Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) This subchapter shall be known, and may
				  be referred to as, the Floodplain Management Regulations of the Hackensack
				  Meadowlands District.
(b) The flood
				  hazard areas of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority are subject to
				  periodic inundation, which results in loss of life and property, health and
				  safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary
				  public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax
				  base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and general
				  welfare. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions
				  in areas of special flood hazard, which increase flood heights and velocities,
				  and when inadequately anchored, causes damage in other areas. Uses that are
				  inadequately floodproofed, elevated, or otherwise protected from flood damage
				  also contribute to the flood loss.
New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 19 - OTHER AGENCIES › NEW JERSEY MEADOWLANDS COMMISSION › Chapter 4 - DISTRICT ZONING REGULATIONS › Subchapter 9 - FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT › Section 19:4-9.2 - Purposes

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
This subchapter sets forth procedures and engineering and
					 planning standards in accordance with which the NJSEA shall review and approve
					 or disapprove applications for the development or use of land within the
					 District. This subchapter is designed to promote the public health, safety, and
					 general welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood
					 conditions in specific areas by provisions designed: to protect human life and
					 health; to minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control
					 projects; to minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with
					 flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public; to
					 minimize prolonged business interruptions; to minimize damage to new and
					 existing construction; to minimize damage to public and private facilities and
					 utilities, such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone, and sewer lines,
					 streets, and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard; to help maintain
					 a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of areas of
					 special flood hazard, so as to minimize future flood blight areas; to ensure
					 that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of special flood
					 hazard; to ensure that those who own or occupy the areas of special flood
					 hazard assume responsibility for their actions; and generally to provide for
					 the exercise of the powers regarding the review and regulation of land use and
					 development conferred upon the NJSEA by
					 P.L.
					 2015, c. 19. In order
					 to accomplish its purpose, this subchapter includes methods and provisions for:
					 restricting or prohibiting uses that are dangerous to health, safety, and
					 property due to water or erosion hazards, or that result in damaging increases
					 in erosion, flood heights, or velocities; requiring that uses vulnerable to
					 floods, including facilities that serve such uses, be protected against flood
					 damage at the time of initial construction; controlling the alteration of
					 natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers that help
					 accommodate or channel flood waters; controlling filling, grading, dredging,
					 and other development that may increase flood damage; and preventing or
					 regulating the construction of flood barriers that will unnaturally divert
					 flood waters or that may increase flood hazards in other
					 areas.

1. The danger that materials may be swept
				  onto other lands, to the injury of others;
2. The danger to life and property due to
				  flooding or erosion damage;
3. The
				  susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and

4. The importance of the services provided by
				  the proposed facility to the community;
5. The necessity to the facility of a
				  waterfront location, where applicable;
6. The availability of alternative locations
				  for the proposed use that are not subject to flooding or erosion
				  damage;
7. The compatibility of the
				  proposed use with existing and anticipated development;
8. The relationship of the proposed use to
				  the comprehensive plan and floodplain management program of that
				  area;
9. The safety of access to

				  considered.
(b) Variances may be
				  issued for the repair or rehabilitation of historic structures upon a
				  determination that the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the
				  structure's continued designation as a historic structure and the variance is
				  the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the
				  structure.
(c) Variances shall not
				  be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood levels during
				  the base flood discharge would result.
(d) Variances shall only be issued upon a
				  determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood
				  hazard, to afford relief.
(e)
				  Variances shall only be issued upon:
1. A
				  showing of good and sufficient cause;
2. A determination that failure to grant the
				  variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant; and
3. A determination that the granting of a
				  variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to
				  public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on
				  or victimization of the public as identified in
				  19:4-9.1 4(a) or conflict with
				  existing local laws or ordinances.

				  Encroachments in floodways, including new fill, new construction, substantial
				  improvements, and other development, are prohibited, unless a technical
				  evaluation demonstrates that encroachment shall not result in any increase in
				  flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
2. If (a)1 above is satisfied, all new
				  construction and substantial improvements shall comply with this
				  subchapter.
3. In all areas of
				  special flood hazard in which base flood elevation data has been provided and a
				  floodway has been designated, the cumulative effect of any proposed
				  development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated development,
				  shall not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than
