dwelling unit or a two-family dwelling unit shall not require site
plan approval.

use to another permitted category of nonresidential use may not require
site plan approval if:

stage are doing so at the risk of added expense if changes in design
are required.
A.
At the request of a developer, the Planning and Zoning
Board of Adjustment shall hear one informal presentation of a conceptual
plan for a development for which the developer intends to prepare
and submit an application for development. The information to be included
on a sketch to scale for a conceptual plan shall be sufficient to
enable the Board of Adjustment and the applicant to comment upon design
concepts, such as building location, ingress and egress, parking,

and place of the meeting. No request for informal review shall take
preference on the agenda over, or prior to, a formally submitted application
for development for which time limits are set pursuant to N.J.S.A.
40:55D-1 et seq., and the Planning and Zoning Board of Adjustment
may, prior to said review, establish a time limit for said informal
review.
