Bill > A2436

Introduced Session

This bill amends the "Local Redevelopment and Housing Law," P.L.1992, c.79 (C.40A:12A-1 et seq.), to specify that certain farmland and certain other lands cannot be included in a redevelopment area, an area in need of redevelopment, a rehabilitation area, or an area in need of rehabilitation under that law. Specifically, this bill amends the definitions of "redevelopment area" and "rehabilitation area" used in the law to specifically exclude: (1) land actively devoted to agricultural or horticultural use that is valued, assessed, and taxed pursuant to the "Farmland Assessment Act of 1964," P.L.1964, c.48 (C.54:4-23.1 et seq.); (2) land valued, assessed, and taxed pursuant to the "Farmland Assessment Act of 1964" in the 10 years prior to a determination pursuant to the "Local Redevelopment and Housing Law"; and (3) land that is not classified pursuant to the requirements of N.J.A.C.18:12-2.2 as Class 2 "residential property," Class 4A "commercial property," Class 4B "industrial property," or Class 4C "apartments" for property tax purposes. The exclusions provided in the bill from the definitions of "redevelopment area" and "rehabilitation area" would not apply to lands subject to remediation and cleanup of environmentally hazardous materials or contaminants in accordance with State or federal law.
