The Planning Board shall grant or deny general development approval within 95 days after submission of a complete application to the Administrative Officer, or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. Failure of the Planning Board to act within the period prescribed shall constitute GDP approval of the planned development.

If, after the approval of a GDP, the applicant wishes to revise the timing schedule, or wishes to make any variation in the location of land uses within the development, or to increase the density of residential development or the floor area ratio of nonresidential development in any section of the development, the applicant shall be required to gain the prior approval of the Reviewing Board, except that the applicant may reduce the number of residential units or amount of nonresidential floor space by no more than 15%, or reduce the residential density or nonresidential floor area ratio by no more than 15% provided, however, that a applicant may not reduce the number of low and moderate income residential units to be provided, if any, without the prior approval of the Reviewing Board, and provided further there shall be no reduction in the level of improvements, off-tract contributions, or similar conditions of the General Development Plan (GDP) without prior approval of the Board.

If the Township does not receive such notification at the completion of any section of the development, the Township shall notify the applicant, by certified mail, in order to determine whether the terms of the approved plan are being complied with.

If the applicant does not complete any section of development within eight months of the date provided for in the approved GDP, or if at any time the Township has cause to believe that the applicant is not fulfilling their obligations pursuant to the approved GDP, the Township shall notify the applicant, by certified mail, and the applicant shall have 10 days within which to give evidence that they are fulfilling their obligations pursuant to the approved GDP. The Township thereafter shall conduct a hearing to determine whether the applicant is in violation of the approved GDP. If after the hearing, the Township finds good cause to terminate the approval, it shall provide written notice of same to the applicant and the approval shall be terminated 30 days thereafter.

In the event that a applicant who has GDP approval does not apply for preliminary site plan or subdivision approval for the planned development which is the subject of the GDP approval within five years of the date upon which the GDP has been approved by the Reviewing Board, the Township shall have cause to terminate the approval. For purposes of this article, the application for preliminary approval within the five year period as required herein will be satisfied by submitting one or more applications for one or more sections of a phased development within this five year period, and will remain in compliance provided subsequent preliminary plat submissions for further sections of the development are submitted in a timely manner consistent with the timing schedule approved as part of the General Development Plan (GDP).

In the event that a development which is the subject of an approved GDP is completed before the end of the term of the approval, the approval shall terminate and the development shall be considered complete on the date upon which the certificate of occupancy has been issued for the final residential and nonresidential structure in the last section of the development in accordance with the timing schedule set forth in the approved GDP and the applicant has fulfilled all his obligations pursuant to the approval.

Except as provided hereunder, the developer shall be required to gain the prior approval of the Planning Board if, after approval of the GDP, the developer wishes to make any modification in the location of land uses within the planned development or to increase the density of residential development or the floor area ration of nonresidential development in any section of the planned development.

Any modification in the location of land uses or increase in density or floor area ratio proposed in reaction to a negative decision of, or condition of development approval by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) shall be approved by the Planning Board if the developer can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Planning Board, that the modification being proposed is a direct result of such determination by the NJDEP.

Upon the completion of each section of the development as set forth in the approved GDP, the developer shall notify the Board Secretary by certified mail as evidence that the developer is fulfilling his obligations under the approved plan. For the purpose of this section "completion" of any section of the development shall mean that the developer has acquired a certificate of occupancy for every residential unit or every nonresidential structure, as set forth in the approved GDP. If the municipality does not receive such notification at the completion of any section of the development, the municipality shall notify the developer, by certified mail, in order to determine whether or not terms of the approved plan are being complied with. If a developer does not complete any section of the development within eight months of the date provided for in the approved plan, or if at any time the municipality has caused to believe that the developer is not fulfilling their obligations pursuant to the approved plan, the municipality shall notify the developer, by certified mail, and the developer shall have 10 days within which to give evidence that they are fulfilling their obligation pursuant to the approved plan. The municipality thereafter shall conduct a hearing to determine whether the developer is in violation of the approved plan. If, after such a hearing, the municipality finds good cause to terminate the approval, it shall provide written notice of same to the developer and the approval shall be terminated 30 days thereafter.

In the event that a developer who has General Development Plan (GDP) approval does not apply for preliminary approval for the planned development which is subject of that GDP approval within five years of the date upon which the GDP has been approved by the Planning Board, the municipality shall have cause to terminate the approval.

GDP satisfactory completion: In the event that a development which is the subject of an approved GDP is completed before the end of the term of the approval, the approval shall terminate with the completion of the development. For the purpose of this section, a development shall be considered complete on the date upon which a certificate of occupancy has been issued for the final residential or nonresidential structure in the last section of the development in accordance with the timing schedule set forth in the approved GDP and the developer has fulfilled all of his obligations pursuant to the approval.

If the developer has followed the standards prescribed for final approval, and, in the case of a subdivision, has duly recorded the plat as required in section 42 of P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-54), the Planning Board may extend such period of protection for extensions of one year but not to exceed three extensions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this act, the granting of final approval terminates the time period of preliminary approval pursuant to section 37 of P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-49) for the section granted final approval.

In the case of a subdivision or site plan for a planned development of 50 acres or more, conventional subdivision or site plan for 150 acres or more, or site plan for development of a nonresidential floor area of 200,000 square feet or more, the Planning Board may grant the rights referred to in Subsection 1 of this section for such period of time, longer than two years, as shall be determined by the Planning Board to be reasonable taking into consideration (1) the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under final approval, (2) economic conditions and (3) the comprehensiveness of the development.

Whenever the Planning Board grants an extension of final approval pursuant to Subsection 1 or 2 of this section and final approval has expired before the date on which the extension is granted, the extension shall begin on what would otherwise be the expiration date. The developer may apply for the extension either before or after what would otherwise be the expiration date.

The Planning Board shall grant an extension of final approval for a period determined by the Board but not exceeding one year from what would otherwise be the expiration date, if the developer proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board that the developer was barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from proceeding with the development because of delays in obtaining legally required approvals from other governmental entities and that the developer applied promptly for and diligently pursued these approvals. A developer shall apply for the extension before (1) what would otherwise be the expiration date of final approval or (2) the 91st day after the developer receives the last legally required approval from other governmental entities, whichever occurs later.
