g.
Consider and report to the Township Council within thirty-five (35) days after referral as to any proposed development regulation submitted to it and also pass upon other matters specifically referred to the Planning Board by the Township Council.
h.
Whenever the proposed development requires approval of a subdivision, site plan or conditional use, but not a variance pursuant to subsection 25-7.2d of this chapter (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70[d]), to grant to the same extent and subject to the same restrictions as the Zoning Board of Adjustment:
2.
Direction pursuant to subsection 25-7.2f1 of this chapter (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-34) for issuance of a permit for a building or structure in the bed of a mapped street or public drainage way, flood control basin or public area reserved pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-32.
3.
Direction pursuant to subsection 25-7.2f2 of this chapter (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-36) for issuance of a permit for a building or structure not related to a street.
Whenever relief is requested pursuant to this section, notice of the hearing on the application for development shall include reference to the request for a variance, or direction for issuance of a permit, as the case may be.
The developer may elect to submit a separate application requesting approval of the variance or direction of the issuance of a permit, and a subsequent application for any required approval for a subdivision, site plan, or conditional use. The separate approval of the variance or direction of the issuance of a permit, shall be conditioned upon grant of all required subsequent approvals by the Planning Board. No such subsequent approval shall be granted unless the approval can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without substantial impairment of the intent and purpose of the zone plan and the zoning provisions of this chapter.
