a.
Subdivision Review. All subdivisions, as defined under Section 25-2, are subject to the review procedures specified herein.
b.
Site Plan Review. No construction permit shall be issued for any new structure or for an addition to an existing structure and no Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued for any change of use of an existing structure until the site plan has been reviewed and approved by the municipality except that:
1.
A construction permit for a single-family detached dwelling unit or a two-family dwelling unit and/or their accessory building(s) on a lot shall not require site plan approval, except that the use of any existing or proposed principal or accessory building for a home occupation as defined and permitted by this chapter shall require minor site plan approval prior to the issuance of a construction permit or certificate of occupancy. The foregoing shall in no way affect the responsibility of an applicant to submit the necessary information and receive the necessary approvals as may be required pursuant to other Ordinances.
2.
Any change of use from one permitted nonresidential use to another permitted nonresidential use shall not require site plan approval if both the construction official and zoning officer stipulate to the Board that the existing site development meets the requirements of this chapter for the new use.
c.
Variance Relief. All applications for variance relief to the Board of Adjustment not involving any related site plan, subdivision or conditional use approval shall be filed at least fourteen (14) days prior to the second Wednesday of the month. The filing shall include nineteen (19) copies of any maps and related material; nineteen (19) completed copies of the appropriate application form(s), which includes the checklist for variances pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-10.3 attached to this chapter; and the fee in accordance with Section 25-9 of this chapter. The Board shall act upon the application as stipulated by law.
d.
General Adjustments. In the event that an application for development requires an approval by a governmental agency other than the Board, the Board shall, in appropriate circumstances, condition its approval upon the subsequent approval of such governmental agency, provided that the municipality shall make a decision on any application for development within the time period provided in this chapter, or within an extension of such period as has been agreed to by the applicant, unless the municipal agency is prevented or relieved from so acting by operation of law.
e.

At the request of a developer, the Planning Board shall grant one (1) informal review of a concept plan for a development for which the developer intends to prepare and submit an application for development.
2.
The developer shall be required to submit fees for such an informal review in accordance with Section 25-9 of this chapter.

The developer shall not be bound by any concept plan for which review is requested, and the Planning Board shall not be bound by any such review.
