RESOLUTION OPPOSING S-457 AND A-3870, AMENDING THE TIME OF
DECISION RULE
WHEREAS, Senate Bill S-457 and Assembly Bill A-3870 are intended to modify
the "time of decision" rule which currently allows municipalities to change the
zorling regulations during the pendency of an application for development; and
WHEREAS, under the bill the ordinances in effect at the time of an application is
submitted shall govern the review of that application and any decision made
following upon that review;
WHEREAS, "the time of decision rule" is a judicially recognized principal that
decisions are to be made on the basis of laws, ordinances and regulations in effect
at the time the decision is rendered; and
WHEREAS, application and zoning changes require public discussion and
hearings and S-457/ A-3870 would permit developers to "beat the clock" by filing
applications and freezing the ability oflocal officials to act;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Mayor and Council of the
Borough ofCarteret, urges our State Legislators to oppose S457/A-3870;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
New Jersey State Legislators to oppose S-457/A-3870, members of the State
Community and Urban Affairs Committee and the Assembly Housing and Local
Government committee, the New Jersey State League of Mnnicipalities and the
Officer of the Governor.
