Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 7:50-4.61
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

This Part establishes procedures and standards pursuant to which the Commission may waive strict compliance with the Plan. Waivers from the standards of N.J.A.C. 7:50-5 or 6 may be granted in limited circumstances. Waivers granted pursuant to this Part are intended to provide relief where strict compliance with this Plan will create an extraordinary hardship or where the waiver is necessary to serve a compelling public need. The relief provided will be consistent with the protection of the resources of the Pinelands. The relief granted will only be the minimum necessary to alleviate the extraordinary hardship or the compelling public need. For some extraordinary hardship cases, the minimum relief granted will allow the development of the parcel in question; in others the minimum relief will include an allocation of Pinelands Development Credits. These provisions are designed to provide all property owners with at least a minimum beneficial use of their parcels consistent with constitutional requirements. For some compelling public need cases, special measures may need to be taken so there will be an overall improvement to the resources of the Pinelands.
