Additional 'c' variance or waiver relief may be required pending Applicant's response to the issues identified in the body of this report and during the subdivision application.
In order for the Board to grant a ‘c’ variance, an Applicant must demonstrate, to the Board’s satisfaction, that: (1) such action will relieve peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties or exceptional and undue hardship upon the developer of the subject property resulting from the strict application of the zoning ordinance (typically known as a Hardship Variance); OR (2) that granting a variance to allow departure from the zoning ordinance would advance one of the purposes of the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55d-1 et seq. [“MLUL”]) and that the benefits of the deviation would substantially outweigh any detriment (typically known as the Special Reasons). Collectively, these are known as the Positive Criteria.
The granting of a ‘c’ variance requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board members present at the hearing.
