Union Township City Zoning Code

§ 30-15.5

Effect of Preliminary Approval.

[Ord. No. 85-9, § 1504; Ord. No. 2005-8, § 1]
Preliminary approval of a site plan shall, except for extensions provided for in this chapter, confer upon the applicant the following rights for a three-year period from the date of the preliminary approval:
a. 
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 size; yard dimensions and on-site and off-tract improvements; and any requirements peculiar to the specific site plan. The Township may modify by ordinance such general terms and conditions of a preliminary approval as they may relate to public health and safety, provided such modifications are in accord with amendments adopted by ordinance subsequent to approval.
b. 
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 site plan.
c. 
In the event that an application for final site plan approval, whether for a major site plan or minor site plan, as provided for in N.J.S.A. 40:55d-50 is not submitted within the three-year period set forth above, or within the time period of any extension granted pursuant to § 30-15.6, then and in that event, no application for final site plan approval will be accepted and the preliminary site plan approval shall be deemed to have lapsed, shall be void and shall have no further effect.
