(1)
A preliminary site plan and accompanying engineering
and architectural documents shall be submitted for each of the following:
[Amended 12-7-2017 by Ord. No. 19-15-2017]
(a)
All new nonresidential development proposals;
(b)
All proposals for modifications to the footprint of structures
used in an existing or proposed nonresidential use;
(c)
All proposals for any modification or change to the exterior
conditions, including, but not limited to, changes in impervious coverage,
grade, cut and/or fill, and lighting, at any property on which a nonresidential
use is operated or proposed to be operated;
(d)
For all properties upon which a nonresidential use is conducted,
and for which no approved site plan is on file with the Township,
whenever there is a change in ownership or a change of occupancy for
the nonresidential use; and
(e)
Except as provided in § 132-110A(2) below, any change in the nonresidential use of a property (for example, a change in use from a fabricating business to a warehouse/storage business).
(2)
In the event that there is a change in use in
a nonresidential property, the developer may, in lieu of submitting
a full site plan application, submit an application for site plan
exemption on the appropriate form and accompanied by a copy of the
most recent site plan on file and which received approval from the
Planning Board or Board of Adjustment, a proposed floor plan for the
new use, and the applicable application, and escrow fees. A site plan
exemption shall be granted for a change in use only if the following
criteria are satisfied:
(a)
The prior use had received site plan approval
and no unapproved deviations from that site plan approval have occurred;
(b)
The developer provides proof that all real estate
taxes on the property are current;
(c)
The developer provides a certification that
there are no anticipated or planned improvements and/or changes to
the existing building or property. For purposes of this requirement,
changes that are strictly cosmetic in nature, interior changes that
do not result in any change to the size or footprint of the existing
building and changes to the signage for the use shall not be considered
to be improvements or changes to the building;
(d)
The change in use does not result in any increase
in water consumption, septic demand or the number of required off-street
parking spaces or off-street loading requirements; and
(e)
The use is a use permitted by the portion of
the Zoning Ordinance applicable to the zoning district in which the
property is situated as evidenced by a zoning permit issued by the
Township's Zoning Officer.
(3)
If the submission of the developer is found
to be incomplete, the developer shall be notified thereof within 45
days of submission of the application and accompanying documents,
or it shall be deemed to be properly submitted.
B.
Time for decision.
(1)
Upon the submission to the Municipal Clerk of
a complete application for a preliminary site plan for 10 acres of
land or less, and 10 dwelling units or fewer, the Planning Board shall
grant or deny preliminary approval within 45 days of the date of such
submission or within such further time as may be consented to by the
developer.
[Amended 11-4-2021 by Ord. No. 21-20-2021]
(2)
Upon the submission of a complete application
for a preliminary site plan for more than 10 acres, or more than 10
dwelling units, the Planning Board shall grant or deny preliminary
approval within 95 days of the date of such submission or within such
further time as may be consented to by the developer. Otherwise, the
Planning Board shall be deemed to have granted preliminary approval
of the site plan.
[Amended 11-4-2021 by Ord. No. 21-20-2021]

amendment in the layout of improvements proposed by the developer
than have been the subject of a hearing, an amended application for
development shall be submitted and proceeded upon as in the case of
the original application.
C.
Decision.
(1)
The Planning Board shall, if the proposed development
complies with the requirements of this chapter, grant preliminary
site plan approval.
(2)
If the site plan is denied, the reasons for
denial shall be stated upon the records of the Planning Board.
(3)
The Planning Board, acting upon applications
for preliminary site plan approval, shall have the power to grant
such exceptions from the requirements for site plan approval as may
be reasonable and within the general purpose and intent of the provisions
for site plan review and approval in this chapter if the literal enforcement
of one or more provisions of the chapter is impractical or will exact
undue hardship because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land
in question.
(4)
If the Planning Board acts favorably on the
preliminary site plan, the Chairman and Secretary will affix their
signatures on the site plan.
D.
Effect of preliminary approval. Preliminary approval
of a site plan shall confer upon the applicant the following rights
for a three-year period from the date of preliminary approval:
(1)
That the general terms and conditions on which
preliminary approval was granted shall not be changed.
(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)
That the Planning Board may grant extensions
on such preliminary approval for additional periods of at least one
year, but not to exceed a total extension of two years, provided that
if the design standards have been revised by ordinance, such revised
standards may govern.
