Proposed Green Development Checklist for Determining Site Plan Application Completeness

[Added 5-27-2014 by Ord. No. 13-14]

This checklist must be completed and submitted with any application for site plan approval. Failure to do so will render the application incomplete. While completion of the checklist is mandatory, it is for information purposes only, and compliance with the items found herein will not become a condition of approval.

The checklist includes various green development design strategies that can be implemented as part of a residential or commercial development. The information provided in the checklist will guide and inform the dialogue between an applicant and the City regarding possible options and opportunities to use resources more efficiently, promote smart economic development, improve the environment, and generally improve the quality of life in the City.

The checklist is organized into three sections: first, it addresses the site within its regional and local context, looking at its physical location, development status, and availability of certain infrastructure; second, it addresses the impact of the proposed development on the site itself; and third, it addresses the structures on the site.

The applicant should provide examples of how they meet or address each of the items on the checklist.

NOTE:

Checklist items that are followed by [SJ] are required to be included in the checklist in order for the City to receive Sustainable Jersey certification points.
