The developer at any such meeting may bring his or her engineer, attorney or other professional for assistance in his or her presentation.
At such meeting, the Initial Site Plan Review Committee shall go over any Township Code requirements that may apply to the developer's concept for the purpose of facilitating the ultimate site plan review by the Planning Board.
Any such request must be in writing and accompanied by an escrow deposit of $1,000, billed against at the hourly rates of all applicable professionals, as posted by the Township Administrator.
Site plan review and approval shall be required before any change of use or before any excavation, removal of soil, clearing of a site or placing of any fill on lands contemplated for development, and except as hereinafter provided, no building permit shall be issued for any building or use or reduction or enlargement in size or other alteration of any building or change in use of any building, including accessory structures, unless a site plan is first submitted and approved by the reviewing board, and no certificate of occupancy shall be given unless all construction and development conform to the plans as approved by the reviewing board.
Site plan approval shall not be required for any detached one- or two-dwelling-unit buildings or any uses accessory thereto, such as a private garage or storage shed incidental to residential uses; but this shall not limit the requirements for submission and approval or subdivision plats as otherwise required by municipal ordinances.
The reviewing board may waive site plan approval requirements if the construction or alteration or change of occupancy or use does not affect existing circulation, drainage, relationship of buildings to each other, landscaping, buffering, lighting and other considerations of site plan review.
Pedestrian and vehicular traffic movement within and adjacent to the site shall be considered with particular emphasis on the provision and layout of parking areas, off-street loading and unloading and movement of people, goods and vehicles from access roads, within the site, between buildings and between buildings and vehicles. The Planning Board shall ensure that all parking spaces are usable and are safely and conveniently arranged. Access to the site from adjacent roads shall be designed so as to interfere as little as possible with traffic flow on these roads and to permit vehicles a rapid and safe ingress and egress to the site.
The design and layout of buildings and parking areas shall be reviewed so as to provide an aesthetically pleasing design and efficient arrangement. Particular attention shall be given to safety and fire protection, impact on surrounding development and contiguous and adjacent buildings and lands.
Adequate lighting shall be provided to ensure safe movement of persons and vehicles and for security purposes. Lighting standards shall be a type approved by the Planning Board. Directional lights shall be arranged so as to minimize glare reflection and ambient light on adjacent properties.
Buffering shall be located around the perimeter of the site to minimize headlights of vehicles, noise, light from structures and the movement of people and vehicles and to shield activities from adjacent properties when necessary. Buffering may consist of fencing, evergreens, shrubs, bushes, deciduous trees or combinations thereof to achieve the stated objectives.
Landscaping shall be provided as part of the overall site plan design and integrated into building arrangements, topography, parking and buffering requirements. Landscaping shall include trees, bushes, shrubs, ground cover, perennials, annuals, plants, sculpture, art and the use of building and paving materials in an imaginative manner.
Signs shall be designed so as to be aesthetically pleasing, harmonious with other signs on the site and located so as to achieve their purpose without constituting hazards to vehicles and pedestrians.
Storm drainage, sanitary waste disposal, water supply and garbage disposal shall be reviewed and considered. Particular emphasis shall be given to the adequacy of existing systems and the need for improvements, both on-site and off-site, to adequately carry runoff and sewage and to maintain an adequate supply of water at sufficient pressure.
Garbage disposal shall be adequate to ensure freedom from vermin and rodent infestation. All disposal systems shall meet municipal specifications as to installation and construction.
Environmental elements relating to soil erosion, preservation of trees, protection of watercourses and resources, noise, topography, soil and animal life shall be reviewed and the design of the plan shall minimize any adverse impact on these elements.
Such other information as the reviewing board shall deem necessary in order for it to make a determination pursuant to statutes and ordinances.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 28, P.L. 1975, c. 291 (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-37), approval of subdivision plats by resolution of the Planning Board shall be required as a condition for the filing of such plats with the county recording officer. Approval of site plans by resolution of the Planning Board shall be required as a condition for the issuance of a building permit and certificate of occupancy for any development, except that subdivision or individual lot applications for detached one- or two-dwelling-unit buildings shall be exempt from such site plan review and approval, provided that the resolution of the Board of Adjustment shall substitute for that of the Planning Board whenever the Board of Adjustment has jurisdiction over a subdivision or site plan pursuant to applicable ordinances of the Township of Riverside.