(4)
The Planning Board may grant all of the above
rights for a period of time longer than three years for a site plan
with an area of 50 acres or more. Such length of time shall take into
consideration the number of dwelling units and/or nonresidential floor
area or number of structures, the economic conditions and the comprehensiveness
of the development among others. The Planning Board may grant an extension
to preliminary approval for such additional period of time as shall
be determined by the Planning Board and for the same reason stated
above.
E.
Filing. The Secretary of the Planning Board shall
certify two full sets, on each page, with an appropriate stamp showing
date of approval, file number, Chairman's signature and Secretary's
signature. One set shall be given to the applicant, and one set shall
be retained in the official files of the Planning Board.
F.
Preliminary site plan general requirements. Each site
plan submitted to the Municipal Clerk shall provide for the following:
(1)
The layout of the land development shall be
consistent with the Municipal Zoning Ordinance.
(2)
Streets within the land development shall be
of sufficient width and suitable grade and suitably located to accommodate
prospective traffic and to provide access for firefighting and emergency
equipment to buildings and coordinated so as to compose a convenient
system consistent with the circulation element of the Master Plan.
No street shall be required of a width greater than 50 feet within
the right-of-way lines unless said street constitutes an extension
of an existing street of a greater width or already has been shown
on the Master Plan at a greater width.
(3)

of streets or driveways and for any required walkways, curbs, gutters,
streetlights, fire hydrants and water, drainage, sewerage facilities
and other improvements found necessary shall be as provided to the
developer by the Township Engineer. Where certain utilities to be
installed are under other governmental or authority jurisdictions,
the standards shall be provided by those jurisdictions and shall be
adhered to by the developer. A letter approving the proposed installation
and a statement as to who will carry out the construction shall be
required.
(8)
Any off-tract water, sewer, drainage or street
improvement required as a result of land development shall be paid
for by the developer on a pro rata basis. Said costs shall be determined
by proportioning said benefit to the site in relation to the benefit
of an entire area being served.
(9)
All taxes and assessments against the site shall
be paid prior to any preliminary approval.
(11)
All site plans shall be subject to the requirements and development restrictions governing steep slopes and stormwater management set forth in Chapter 115, Subdivision of Land, specifically, §§ 115-3, 115-6.2 and 115-11, and Chapter 114, Steep Slope Conservation, which are incorporated herein by reference.

A.
Submission of final site plan.
(1)
A final site plan and supporting drawings and
documentation constitute the complete development of the site plan
proposal and become the basis for the construction of the plan and
inspection by the Township.
(2)
The final site plan shall be submitted to the Municipal Clerk in the same manner as for all applications as prescribed in Article VIII of this chapter.
(3)
The site plan and any engineering or architectural
documents required shall be in final form and accurate for final approval
and construction.
(4)
The developer may, at his option, submit a final
site plan in stages to include only a portion of the original preliminary
site plan. Approval of the final site plan for a section shall not
extend the time limit of preliminary approval for the remaining sections.
The Planning Board shall ensure that any improvements required for
the site plan as a whole, which might have an adverse effect on an
approved section if the remaining sections were not completed, shall
be installed as a condition of approval for any section. This shall
include but not be limited to open space, recreation, soil and erosion
control and similar improvements.
B.
Time for decision.
(1)
The Planning Board shall grant final approval
if the detailed drawings, specifications and estimates of the application
for final approval conform to the standards established by this chapter
for final approval and the conditions of preliminary approval.
(2)
Final approval shall be granted or denied within
45 days after submission of a complete application to the Municipal
Clerk or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant.
Failure of the Planning Board to act within the period prescribed
shall constitute final approval, and a certificate of the Municipal
Clerk as to the failure of the Planning Board to act shall be issued
on request of the applicant, and it shall be sufficient in lieu of
the written endorsement or other evidence of approval.
C.
Effect of final approval. Final approval of a site
plan shall confer upon the applicant the following rights for a two-year
period after the date of final approval.
(1)
The zoning requirements applicable to the preliminary
approval first granted.
(2)
All other rights conferred upon the developer
pursuant to preliminary approval, whether conditional or otherwise,
shall not be changed.
(3)
The Planning Board may extend such period of
protection for extensions of one year but not to exceed three extensions.
