Off-tract means not located on the property which is the subject of a development application, nor on a contiguous portion of a street or right-of-way.

In accordance with N.J.S.A. C40:55D-42 the Planning Board or the Board of Adjustment may require off-tract improvements from a developer. An off-tract improvement shall be one or more required improvements which are necessary for the successful completion of a development in the interest of furthering the public health, safety and general welfare.

An off-tract improvement shall be required where either the existing facilities serving the area or sub-area are already operating at a deficient level of service, or the inclusion of the new development will make such present level of service deficient according to engineering standards utilized in determining the level of service.

The proportional contribution of any such off-tract improvement to the applicant shall be reasonably related to the benefit or use of the total area to be served.

Under the conditions of this section, off-tract improvements shall be limited to new or improved sanitary sewerage disposal system; storm water and drainage system and facilities and all necessary appurtenances thereto; all public utilities, including required easements; new or improved street and right-of-way widths; traffic regulation and control devices; intersection improvements; public utility relocation; and improvements required by solutions to traffic, circulation, and safety factors which are related to the property or properties being developed.
