Pinelands development credits may be allocated to certain properties in the Township by the Pinelands Commission pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:50-4.61 et seq.

No conveyance, sale, or transfer of Pinelands development credits shall occur until the municipality with jurisdiction over the parcel of land from which the Pinelands development credits were obtained, the agency or organization to which the restriction is in favor, and the Pinelands Commission have been provided with evidence of recordation of a restriction on the deed to the land from which the development credits were obtained.

Such deed restriction shall specify the number of Pinelands development credits sold and that the property may only be used in perpetuity for the following uses:

No development involving the use of Pinelands development credits shall be approved until the developer has provided the Pinelands Commission and the Township with evidence of his/her ownership of the requisite Pinelands development credits; provided, however, that the Township may grant preliminary subdivision or site plan approval conditioned upon such evidence being presented as a prerequisite to final subdivision or site plan approval. For such a final subdivision or site plan, the developer shall provide evidence of Pinelands development credit ownership to secure the same proportion of lots or residential units as was approved for Pinelands development credit use in the preliminary approval. Notification of any such preliminary or final approval shall be made to the Pinelands Commission pursuant to § 410-101A and to the New Jersey Pinelands development credit bank in accordance with N.J.A.C. 3:42.3. Redemption of Pinelands development credits shall thereafter be accomplished in accordance with N.J.A.C. 3:42.3.6.

Consideration by approving agency. The approving agency shall consider the proposed conditional use permit from the point of view of the standards and purpose of the regulations governing planning retirement communities so as to achieve a maximum coordination between the proposed development and the surrounding uses, including the preservation of natural areas and landscape features and the proposed circulation into and on the site and other feature as will contribute to the orderly and harmonious development of the area and for conformance with the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Ocean Township.

The approving agency shall attach such conditions as permitted by law to any approval of a conditional use permit allowing a planned retirement community as it may deem necessary to insure at no cost to the Township; proper disposal of waste, garbage, trash, junk and other unhealthful accumulations; construction and maintenance of roads and grounds; snow removal; and payment for streetlighting; assurance of right of ingress and egress by police, health, fire inspecting officials and other officials of the Township. The approving agency shall require covenants to be filed by the applicant prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.

The covenants and restrictions and bylaws and any amendments thereto shall be filed with the Township Clerk.

The applicant shall also submit an environmental (assessment) impact statement of the possible impact of the project on the site.

Public hearing. Within the time provided by law and subsequent to the applicant giving proper notice pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:55D-11 and N.J.S.A. 40:55D-12, a public hearing on such application shall be heard by the approving agency.

The final approved conditional use permit shall assure the applicant that the tract of land forming the subject matter of the application may be developed as a planned retirement community within the general framework of the document submitted and the condition imposed.

Validity. A conditional use permit approved in accordance with these regulations shall expire as of the time limit set forth in an approving resolution, as specified in Subsection J(5) of this section. Should the resolution fail to set such time limit, the conditional use permit shall remain valid for a period of one year following final approval by the Township approving agency. If at the end of that time, no application for preliminary site plan or subdivision for the project has been filed, then the conditional use permit plan shall be considered as having lapsed and shall be of no effect unless resubmitted for approval as a planned retirement community as hereinabove provided. Extensions may be granted in the discretion of the approving agency.

The granting of a conditional use permit shall allow the applicant to provide for an application of a preliminary site plan or preliminary subdivision approval. Nothing in this section shall preclude an applicant from making a request for preliminary or final approval in sections less than the total project as long as the applicant submits a master storm drainage plan for the entire project with the first preliminary application for a section. Should an applicant choose to make application for preliminary or final in sections, the conditional use permit validity and the preliminary approval shall continue for one year from the date of the last approval of a preliminary or final application for a section. Nothing in this subsection shall prevent the applicant from submitting the information required for final approval in two stages. The first stage being the overall plan and the profile storm sewer design and fire hydrant layout, which plans shall be submitted to the approving agency in accordance with the above requirement. Following approval by the approving agency of these plans, the applicant then may construct such site improvement and utilities, providing that the inspection fees have been deposited with the Township, and may thereafter submit portions of the plan with actual units to be constructed, showing the driveways, units, sidewalks, finished floor grades and proposed grading of land around the buildings. Such plan shall also be submitted to the approving agency in accordance with the above requirements. No building permits will be issued until the second plan, showing the actual units to be constructed has been approved. Should the applicant choose a two-stage final application approval, it shall submit the full requisite final inspection fee. These conditions shall include but not be limited to the requirement that the covenants and restrictions provided for the foregoing services and further that these covenants and restrictions shall insure the benefit of the Township.