(4)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
chapter, the granting of final approval terminates the time period
of preliminary approval for the section granted final approval.
(5)
In the case of a site plan for 150 acres or
more, the Planning Board may grant extensions of time longer than
two years as shall be determined by the Planning Board to be reasonable,
taking into consideration the number of dwelling units and nonresidential
floor area permissible, economic conditions and the comprehensiveness
of the development, among others.
D.
Final site plan details. Final site plan details are
primarily a refinement of the preliminary details by providing final
engineering and architectural information which will be classified
as site plan construction details. Whereas preliminary site plan data
may have been tentative, the final data shall be accurate. The following
data shall be provided on the final site plan:
E.
Guaranties. Prior to final site plan approval and
as a condition thereof, the developer shall have installed all contract
improvements or, at the option of the Planning Board, may require
and shall accept the following:
(1)
The furnishing of a performance guaranty in
favor of the municipality in an amount not to exceed 120% of the cost
of installation for improvements it may deem necessary or appropriate
as shown on the final site plan.
(2)
Provision for a maintenance guaranty to be posted
with the governing body for a period not to exceed two years after
final acceptance of the improvement, in an amount not to exceed 15%
of the cost of the improvement. In the event that other governmental
agencies or public utilities automatically will own the utilities
to be installed or the improvements are covered by a performance or
maintenance guaranty to another governmental agency, no performance
or maintenance guaranty, as the case may be, shall be required by
the municipality for such utilities or improvements.
(3)
The amount of any performance guaranty may be
reduced by the governing body, by resolution, when portions of the
improvements have been certified by the Municipal Engineer to have
been completed. The time allowed for installation of the improvements
for which the performance guaranty has been provided may be extended
by said body, by resolution.
(4)
If the required improvements are not completed
or corrected in accordance with the performance guaranty, the obligor
and surety, if any, shall be liable thereon to the municipality for
the reasonable cost of the improvements not completed or corrected,
and the municipality may, either prior to or after the receipt of
the proceeds thereof, complete such improvements.
(5)
When all of the required improvements have been
completed, the obligor shall notify the governing body, in writing,
by certified mail addressed in care of the Municipal Clerk, of the
completion of said improvements and shall send a copy thereof to the
Municipal Engineer. Thereupon the Municipal Engineer shall inspect
all of the improvements and shall file a detailed report, in writing,
with the governing body, indicating either approval, partial approval
or rejection of the improvements with a statement of reasons for any
rejection. If partial approval is indicated, the cost of the improvements
rejected shall be set forth.
(6)
The governing body shall either approve, partially
approve or reject the improvements on the basis of the report of the
Municipal Engineer and shall notify the obligor, in writing, by certified
mail, of the contents of said report and the action of said approving
authority with relation thereto, not later than 65 days after receipt
of the notice from the obligor of the completion of the improvements.
Where partial approval is granted, the obligor shall be released from
all liability pursuant to its performance guaranty except for that
portion adequately sufficient to secure provision of the improvements
not yet approved. Failure of the governing body to send or provide
such notification to the obligor within 65 days shall be deemed to
constitute approval of the improvements, and the obligor and surety,
if any, shall be released from all liability, pursuant to such performance
guaranty.
(7)
If any portion of the required improvements
are rejected, the approving authority may require the obligor to complete
such improvements and, upon completion, the same procedure of notification
as set forth in this section shall be followed.
(8)
The obligor shall reimburse the Municipality
for all reasonable inspection fees paid to the Municipal Engineer
for the foregoing inspection of improvements.
F.
Joint submission. Nothing in this section precludes
a developer from submitting his preliminary and final site plan as
one submission, provided that all requirements of the final site plan
shall be adhered to.
G.
Deviation from final site plan. The developer shall
undertake construction in substantial conformance with the approved
final site plan if caused by change of conditions beyond the control
of the developer since the date of final approval, and the deviation
would not substantially alter the character of the development or
substantially impair the intent and purpose of the Master Plan or
Zoning Ordinance.
H.
Filing. The Secretary of the Planning Board shall
certify three full sets, on each page, with an appropriate stamp showing
date approved, file number, Chairman's signature and Secretary's signature.
One set shall be given to the applicant, one to the Zoning Enforcement
Officer for his use, and one set shall be retained in the official
files of the Planning Board.
