West Orange City Zoning Code
§ 25-13.1
General Provisions.
[Ord. No. 2357-12 § 25-13.1]
The environmental impact generated by a land development project necessitates a comprehensive analysis of the variety of problems that may result and the actions that can be taken to minimize those problems. This constitutes an environmental impact statement. In evaluating the environmental impact, the Planning Board and the Zoning Board shall not approve any submission until it determines and finds that the proposed development:
a.
Will not result in appreciable harmful effects to the environment.
b.
Has been designed and conceived with a view toward the protection of the regional resources.
c.
Will not place a disproportionate or excessive demand upon the total resources available for such proposal and for any future proposals.
In order to accomplish these goals, the Board shall condition any approval upon the implementation of those performance controls deemed necessary to assure the protection of the environment. Any approval shall also be conditioned upon the receipt of licenses, permits or other approvals required by law. Those factors outlined in Subsection 25-13.4e along with supplemental requirements adopted by the Board shall be used to determine the environmental performance controls that are necessary.
