Scotch Plains City Zoning Code

§ 23-8.10

Ongoing Collection of Fees.

The ability for the Township of Scotch Plains to impose, collect and expend development fees shall expire with its substantive certification unless the Township of Scotch Plains has filed an adopted Housing Element and Fair Share Plan with the court, has petitioned for substantive certification, and has received the court's approval of its development fee ordinance. If the Township of Scotch Plains fails to renew its ability to impose and collect development fees prior to the expiration of substantive certification, it may be subject to forfeiture of any or all funds remaining within its municipal trust fund. Any funds so forfeited shall be deposited into the New Jersey Affordable Housing Trust Fund established pursuant to Section 20 of P.L. 1985, c.222 (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-320). The Township of Scotch Plains shall not impose a residential development fee on a development that receives preliminary or final site plan approval after the expiration of its substantive certification or judgment of compliance, nor shall the Township of Scotch Plains retroactively impose a development fee on such a development.
