Land Use & Zoning

Under NJ's MLUL, a developer's application for variance or approval is deemed 'incomplete' if:

AThe developer hasn't paid all fees
BRequired application documents and information have not been submitted as specified in the municipality's completeness checklist✓ Correct
CThe board disagrees with the proposed use
DThe project is too large

Explanation

NJ's MLUL provides that an application is not complete (and the approval clock does not start) until all required submissions on the municipality's checklist are provided. This protects both applicants (clock starts) and municipalities (information adequacy).
