No development shall take place within the Township nor shall any land be cleared or altered nor shall any watercourse be diverted or its channel or floodplain dredged or filled nor shall any parking areas, accessory or otherwise or accessways thereto be constructed, installed or enlarged nor shall any building permit, certificate of occupancy or other required permit be issued with respect to any such structure, land or parking area, except in accordance with an approval of such development granted pursuant to this Part 1, unless exempted in accordance with § 200-6.
Site plan approval shall not be required for
any of the following:
A.
Detached single-family dwellings including accessory
uses permitted as of right under applicable zoning districts, but
this shall not limit the requirements for submission and approval
of subdivision plats as otherwise required by Township ordinances.
B.
The one-time construction of a parking area for less
than three vehicles.
C.
Any structure or use for which a site plan review
application was made to the Planning Board prior to the effective
date of this Part 1 under municipal ordinances and regulations then
in effect and superseded by this Part 1 and that is developed in accordance
with an approval of such application heretofore given by the Planning
Board pursuant to said prior ordinances and regulations, provided
that such approval is less than two years old.
D.
A proposed development not involving a change in use
and not affecting existing circulation, drainage, building arrangements,
landscaping, buffering, lighting and other considerations of site
plan review.
A.
The rules, regulations and standards set forth in
this Part 1 shall be considered the minimum requirements for the protection
of the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the Township.
However, if the applicant can clearly demonstrate that because of
peculiar conditions pertaining to the applicant's land the literal
enforcement of this Part 1 is impracticable or will exact undue hardship,
the Planning Board may permit such exemption(s) and waiver(s) as may
be reasonable, within the general purpose and intent of the rules,
regulations and standards established by this Part 1.
C.
The Planning Board, when acting upon an application which includes provisions for low- and moderate-income housing, may waive those portions of the design standards that do not create health and safety concerns for the Township or for the future residents of a development, based on waiver standards contained in Subsection A of this section.
