ARTICLE III
Application Requirements and Development Procedures
§ 175-12 Completeness requirements.
A.
Content. Each application for approval of a minor subdivision, minor site plan, preliminary major subdivision, preliminary site plan, final major subdivision, final site plan or conditional use, as the case may be, and each application for variance relief shall include all information and data listed in the appropriate corresponding checklist as set forth in this chapter.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Checklists for applications are included in Appendix A as an attachment to this chapter.
B.
Complete application. The Planning Board Administrator and Zoning Board Administrator, whichever the case may be, shall review all applications and accompanying documents required by this chapter for the respective board to determine that the application is complete. An application for development shall be complete for purposes of commencing the applicable time period for action by a municipal agency when so certified by the respective Administrator. In the event that the Planning Board Administrator or Zoning Board Administrator does not certify the application to be complete within 45 days of the date of its submission, the application shall be deemed complete upon the expiration of the forty-five-day period for purposes of commencing the applicable time period unless the application lacks information indicated on the checklist for such application and the Planning Board Administrator or Zoning Board Administrator has notified the applicant, in writing, of the deficiencies in the application within 45 days of submission of the application. The applicant may request that one or more submission requirements be waived, in which event the Planning Board Administrator or Zoning Board Administrator shall refer the request to the appropriate Board within 45 days. Nothing herein shall be construed as diminishing the applicant's obligation to prove in the application process that he is entitled to approval of the application. The Planning Board Administrator or Zoning Board Administrator may subsequently require correction of any information found to be in error and submission of additional information not specified in the checklist or any revisions in the accompanying documents as are reasonably necessary to make an informed decision as to whether the requirements necessary for approval of the application for development have been met. The application shall not be deemed incomplete for lack of any such additional information or any revisions in the accompanying documents so required by the Planning Board Administrator or Zoning Board Administrator.
C.
Board agendas. Complete applications shall be submitted to the Administrator of the Board at least 15 days before the Board meeting on the agenda for which the application is requested to be heard. If the application is not complete by 11:00 a.m. of the 15th day prior to the hearing the application shall not be placed on the meeting agenda. The determination as to completeness shall not necessarily be made upon submittal.
[Amended 9-24-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-26]
D.
Electronic submissions.
[Added 1-7-2021 by Ord. No. 14-2020]
(1)
Submissions to the Planning Board or Zoning Officer for a Zoning permit or Planning Board approval in addition to the hardcopy plan submissions shall also include a digital plan submission for the following:
(2)
The digital file for the maps and plans submitted shall be in .dwg, .dgn, .shp, .gdb, or .dxf file format.
(a)
All linework shall connect at line end points. Overlaps, gaps, or dangles are not acceptable. Polygon objects, such as parcels or other boundaries, shall be created from line segments, connecting to adjacent linework at intersections. Single, closed polygons are not to be used where coincidental boundaries may occur. All text shall be clearly legible and not obscured by polygon boundaries/linework.
(b)
It is recommended that all electronic files be created in the New Jersey State Plane Coordinate System North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83-2011) and all elevations be in North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) in feet. All digital files should georeference to available digital mapping resource data from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to name just a few. The geographical referencing process, known as georeferencing, essentially ensures that the positioning of all geographical data layers will be correctly referenced to the map projection of the New Jersey State Plane Coordinate System for increased accuracy.
(c)
Digital submissions of architectural building plans is not required.

Editor's Note: See Appendix A, included as an attachment to this chapter.
B.
Classification of subdivision.
[Amended 10-4-2012 by Ord. No. 14-2012]
(1)
The Staff Committee shall review the plat prior to the regular meeting and shall classify the subdivision as a minor or major subdivision. The subdivider also has the option of having the full Planning Board make the determination, by submitting an application to the Board for said determination. If a proposed subdivision is determined to be minor, meaning no more than three lots, and if the proposed lots meet all bulk requirements of the Margate Zoning Code,[2] such minor subdivision shall be designated a by-right minor subdivision.
