Jackson Holdings, L.L.C. v. Jackson Twp. Planning Bd., A-3435-08T1; Appellate Division; opinion by Skillman, P.J.A.D.; decided and approved for publication July 14, 2010. Before Judges Skillman, Fuentes and Simonelli. On appeal from the Law Division, Ocean County, L-4188-07-PW. DDS No. 26-2-8610 [12 pp.]
Plaintiff Jackson Holdings, L.L.C., applied to defendant Jackson Township Planning Board for preliminary major subdivision approval to subdivide a 303-acre tract into 493 building lots and four lots for storm water management ponds and open space. Jackson’s application proceeded under a provision of the zoning ordinance that permitted high-density residential development as a conditional use. Before authorizing a development under this provision, the board had to find that: (a) the proposal would not create traffic hazards or adversely affect traffic patterns established by surrounding development; and (b) the proposal was consistent with the intent and purpose of the master plan and the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan.