A letter from the Township Engineer stating that any completed improvements have been installed to his specifications and its performance guaranty is adequate to cover the cost of any remaining improvements.
A letter from the applicant's engineer stating that the final plan conforms to the preliminary plan as submitted and approved.
In addition to the fees required above, the developer shall also pay all reasonably necessary inspection fees in connection with the construction of any improvements required under this chapter as may from time to time be established by resolution of the governing body. Such fee shall be paid to the Township Engineer or other inspecting official unless otherwise directed by the reviewing board.
The developer may at his option submit a final site plan in stages to include only a portion of the original preliminary site plan. Approval of the final site plan for a section shall not extend the time limit of preliminary approval for the remaining sections.
The reviewing board shall ensure that any improvements required for the site plan as a whole, which might have an adverse effect on an approved section if the remaining sections were not completed, shall be installed as a condition of approval for any section. This shall include but not be limited to open space, recreation, soil and erosion control and similar improvements.
Before approving a subdivision or site plan, the approving authority shall require that streets, public drainageways, flood control basins and public areas, designated for reservations on the Master Plan, must be shown on the plat in locations and sizes suitable to their intended uses. The approving authority may reserve the location and extent of such streets, ways, basins or areas shown on the plat for a period of up to one year after the approval of the final plat or within such further time as may be agreed to by the developer. Unless during such period or extension thereof the Township shall have entered into a contract to purchase or institute condemnation proceedings according to law for the fee or a lesser interest in the land comprising such streets, ways, basins or areas, the developer shall not be bound by such reservations shown on the plat and may proceed to use such land for private use in accordance with applicable development regulations. The provisions of this section shall not apply to streets and roads, flood control basins or public drainageways necessitated by the subdivision or land development and required for final approval.
Upon the submissions to the approving authority of an application for development showing development proposed for an area reserved on the Master Plan, the Secretary of the approving authority shall notify the Township Committee of Riverside, in writing, of such application and that the approving authority intends to grant approval for said development in the reserved area unless the Township Committee notifies the approving authority prior to the date for final approval that it intends to reserve the area in question and will provide compensation to the developer for such reservation. Said notice of intent to reserve shall be in the form of a resolution by the Township Committee. The Township Committee shall thereupon proceed either to reach an agreement with the developer as to the amount of compensation to be paid for such reservation or negotiate a purchase price for said reserved area. Upon the Township Committee arriving at the amount to be paid the developer by way of compensation for reservation or purchase, said amount shall be deposited in escrow for the benefit of the developer.
The approving authority shall require, as a condition of preliminary subdivision or site plan approval, that the developer pay his pro rata share of the cost of providing only reasonable and necessary street improvements and water, sewerage and drainage facilities and easements therefor located outside the property limits of the development but necessitated or required by construction or improvements within such development. The developer shall either install the improvements or contribute his pro rata share of the costs, at the option of the developer. If the developer installs the improvements, he shall be compensated by the Township for all but his pro rata share of the cost of the improvement.
Contributions for off-tract, water, sewer, drainage and street improvements. Whenever an application for development requires off-tract, water, sewer, drainage, street, the developer, as a condition for approval of the subdivision or site plan, shall pay his pro rata share of the cost of providing reasonable and necessary street improvements, water, sewer, drainage facilities and easements therefor, located outside city limits of subdivision or development but necessary or required by construction or improvement within such subdivision or development based upon the circulation and comprehensive utilities service plan set forth in the Master Plan of the Township of Riverside. This standard for determining the pro rata amount or proportionate amount of the cost of such facilities that shall be borne by each developer or owner within a related or common area shall be fair and reasonable and shall not be altered before preliminary approval.
Upon the submission to the Secretary of the Planning Board of a complete application for a site plan for 10 acres of land or less, the Planning Board shall grant or deny preliminary approval within 45 days of the date of such submission or within such further time as may be consented to by the developer, except that if the application for site plan approval also involves an application for relief pursuant to Chapter 64, Planning Board, the Planning Board shall grant or deny preliminary approval within 95 days of the date of the submission of a complete application to the Secretary of the Planning Board or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant.
