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.