(2)
The Staff Committee shall report its recommendations and comments on each application to the Planning Board at the Board's next regular meeting. The Board shall have the right to approve or change the classification by majority vote. The Staff Committee recommendation may be presented at the same meeting as the subdivision application itself (or preliminary subdivision application in the case of a major subdivision).
(3)
The Planning Board shall establish a Minor Subdivision Committee to consider by-right subdivisions. Said Committee shall consist of the Zoning Officer and two members of the Planning Board to be designated by the Board. The Committee shall meet within seven days of advisement by the Staff Committee so as to review and confirm that a proposed minor subdivision meets all standards of a by-right subdivision. Said Minor Subdivision Committee is hereby established as authorized by N.J.S.A. 40:55D-47.
(4)
A notice of public hearing for a by-right subdivision shall not be required. A by-right minor subdivision shall be deemed to be finally approved if approval is granted by the Committee and may be conditioned upon compliance with all requirements pertaining to minor subdivisions as specified in the Margate City Code.
(5)
The by-right Minor Subdivision Committee shall consist of the Zoning Officer and two additional members of the Planning Board to be selected on a rotating basis beginning in alphabetical order.
C.
Preliminary review.
(1)
Upon receipt of the application and accompanying exhibits, the Board will distribute copies of the application and attached exhibits to the City Engineer, City Planner, County Planning Board and any other official or agency who may be affected by the proposed application.
(2)
Officials and agencies cited in the preceding subsection shall forward reviews and recommendations, in writing, to the Board within 30 days of receipt.
D.
Board action.
(1)
Except for applications governed by the time limits, the Board shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny a minor subdivision or site plan within 45 days of the submission of a complete application, unless the applicant shall extend the period of time within which the Board may act.
(2)
Failure of the Board to act within the period prescribed shall constitute minor subdivision or site plan approval and a certificate of the Board Administrator as to the failure of the Board to act shall be issued on request of the applicant. The certificate shall be sufficient in lieu of the written endorsement or other evidence of approval, herein required, and shall be so accepted by the County Register for purposes of filing subdivision plats or deeds.
E.
Effect of approval. Approval of a minor subdivision or site plan shall be deemed final approval, provided that the Board may condition such approval on the provision of improvements as may be required.. The zoning requirements and general terms and conditions, whether conditional or otherwise, upon which minor subdivision or site plan approval was granted, shall not be changed for a period of two years after the date on which the resolution of approval is adopted, provided that the approved minor subdivision shall have been duly recorded in accordance with the subsection below.
F.
Expiration of minor subdivision. Approval of a minor subdivision shall expire 190 days from the date on which the resolution of approval is adopted unless within such period a plat in conformity with such approval and the Map Filing Law, N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq., or a deed clearly describing the approved minor subdivision is filed by the developer with the County Register, the City Engineer and the City Tax Assessor. Any such plat or deed accepted for such filing shall have been signed by the Board Chairperson and Secretary. In reviewing the application for development for a proposed minor subdivision, the Board may accept a plat not in conformity with N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq., provided that if the developer chooses to file the minor subdivision as provided herein by plat rather than deed such plat shall conform with the provisions of the said Act.
G.
Extensions of minor subdivision or site plan approval.
(1)
The Board may extend the one-hundred-ninety-day period for filing a minor subdivision plat or deed pursuant to this chapter, if the developer proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board:
(a)
That the developer was barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from filing because of delays in obtaining legally required approvals from other governmental or quasi-governmental entities; and
(b)
That the developer applied promptly for and diligently pursued the required approvals. The length of the extension shall be equal to the period of delay caused by the wait for the required approvals, as determined by the Board. The developer may apply for the extension either before or after what would otherwise be the expiration date.