Upon the submission of a complete application for a site plan of more than 10 acres or for a conditional use approval, the Planning Board shall grant or deny preliminary approval of the site plan and/or approval of the conditional use within 95 days of the date of such submission or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant.
Upon the submission to the Secretary of the Planning Board of a complete application for a subdivision of 10 or fewer lots, other than a minor subdivision as defined in § 231-2 of this chapter, the Planning Board shall grant or deny preliminary approval within 45 days of the date of such submission or within such further time as may be consented to by the developer, except that if the application for subdivision approval also involves an application for relief, the Planning Board shall grant or deny preliminary approval within 95 days of the date of submission of a complete application to the Secretary of the Planning Board or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant.
Upon the submission of a complete application for a subdivision of more than 10 lots, the Planning Board shall grant or deny preliminary approval within 95 days of the date of such submission or within such further time as may be consented to by the developer.
Failure of the Planning Board to reach a decision within the specified time periods or extension thereof shall result in the approval of the subdivision and/or site plan and/or conditional use as submitted.
The Planning Board may waive site plan approval requirements if the construction or alteration or change of occupancy or use does not affect existing circulation, drainage, relationships of buildings to each other, landscaping, buffering, lighting and other considerations of site plan review.
If the Planning Board requires any substantial amendment in the layout of improvements proposed by the developer that have been the subject of a hearing, an amended application for development shall be submitted and proceeded upon, as in the case of the original application for development. The Planning Board shall, if the proposed development complies with this chapter, grant preliminary subdivision or site plan approval.
Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the right of a developer to submit a sketch plat to the Planning Board for informal review, and neither the Planning Board nor the developer shall be bound by any discussions or statements made during such review, provided that the right of the developer at any time to submit a complete application for subdivision or site plan approval shall not be limited by his submission of a sketch plat and the time for the Planning Board's decision shall not begin to run until the submission of a complete application.
A public hearing shall be held on all applications for site plan approval involving uses which, on the submitted complete application for preliminary approval, show four more off-street parking spaces. A public hearing is not required for all other site plan applications.
That the applicant may apply for and the reviewing board may grant extensions on such preliminary approval for additional periods of at least one year but not to exceed a total extension of two years, provided that if the design standards have been revised by ordinance, such revised standards may govern.
provided that in the case of a planned development, the reviewing board may permit minimal deviation from the conditions of preliminary approval necessitated by change of condition beyond the control of the developer since the date of preliminary approval without the developer being required to submit another application for development for preliminary approval.
Final approval shall be granted or denied within 45 days after submission of a complete application to the Secretary of the approving authority or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. Failure of the approving authority to act within the period prescribed shall constitute final approval of the application for the final approval as submitted, and a certificate of the Secretary of the approving authority as to failure of the approving authority to act shall be issued on request of the applicant, and it shall be sufficient in lieu of the written endorsement or other required evidence of approval.
The approving authority, when acting upon applications for preliminary or minor subdivision approval, shall have the power to grant such exceptions from the requirements for subdivision approval as may be reasonable and within the general purpose and intent of the provisions for subdivision review and approval of this chapter if the literal enforcement of one or more provisions of this chapter is impracticable or will exact undue hardship because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question.
The approving authority, when acting upon application for preliminary site plan approval, shall have the power to grant such exceptions from the requirements for site plan approval as may be reasonable and within the general purpose and intent of this chapter if the literal enforcement of one or more provisions of this chapter is impracticable or will exact undue hardship because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question.
The approving authority shall have the power to review and approve or deny conditional uses or site plans simultaneously with review for subdivision approval without the developer being required to make further application to the approving authority or the approving authority being required to hold further hearings. The longest time period for action by the approving authority, whether it is for subdivision, conditional use or site plan approval, shall apply. Whenever approval of a conditional use is requested by the developer pursuant to this subsection, notice of the hearing on the plat shall include reference to the request for such conditional use.
