Bill Summary
This bill amends existing law to specify that the notice requirements provided in P.L.1995, c.249 (C.40:55D-62.1) are not to be construed to apply in the event a governing body amends a zoning ordinance for the sole purpose of adding a new use to a zoning district.
AI Summary
This bill clarifies that certain notice requirements, specifically those outlined in P.L.1995, c.249 (C.40:55D-62.1), do not apply when a local government body amends a zoning ordinance solely to add a new permitted use within an existing zoning district. The existing law (P.L.1995, c.249) generally requires municipalities to provide notice to property owners within a certain distance of a zoning district when changes are made to its classification or boundaries, as well as to the Office of Planning Advocacy and registered military facility commanders. This bill carves out an exception to these notice requirements, meaning that if a municipality is just adding a new type of activity or business that can operate in a particular zone, they won't have to go through the formal notification process for property owners and other entities.
