Before adopting, amending or revising any development
regulation, the governing body shall refer the same to the Planning
Board for a report and recommendation and shall review the Planning
Board's report and recommendation when considering the adoption thereof.
The governing body may disapprove or change any such recommendation
only by a majority vote of its full authorized membership, and in
such event it shall record in its minutes the reasons for not following
the same. Failure of the Planning Board to transmit such report within
35 days after the governing body has made such referral shall relieve
the governing body of the other requirements of this section.
The governing body shall hold a hearing before
adopting, amending or revising any development regulation or before
adopting any capital improvement program or amendment or revision
thereof that has been recommended to it by the Planning Board.
Notice of such hearing shall be given by the
governing body by personal service or certified mail at least 10 days
prior to the date of the hearing to the County Planning Board and,
in cases involving property situated within 200 feet of an adjoining
municipality, to the Clerk of such municipality.
Such notice shall state the date, time and place
of the hearing and the nature of the matters to be considered and
shall include a copy of the proposed development regulation, capital
improvement program, amendment or revision.
Notice of the adoption of any official map or
capital improvement program or amendment or revision thereof shall
be given by the governing body to the County Planning Board by personal
service or certified mail within 30 days after the date of such adoption,
and said notice shall include a copy of such adopted official map,
capital improvement program, amendment or revision.
No zoning, subdivision or site plan ordinance
or any amendment or revision thereof shall take effect until a copy
thereof is filed with the County Planning Board; and the official
map shall not take effect until filed with the County Clerk.
Copies of all development regulations and any
amendments or revisions thereof shall be filed and maintained in the
office of the Municipal Clerk.
The requirements of this Part 4 as to development
regulations shall be in addition to those imposed by the law generally
for the passage of ordinances.
