2.
The Secretary of the Planning Board shall immediately distribute copies of the plans and application as follows:

Such additional approvals include, but are not limited to:

New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for Coastal Area Facilities Review Permit (N.J.S.A. 13:19-1, et seq.).

Within 45 days after the developer has submitted a complete application, a public hearing for final approval shall be held by the Planning Board (Zoning Board) in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-10 as amended. In the Pinelands Area, the applicant shall notify the Pinelands Commission in accordance with subsection 26-65.4a (Notices to the Pinelands Commission). The Planning Board (Zoning Board) may continue the hearing provided, however, that in any event, the Planning Board (Zoning Board) concludes the public hearing(s) and acts on the application 45 days after the date of its proper submission or within such further time as may be consented to by the developer, or as may be provided by law.
c.
Findings of the Public Hearing. Following the conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning Board (Zoning Board) by written resolution, shall take action on the application in one of the following ways:
1.
The Planning Board (Zoning Board) may grant final approval to the plan as submitted;
2.
The Planning Board (Zoning Board) may deny approval; or
3.
If the developer proposes major revisions to the approved preliminary plan, the Planning Board (Zoning Board) shall request an amended application which shall be submitted and proceeded upon as in the case of the original preliminary application for development.
4.
In the Pinelands Area, the approval granted by the Planning Board (Zoning Board), in subsection 26-61.5c, 1 or 2 shall not take effect and no development shall be carried out until the provisions of subsection 26-65.4b (Notices to the Pinelands Commission) and 26-65.5 (Review by Pinelands Commission) have been met.
