Recognizing that certain uses, activities and structures are necessary to serve the needs and convenience of the Township, and at the same time recognizing that such uses may be or become inimical to the public health, safety and general welfare if located without proper consideration being given to existing conditions and the character of the surrounding area, such uses are hereby designated as conditional uses and are enumerated in Section 122 for the zones in which they are permitted. Each conditional use is required to meet the following special review procedures.

The Planning Board, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-67, may authorize establishment of a conditional use. Applications for conditional uses shall be approved or denied by the Planning Board within 95 days of submission of a complete application to the Secretary of the Planning Board, or within such further time as may be consented to by an applicant.

Applications for conditional uses shall include the information required for preliminary site plan review and any additional information as is necessary to show compliance with this subsection.

The Planning Board shall review the application in accordance with all applicable criteria and decide on the appropriateness of the use at the location proposed. Failure of the Planning Board to act within the period prescribed shall constitute approval of the application.

The use for which application is being made shall be specifically authorized as a conditional use in the zone in which the proposed site is located.