The zoning requirements applicable to the preliminary approval first granted and all other rights conferred upon the developer pursuant to § 231-11 of this chapter, whether conditionally or otherwise, shall not be changed for a period of two years after the date of final approval, provided that in the case of major subdivision the rights conferred by this section shall expire if the plat has not been duly recorded within the time period provided in § 231-17 of this chapter. If the developer has followed the standards prescribed for final approval and, in the case of a subdivision, has duly recorded the plat as required in § 231-17 of this chapter, the approving authority may extend such period of protection for extensions of one year, but not to exceed three extensions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the granting of final approval terminates the time period of preliminary approval pursuant to § 231-17 of this chapter for the section granted final approval.
The furnishing of a performance guaranty in favor of the Township in an amount not to exceed 120% of the cost of installation for improvements it may deem necessary or appropriate, including streets, grading, pavement, gutters, curbs, sidewalks, streetlighting, shade trees, surveyor's monuments, as shown on the final map and required by the Map Filing Law, P.L. 1960, c. 141 (N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq.), water mains, culverts, storm sewers, sanitary sewers or other means of sewage sewers or other means of sewage disposal, drainage structure, erosion control and sedimentation control devices, public improvements of open space and, in the case of site plans only, other on-site improvements and landscaping, provided that no more than 10% of the total performance guaranty shall be required to be in cash, and the balance shall be in the form of a bond from a bonding company approved by the Township Committee. The Township Engineer shall review the improvements required by the approving authority which are to be bonded and itemize their cost. Said itemization shall be the basis for determining the amount of performance guaranty and maintenance guaranty required by the approving authority. The Township Engineer shall forward his estimate of the cost of improvements to the applicant within 30 days of the date of receipt of a request sent by certified mail for said estimate.
The furnishing of a maintenance guaranty to be posted with the Township Committee for a period not to exceed two years after final acceptance of the improvement, in an amount not to exceed 15% of the cost of the improvement. In the event that other governmental agencies or public utilities automatically will own the utilities to be installed or the improvements are covered by a performance or maintenance guaranty to another governmental agency, no performance or maintenance guaranty, as the case may be, shall be required for such utilities or improvements.
The amount of any performance guaranty may be reduced by the Township Committee by resolution, when portions of the improvements have been certified by the Township Engineer to have been completed. The time allowed for installation of the improvements for which the performance guaranty has been provided may be established by the Township Committee by resolution.
If the required improvements are not completed or corrected in accordance with the performance guaranty, the obligor and surety, if any, shall be liable thereon to the Township for the reasonable cost of the improvements not completed or corrected, and the Township may either prior to or after the receipt of the proceeds thereof complete such improvements.
When all of the required improvements have been completed, the obligor shall notify the Township Committee, in writing, by certified mail addressed in care of the Township Clerk, of the completion of said improvements and shall send a copy thereof to the Township Engineer. Thereupon the Township Engineer shall inspect all of the improvements and shall file a detailed report, in writing, with the Township Committee, indicating either approval, partial approval or rejection of the improvements with a statement of reasons for any rejection. If partial approval is indicated, the cost of the improvements rejected shall be set forth.
The Township Committee shall either approve, partially approve or reject the improvements on the basis of the report of the Township Engineer and shall notify the obligor in writing, by certified mail, of the contents of said report and the action of said approving authority with relation thereto not later than 65 days after receipt of the notice from the obligor of the completion of the improvements. Where partial approval is granted, the obligor shall be released from all liability pursuant to its performance guaranty, except for the improvements not yet approved. Failure of the Township Committee to send or provide such notification to the obligor within 65 days shall be deemed to constitute approval of the improvements, and the obligor and surety, if any, shall be released from all liability pursuant to such performance guaranty.
The obligor shall reimburse the Township for all reasonable inspection fees paid the Township Engineer for the foregoing inspection of improvements.
The Planning Board shall waive notice and public hearing for an application for development if the Board finds that the application for development conforms to the definition of "minor subdivisions" as set forth in this chapter. Minor subdivision approval shall be deemed to be final approval of the subdivision by the Board, provided that the Board or said subcommittee may condition such approval on terms ensuring the provision of improvements as set forth in applicable ordinances.
