[Amended 7-18-1990 by Ord. No. 23-1990]
A. The approval of a preliminary site plan shall confer
upon the applicant the following rights for a three-year period from
the date of a preliminary approval:
(1) That the general terms and conditions on which preliminary
approval have been granted shall not be changed, including but not
limited to, use requirements; layout and design standards for streets,
curbs, and sidewalks; lot sizes, dimensions, yards, and improvements,
whether on site or off site; except that nothing herein shall prevent
the Township from modifying by ordinance such general terms and conditions
of preliminary approval as relate to public health and safety.
(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 site plan.
(3) The applicant may apply for and the Planning Board
may grant extensions on such preliminary approval for additional periods
of time of at least one year and not to exceed two years, provided
that if the design standards have been revised by ordinance, such
revised standards may govern at the discretion of the Planning Board.
B. In the case of a site plan of 50 acres or larger,
the Planning Board may grant these rights for a period of time longer
than three years as shall be reasonable taking into consideration
the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible
under the preliminary approval; economic conditions; and the comprehensiveness
of the development. The applicant may petition and the Planning Board
may grant an extension of preliminary approval for such additional
time period as shall be determined by the Planning Board to be reasonable
taking into consideration the number of dwelling units and nonresidential
floor area permissible under the preliminary approval; the potential
number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area of the section
or sections awaiting final approval; economic conditions; and the
comprehensiveness of the development, provided that if the design
standards have been revised, such standards may govern at the discretion
of the Planning Board.
C. Request for Title 39 enforcement.