(2)
The Board shall grant an extension of minor subdivision or site plan 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 agencies and that the developer applied promptly for and diligently pursued the required approvals. The developer shall apply for the extension before what would otherwise be the expiration date of minor subdivision approval or the 91st day after the developer receives the first legally required approval from other governmental entities, whichever occurs later.
H.
Lands resulting from minor subdivision. Any lands, lots or parcels resulting or remaining from a minor subdivision may not be submitted as a minor subdivision for 24 months from the date of initial approval.

(b)
The Board shall approve, conditionally approve or deny a preliminary major subdivision application of more than 10 lots within 95 days after the submission of a complete application, unless the applicant shall extend the period of time within which the Board may act.
(c)
Failure of the Board to act within the time prescribed shall constitute preliminary major subdivision approval, and a certificate of the Board Administrator as to the failure of the Board to act shall be issued on request of the applicant. Said certificate shall be sufficient in lieu of the written endorsement or other evidence of approval herein required and shall be accepted by the County Register for purposes of filing subdivision plats.
(d)
If the Planning Board required any substantial amendment in the layout of improvements proposed by the developer that have been the subject of a hearing, an amended application for development shall be submitted and proceeded upon, as in the case of the original application for development. The Planning Board shall, if the proposed development complies with the chapter and the Municipal Land Use Law, grant preliminary approval.
(2)
Site plans.
(a)
Except for applications governed by the time limits, the Board shall approve, conditionally approve or deny a preliminary major site plan which involves 10 acres of land or less and 10 dwelling units or less within 45 days after the submission of a complete application, unless the applicant shall extend the period of time within which the Board may act.

(c)
Failure of the Board to act within the time prescribed shall constitute preliminary major site plan approval, and a certificate of the Board Administrator as to the failure of the Board to act shall be issued on request of the applicant. Said certificate shall be sufficient in lieu of a written endorsement or other evidence of approval herein required.
D.
Substantial modification.
(1)
If any substantial modification is proposed or required after preliminary approval has been granted, an application for such a modification shall be submitted and proceeded upon as in the case of the original application for development. The applicant may apply for modification approval either independently of or concurrently with an application for final approval. In either case, notice pursuant to this chapter and N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq. shall be required and shall state the nature of the proposed modification. A substantial modification shall mean one which: increases density of development; increases the square footage of buildings; proposes a different use; would result in increased adverse impact upon properties in the immediate area with respect to factors such as, but not limited to, noise, glare, and increased drainage runoff; or materially changes a required element of the development plan. Any modification which decreases the number of proposed lots, dwelling units, number of square feet, density or intensity of use shall not be considered a substantial modification so long as there is no proposed change of use and no additional variances or exceptions are required.
(2)
If the Planning Board requires any substantial amendment in the layout of improvements proposed by the developer that have been the subject of a hearing, an amended application for development shall be submitted and proceeded upon as in the case of the original application for development. The Planning Board shall, if the proposed development complies with the chapter and the Municipal Land Use Law, grant preliminary approval.
E.
Effect of preliminary approval. Preliminary approval of a major subdivision or site plan, except as provided in this section, shall confer upon the applicant the following rights for a three-year period from the date on which the resolution granting preliminary approval is adopted:
(1)
That the general terms and conditions on which preliminary approval was granted shall not be changed, including but not limited to use requirements; layout and design standards for streets, curbs and sidewalks; lot sizes; yard dimensions and off-tract improvements; and in the case of a site plan, any requirements peculiar to site plan approval pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-41, except that nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the City from modifying by ordinance such general terms and conditions of preliminary approval as relate to public health and safety.
(2)
That the applicant may submit for final approval on or before the expiration date of preliminary approval the whole or a section or sections of the preliminary subdivision plat or site plan, as the case may be.
(3)
That the applicant may apply for and the Board may grant extension on such preliminary approval for additional periods of at least one year but not to exceed a total extension of two years, provided that, if the design standards have been revised by ordinance, such revised standards may govern.
