B. W here an applicant desires the Board to waive any requirements of subdivision or site plan approval, the applicant shall, at the time when it files its application for development, in writing, designate such requirement waivers thereof with respect to its particular applications.

A. That the general terms and conditions on which preliminary approval was granted shall not be changed, including but not limited to use requirements; layout and design standards for streets, curbs and sidewalks; lot size; yard dimensions and off-tract improvements; and, in the case of a site plan, any requirements peculiar to site plan approval pursuant to P.L. 1975, c.291 C.40:55D-41; except, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the municipality from modifying by ordinance such general terms and conditions of preliminary approval as relate to public health and safety.

In the case of a subdivision of or site plan for an area of fifty (50) acres or more, the Planning Board may grant the rights referred to in Subsections A, B and C above for such period of time, longer than three (3) years, as shall be determined by the Planning Board to be reasonable taking into consideration the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under preliminary approval, economic conditions and the comprehensiveness of the development.

E. W henever the Planning Board grants an extension of preliminary approval pursuant to subsection C. or D. of this section and preliminary approval has expired before the date on which the extension is granted, the extension shall begin on what would otherwise be the expiration date.

The Planning Board shall grant an extension of preliminary approval for a period determined by the Board but not exceeding one year from what would otherwise be the expiration date, if the developer proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board that the developer was barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from proceeding with the development because of delays in obtaining legally required approvals from other governmental entities and that the developer applied promptly for and diligently pursued the required approvals. A developer shall apply for the extension before (1) what would otherwise be the expiration date of preliminary approval or (2) the 91st day after the developer receives the last legally required approval from other governmental entities, whichever occurs later. An extension granted pursuant to this subsection shall not preclude the Planning Board from granting an extension pursuant to subsection C. and D. of this section. [Added 6-10-92 by Ord.
