Requires developer to submit stormwater impact study as part of application for planned development site plan approval.
This bill requires developers seeking approval for planned development site plans to submit a stormwater impact study as part of their application. The study, conducted by an independent consultant agreed upon by both the developer and local planning board, must evaluate pre- and post-development stormwater runoff, downstream flood risks, and potential mitigation strategies. It applies specifically to planned developments - including residential, commercial, or industrial projects - under New Jersey's Municipal Land Use Law. The change ensures developers assess environmental impacts early in the approval process, without altering existing timelines for site plan reviews.
