Subdivision review is provided for in the Municipal
Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-37). Such review makes it possible for
the Planning Board to ensure development which is consistent with
the Zoning Ordinance and Master Plan. It permits the Board to review
developmental layout, street design, water drainage and sewerage adequacy,
flood hazards and protection/conservation measure. It also makes possible
provisions for off-tract improvements and, in the case of planned
developments, promotes flexibility. In short, subdivision review establishes
rules and standards for division of laws within Ventnor City in order
to promote health, safety, convenience and general welfare.
Any applicant wishing to divide or resubdivide land within the City of Ventnor City shall apply for and obtain the approval of the Planning Board in accordance with the procedures outlined in §§
102-132 to
102-136.
An applicant for subdivision of land shall submit to the Secretary of the Planning Board 15 copies of an application for subdivision, the required application fee (see Article
XXIV, §
102-160) and 15 copies of a sketch plat containing the information outlined in §
102-135D(1)(a),
(b),
(c),
(d),
(e),
(f),
(i) and
(j) of this article 21 days prior to a regular meeting of the Planning Board.
The Subdivision Committee shall report its recommendations
and comments on each application to the Planning Board at its next
regular meeting. The Board shall have the right to approve or change
the classification by majority vote.
