The City of Vineland hereby adopts an Official
Map as part of this chapter and establishes procedures for its use.
The City has also established procedures for street extensions, for
park development and for the provision of public facilities, particularly
as set by the Master Plan of Street Extensions and the Comprehensive
Plan for Parks. Under this chapter, the City also adopts the provisions
of the Transportation Plan recommended by the Cumberland County Urban
Area Transportation Study (CCUATS).
Prior to the adoption of any amendment or proposed change of the Official Map, the governing body shall refer such amendment or change to the Planning Board as provided under §
425-25 of Article
II of this chapter.
The Official Map shall be deemed conclusive
with respect to the location and widths of streets and public drainageways
and the location and extent of flood control basins as well as public
areas, whether or not such streets, ways, basins or areas are improved,
unimproved or are in actual physical existence.
Upon receiving an application for development which is affected by this article, the Planning Board shall advise the governing body, and the governing body may reserve for future public use the aforesaid streets, ways, basins and public areas in the manner provided under §
425-48 of Article
VI of this chapter.
Municipal approval by ordinance under the provisions
of any law, other than as provided herein, of the layout, widening,
changing the course of or closing of any street or the widening or
changing the course of any public drainageway or changing the boundaries
of a flood control basin or public area shall be subject to the provisions
of this chapter as authorized under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-33.
Where the enforcement of §
425-39 of this article would entail practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship or where the circumstances of the case do not require the building or structure to be related to a street, the Board of Adjustment may vary the application of §
425-39 and direct the issuance of a permit subject to conditions that will provide adequate access for fire-fighting equipment and emergency vehicles and that will protect any future street layout shown on the Official Map or on the circulation plan element of the Master Plan pursuant to § 425-29A(4) of Article
III of this chapter. Sections
425-350 through
425-354 of Article
XX of this chapter shall apply to such appeals.
