)
Any designated subdivision committee or site plan
committee, as the case may be, may review the submission to ascertain
its conformity with the requirements of this chapter. The subdivision
committee or site plan committee, as the case may be, shall offer
its recommendations to the Board at a regularly scheduled meeting
of the Board within 30 days after the application has been certified
complete.
(6)
Where the remaining portion of the original tract
is sufficient to be subdivided or further developed, the applicant
may be required to submit a sketch of the entire remaining portion
of the tract to indicate that the subdivision or development applied
for, together with such subsequent subdivision(s) or development(s)
as may be submitted in the future, will not create, impose or aggravate
or lead to any such adverse effect. Any requirements under this subsection
shall be limited to those that will prevent the proposed development
from causing any reasonably avoidable damage to any adjacent property
or any environmental resource.
(7)
All hearings held on applications for preliminary
major subdivision approval and, in certain cases, preliminary major
site plan approval shall require public notice of the hearing.
(8)
If the Board acts favorably on the preliminary plat
or plan, the Chairman and Secretary of the Board or, where either
or both may be absent, the Acting Chairman or Secretary shall affix
their signatures to at least 10 copies of the plat or plan with the
notification that it has been approved.
(9)
Should minor revisions or additions to the plan be
deemed necessary, the Board may grant preliminary approval subject
to specified conditions and receipt of revised plans within 30 days
from the date of said approval. Should major revisions be deemed necessary,
the Board shall require that an amended plan be submitted and acted
upon as in the case of the original application for preliminary approval.
(10)
If the Board, after consideration and discussion
of the preliminary plat or plan, determines that it is unacceptable,
a notation shall be made by the Chairman of the Board to that effect
on the plat or plan and a resolution adopted setting forth the reasons
for such rejection. One copy of the plat or plan and said resolution
shall be returned to the applicant within 10 days of such determination.
G.
Effect of preliminary approval. Preliminary approval
shall confer upon the applicant the following rights for a period
of three years from the date of such approval:
(1)
That the general terms and conditions on which preliminary
approval was granted shall not be changed, including but not limited
to use requirements; layout and design standards for streets, curbs
and sidewalks; lot size; yard dimensions; and off-tract improvements.
(2)
That the applicant may submit for final approval,
on or before the expiration date of preliminary approval, the whole
or a section or sections of the preliminary plat or plan.
(3)
That the applicant may apply for and the Board may
grant extensions on such preliminary approval for additional periods
of at least one year, but not to exceed a total extension of two years,
provided that if the design standards have been revised by ordinance,
such revised standards may govern after the expiration of the three-year
period following the date of preliminary approval.
(4)
That the applicant may apply for and the Board may grant permission to install any or all of the site improvements shown on the approved preliminary subdivision or site plan in accordance with all applicable design standards and subject to such of the requirements of Article XXIII and such other terms or conditions as the Board may deem necessary to protect the public interest.
