Prior to the issuance of a building permit or certificate of occupancy for any new structure or use, change, addition or alteration in structure or use, construction of or addition to a parking lot or use of vacant land as a parking lot, change in use of any nonresidential use, or for any new structure or use, a site plan shall be reviewed, approved or waived as hereinafter provided by the Approving Authority. Single detached one-family or two-family dwellings used exclusively as residences and accessory uses incidental to that one- or two-family dwelling are specifically excluded from the site plan requirement.

The Approving Authority way waive certain site plan content requirements if the proposed construction or alteration or change of occupancy or use does not affect existing circulation, drainage, relationship of buildings to each other, landscaping, buffering, lighting or other considerations of site plan review, and further provided that all requirements of the zoning regulations are met. The Approving Authority may waive the requirement for notice and a public hearing for a minor site plan, at its discretion on any application.
