Modifies requirements for preliminary site plans and subdivisions under Municipal Land Use Law.
This bill amends New Jersey's Municipal Land Use Law to clarify the two-step approval process for site plans and subdivisions. It limits preliminary approval reviews to layout and zoning compliance (not detailed engineering plans), requiring developers to submit only essential information for initial review. The bill extends the vesting period for preliminary approvals from 3 to 5 years (except for cases where site infrastructure is built before final approval), shortens the review timeline for larger projects from 95 to 75 days, and allows developers to submit preliminary and final approval applications simultaneously. These changes aim to reduce costs for developers by delaying detailed engineering requirements until the final approval stage while maintaining zoning compliance and public input opportunities.