Minor subdivision approval shall be granted or denied within 45 days of the date of submission of a complete application to the Secretary of the Planning Board or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. Failure of the Planning Board to act within the period prescribed shall constitute minor subdivision approval, and a certificate of the Secretary of the Planning Board as to the failure of the Planning Board to act shall be issued on request of the applicant; and it shall be sufficient in lieu of the written endorsement of other evidence of approval herein required and shall be so accepted by the county recording officer for purposes of filing subdivision plats.
or a deed clearly describing the approved minor subdivision is filed by the developer with the county recording officer, the Municipal Engineer and the Municipal Tax Assessor. Any such plat or deed accepted for such filing shall have been signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the Planning Board. In reviewing the application for development for a proposed minor subdivision, the Planning Board may accept a plat not in conformity with the Map Filing Law, provided that if the developer chooses to file the minor subdivision as provided herein by plat rather than deed, such plat shall conform with the provisions of said act.
The zoning requirements and general terms andconditions, conditional or otherwise, upon which minor subdivision approval was granted shall not be changed for a period of two years after the date of minor subdivision approval, provided that the approved minor subdivision shall have been duly recorded as provided herein.
Final approval major subdivision shall expire 95 days from the date of signing of the plat unless within such period the plat shall have been duly filed by the developer with the county recording officer. The approving authority may for good cause shown extend the period for recording for an additional period not to exceed 190 days from the date of signing of the plat.
Final approval of a major subdivision shall be evidenced by affixing to the plat the signature of the Chairman and Secretary of the approving authority or a copy of the certificate of the Secretary of the approving authority indicating that the approving authority failed to reach a decision on the subdivision application within the prescribed time. The signatures of the Chairman and Secretary of the approving authority shall not be affixed until the developer has posted the guaranties required pursuant to § 231-15 of this chapter.
If, before final subdivision approval has been granted, any person transfers or sells or agrees to transfer or sell, except pursuant to an agreement expressly conditioned on final subdivision approval, as owner or agent any land which forms a part of a subdivision for which Township approval is required by this chapter, such person shall be subject to a penalty not to exceed $1,000, and each lot disposition so made may be deemed a separate violation.
To set aside and invalidate any conveyance made pursuant to such a contract of sale.
The prospective purchases, prospective mortgages or any other person interested in any land which forms part of a subdivision or which formed part of such a subdivision three years preceding August 1, 1979, may apply, in writing, to the Township Clerk for the issuance of a certificate certifying whether or not such subdivision has been approved by the Planning Board. Such application shall contain a diagram showing the location and dimension of the land to be covered by the certificate and the name of the owner thereof.
The Township Clerk shall make and issue such certificate within 15 days after the receipt of such written application and the fees therefor. Said officer shall keep a duplicate copy of each certificate, consecutively numbered, including a statement of the fee charged, in a binder as a permanent record of his or her office.
That there exists in the Township of Riverside a duly established Planning Board and that there is an ordinance controlling subdivision of land adopted under the authority of the Municipal Land Use Law of 1975, c. 291.
Whether the subdivision, as it relates to the land shown in said application, has been approved by the Planning Board and, if so, the date of such approval and any extensions and terms thereof, showing that subdivision of which the lands are a part is a validly existing subdivision.
The Township Clerk shall be entitled to demand and receive for such certificate issued by him a reasonable fee not in excess of those provided in N.J.S.A. 54:5-14 and 54:5-15. The fees so collected by the Township Clerk shall be paid by him or her to the Township.
Failure to comply with any of the conditions of site plan approval subsequent to the receipt of a building permit, zoning permit or certificate of occupancy, as the case may be, shall be grounds for the revocation of any building permit, zoning permit or certificate of occupancy, as the case may be. A written notice of revocation sent by certified mail by the Zoning Officer or Building Inspector, as the case may be, shall specify the conditions of site plan approval which have been violated, and such revocation shall effectively terminate the validity of any building permit, zoning permit or certificate of occupancy theretofore issued.
Any person, firm or corporation violating any provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof before a court of competent jurisdiction, be subject to one or more of the following: a fine not exceeding $1,000; a term of imprisonment not exceeding 90 days; or a period of community service not exceeding 90 days.
