Clarifies that application to collocate wireless communications equipment be reviewed by administrative officer.
This bill clarifies that applications to add wireless equipment (such as cell antennas) to existing structures must be reviewed and approved by a municipal administrative officer, not by a planning board or land use committee. It sets a 30-day deadline for the administrative officer to act on collocation applications, with automatic approval if the deadline passes. The approved zoning permit for collocation then satisfies requirements for all other permits, like building or electrical, eliminating redundant reviews. This applies to all New Jersey municipalities and primarily affects wireless companies seeking to expand their infrastructure.