(4)
Whenever the Board grants an extension of preliminary approval pursuant to the previous paragraphs above, and preliminary approval has expired before the date on which the extension was granted, the extension shall begin on what would otherwise be the expiration date. The developer may apply for an extension either before or after what would otherwise be the expiration date.
(5)
The Board shall grant an extension of preliminary 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 the required approvals. The developer shall apply for the extension before what would otherwise be the expiration date of the preliminary approval or the 91st day after the developer received the last legally required approval from other governmental entities, whichever is later. An extension granted pursuant to this section shall not preclude the Board from granting an extension pursuant to the previous paragraphs above.
F.
Simultaneous preliminary and final site plan approval. Combined preliminary and final site plan approval may be granted, provided all submission requirements for both applications are met. The time limit within which the Board shall act shall be the longest time permitted for either of the two approvals.
§ 175-19 Final approval of major subdivision and site plan review procedures.
B.
Preliminary review.
(1)
Upon receipt of the application and accompanying exhibits, the Planning Board will distribute copies of the application and attached exhibits to the City Engineer, City Planner, County Planning Board and any other official or agency who may be affected by the proposed application.
(2)
Officials and agencies cited in the preceding section shall forward reviews and recommendations, in writing, to the Planning Board within 30 days of receipt.
C.
Board action.
(1)
The Board shall grant final approval if the detailed drawings, specifications and estimates of the application for final approval conform to the standards established by ordinance for final approval, the conditions for preliminary approval, and in the case of a major subdivision, the standards prescribed in the Map Filing Law, P.L. 1960, c. 141 (N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq.)
(2)
Final approval shall be granted or denied within 45 days after submission of a complete application or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. Failure of the Board to act within the period prescribed shall constitute final approval, and a certificate of the Board Secretary as to the failure of the Board to act shall be issued on request of the applicant. The certificate shall be sufficient in lieu of the written endorsement or other evidence of approval herein required and, in the case of subdivision plans, shall be so accepted by the County Register for purposes of filing.
(3)
Whenever review or approval of the application by the County Planning Board is required by N.J.S.A. 40:27-6.1 or 40:27-6.6, the Board shall condition its approval upon timely receipt of a favorable report on the application by the County Planning Board or approval by the County Planning Board by its failure to report thereon within the required time period.
D.
Effect of final approval.
(1)
The zoning requirements applicable to the preliminary approval first granted and all other rights conferred upon the developer, whether conditionally or otherwise, shall not be changed for a period of two years after the date on which the resolution of final approval is adopted, provided that, in the case of major subdivision, the rights conferred by this section shall expire if the plat has not been duly recorded within the time period provided below. If the developer has followed the standards prescribed for final approval and, in the case of subdivision, has duly recorded the plat with the County Register in accordance with the provisions below, the Board may extend such period of protection for extensions of one year but not to exceed three extensions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the granting of final approval terminates the time period of preliminary approval for any section of the development which is granted final approval.
(2)
Whenever the Board grants any extension of final approval pursuant to the preceding paragraph, 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.
(3)
The 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 an extension before what would otherwise be the expiration date of final approval or the 91st day after the developer receives the last legally required approval from other governmental entities, whichever occurs later. An extension granted pursuant to this section shall not preclude the Board from granting an extension pursuant to the preceding paragraphs.
E.
Conditions of approval.
(1)
Conditions binding. All conditions of preliminary and final approval shall be binding upon the applicant, all present and future owners, tenants, users and occupants of the property and their respective successors and assigns.
(2)
Failure to maintain. The applicant and any successor in interest shall be responsible for installing and maintaining in good order and condition all required improvements and landscaping, unless such improvements in landscaping are to be installed by, and/or dedicated to and maintained by, the City, county or another party under the terms of approval granted by the Board. Such required improvements shall include, but not be limited to, parking improvements, buffer zones, drainage facilities, exterior lighting and landscaping. Failure of any responsible party to install and/or maintain required improvements or landscaping shall constitute a violation of this chapter and shall be subject to the enforcement procedures set forth herein.
