Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 5:21-1.3
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) It is the intent and purpose of these rules:
1.
To reduce the multiplicity of standards for residential subdivisions and site
improvements which currently exists in this State in order to eliminate
unnecessary increases in the cost of housing where there are noncommensurate
gains in the protection of public health and safety;
2. To avoid unnecessary cost in the
construction process, and to provide site improvement standards that are both
sound and cost effective;
3. To
ensure predictability in the site improvement standards applicable to
residential construction;
4. To
provide for development reviews of residential projects that are based, to the
greatest extent possible, upon sound objective site improvement standards
rather than upon discretionary design standards;
5. To streamline the development approval
process and improve the efficiency of the application process by providing a
uniform set of technical site improvement standards for land
development;
6. To provide the
widest possible range of design freedom and promote diversity through
performance-oriented site improvement standards; and
7. To separate the policy-making aspects of
development review from the making of technical determinations.
