Extends time period required for public notice of certain land use applications.

S 857 extends the required public notice period for certain land use applications from 10 to 21 days before hearings. It applies to major developments like subdivisions, site plans, and outdoor advertising signs on public land, affecting developers and municipalities handling approvals. Applicants must publish notices in local newspapers and provide written notice to property owners within 200 feet of the project site. This change modifies existing notice requirements under New Jersey's land use law (P.L.1975, c.291) without altering application eligibility or exceptions.