F.
Expiration of final major subdivision approval.
(1)
Final approval of a major subdivision shall expire 95 days from the date of signing of the plat unless within such period the plat shall have been duly filed by the applicant with the county. The Board may for good cause shown extend the period for recording for an additional period not to exceed 190 days from the date of signing of the plat. The Board may extend the ninety-five-day or one-hundred-ninety-day period if the applicant proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board that the applicant was barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from filing because of delays in obtaining legally required approvals from other governmental or quasi-governmental entities and that the applicant applied promptly for and diligently pursued required approvals. The length of the extension shall be equal to the period of delay caused by the wait for the required approvals, as determined by the Board. The developer may apply for an extension either before or after the original expiration date.
(2)
No subdivision plat shall be accepted for filing by the County until it has been approved by the Board as indicated on the instrument by the signature of the Chairperson and Secretary of the Board. The signatures of the Board Chairperson and Secretary shall not be affixed until the developer has posted the performance guarantees required by this chapter and has satisfied all other applicable conditions of final approval. If the county records any plat without such approval, such recording shall be deemed null and void and, upon request of the municipality, the plat shall be expunged from the official records.
§ 175-20 Amended site plan or subdivision review.
Applications for amended site plan or subdivision review shall be governed by the same requirements as all other applications for subdivision or site plan approval.

Whenever approval of a conditional use is requested by the applicant, notice of the hearing on the application shall include reference to the request for conditional use approval.
§ 175-22 County approval.
A.
Whenever review or approval of a development application by the County Planning Board is required by N.J.S.A. 40:27-6.3 or 40:27-6.6, the Board shall condition any approval that it grants upon timely receipt of a favorable report on the application by the County Planning Board. The County Planning Board's failure to report thereon within the required time period provided by law shall be considered a favorable response.
B.
Whenever County Planning Board review or approval is required, the applicant shall be responsible for filing all necessary applications, plans, reports and other documents directly with the County Planning Board.
§ 175-23 Signing and distribution of approved plans.
A.
When all conditions of any minor, preliminary or final approval have been met, the applicant shall submit to the Board Administrator eight copies of the approved plan(s) with all revisions required by the conditions of approval. The approved plan(s) shall then be signed by the Board Chairperson, Board Administrator and Engineer. Two signed copies shall be returned to the applicant and the remaining copies shall be distributed by the Board Administrator.

In addition to the foregoing, whenever any subdivision is to be perfected by the filing of the approval plat with the County Register in conformance with the Map Filing Law, the applicant shall submit to the Board Administrator, simultaneously with the plans described in Subsection A above, two Mylar and at least eight paper prints of the plat intended for recording. Provided that it conforms to the Map Filing Law, the plat intended for recording shall be signed by the Board Chairperson, Board Administrator and Engineer simultaneously with the signing of the approved plans submitted pursuant to Subsection A above. After signing, one Mylar and all paper prints of the plat so signed shall be returned to the applicant for recording with the County Register.
C.
Following the filing of any approved subdivision plat or minor subdivision deed with the County Register, the applicant shall promptly deliver to the Board Administrator at least six copies of the filed plat or recorded deed, as the case may be. The Board Secretary shall then distribute copies of the same.
D.
Whenever any subdivision is to be perfected by the filing of the approved plat with the County Register, and when the engineering review of such subdivision has been performed by the Board Engineer, the plat intended for recording shall be signed by the Board Engineer. For purposes of such signatures as the municipal engineer, the Board Engineer shall be deemed to act as an Assistant City Engineer.
E.
The Board Administrator shall return in the Board's files at least one true copy of all signed and approved site plans and subdivision deeds and all signed, approved and filed subdivision plats.
§ 175-24 Checklists and applications. [1]
