A 3056 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Revises permitting thresholds for certain types of development requiring CAFRA permit from DEP.

This bill amends New Jersey's Coastal Area Facility Review Act (CAFRA) by expanding which municipalities require a CAFRA permit for certain coastal developments. It adds cities of the fourth class ranked in the top 2% of the Department of Community Affairs' 2020 Municipal Revitalization Index to the list of qualifying municipalities subject to existing permit thresholds. Development in these cities now triggers CAFRA review for projects meeting specific size criteria (e.g., 75+ residential units or 150+ commercial parking spaces), mirroring requirements for larger cities or designated qualifying municipalities. The change applies to development beyond 500 feet from the water's edge.
