The purpose of this section is to set forth improvement standards and construction specifications for developments. Where a standard in this section is referenced as a requirement by Section 22-5, Zone District Regulations, or by Section 22-6, Conditional Uses, or by Section 22-7, General Zoning Provisions, then a deviation from the specified standard shall only be permitted when a variance is granted pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70. In all other cases, relief may only be authorized as an exception to subdivision or site plan regulations pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-51.

A subdivision and/or site plan shall conform to standards that will result in a well-planned community, protect the health and safety of the residents, and provide a desirable living environment without unnecessarily adding to development costs. The following improvements shall be required: streets and circulation, off-street parking, water supply, sanitary sewers, and storm water management.
