§ 13:17-14.
(a) Each application for a subdivision, site plan or building permit shall be submitted
to the commission for review and, where required, approval prior to approval by the
local constituent municipal approving authority. Commission approval of any subdivision application shall be limited by and based
upon the rules, regulations and standards established by and duly set forth in a resolution
adopted by the commission. The constituent municipal approval authority shall defer taking final action on
a subdivision application until receipt of the commission report thereon. The commission shall report to the municipal authority within 45 days from the date
of receipt of the application. If the commission fails to report to the municipal approving authority within the
45-day period, said subdivision application shall be deemed to have been approved
by the commission unless, by mutual agreement between the commission and municipal
approving authority, with approval of the applicant, the 45-day period shall be extended
for an additional 45-day period, and any such extension shall so extend the time within
which a municipal approving authority shall be required by law to act thereon. (b) The commission shall review each subdivision plan and building permit application
and withhold approval if said application does not meet the approval standards previously
adopted by the commission, in accordance with this section. In the event of the withholding of approval, or the disapproval of, any such application,
the reasons for such action shall be set forth in writing and a copy thereof shall
be transmitted to the applicant.
