A 3546 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Modifies requirements for preliminary site plans and subdivisions under Municipal Land Use Law.

This bill modifies New Jersey's Municipal Land Use Law to streamline preliminary site plan reviews for development projects. It requires that preliminary reviews focus only on the layout of buildings, streets, parking, and basic zoning compliance (such as density and height), excluding detailed engineering elements like stormwater plans, grading, landscaping, or architectural designs. Developers will now submit only tentative site plans and supporting documents for this initial stage, reducing upfront documentation requirements. The change applies to all New Jersey municipalities using the Municipal Land Use Law and aims to speed up early-stage approvals.
