Whenever a developer's application for development has been granted pursuant to this chapter and the developer is willing and able to proceed with the development but is barred from proceeding with the development by a legal action instituted by any state agency, political subdivision or other party to protect the public health and welfare or by a directive or order issued by any state agency, political subdivision or court of competent jurisdiction to protect the public health or welfare, the running of the period of approval under this chapter shall be suspended for the period of time said legal action is pending or such directive or order is in effect.
A. 
A developer may submit a development application pursuant to this chapter which is directly or indirectly barred by a legal action instituted by a state agency, political subdivision or other party to protect the public health and welfare or by a directive or order issued by any state agency, political subdivision or court of competent jurisdiction to protect the public health and welfare. The Board to which the application is submitted shall process the application as if no such bar existed. Where the Board approves the application, its approval shall be conditioned upon the removal of such legal barrier to development.
B. 
A developer may submit an application for development pursuant to this chapter which requires the approval of an agency outside the provisions of this chapter. The Board to which the application is submitted pursuant to this chapter shall process the application as if no further approval was required. Where the Board approves the application, its approval shall be conditioned upon the subsequent approval of such other agency.
