the township of marlboro master plan re<strong>exam</strong>ination report - july <strong>2012</strong><br />

I. INTRODUCTION<br />

This report constitutes a <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>Re</strong><strong>exam</strong>ination <strong>Re</strong>port for the <strong>Township</strong> of <strong>Marlboro</strong> as defined<br />

by the New Jersey Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A.40:55D-89). The purpose of the <strong>Re</strong><strong>exam</strong>ination<br />

<strong>Re</strong>port is to review and evaluate the local <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> and Development <strong>Re</strong>gulations on a<br />

periodic basis in order to determine the need for update and revisions. The <strong>Township</strong> last adopted<br />

a <strong>Re</strong><strong>exam</strong>ination <strong>Re</strong>port in March, 2008.<br />

Section III of this report identifies the goals and objectives established in the 1997 <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />

and the 2008 <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>Re</strong><strong>exam</strong>ination <strong>Re</strong>port. Sections IV and V describe what changes have<br />

occurred in the <strong>Township</strong>, the County and the State since the adoption of the 2008 <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />

<strong>Re</strong><strong>exam</strong>ination <strong>Re</strong>port. Finally, Sections I and III discuss recommended actions to be addressed<br />

by the <strong>Township</strong> in the future.<br />

According to the <strong>Plan</strong>ning Board resolution adopting the 2008 <strong>Re</strong><strong>exam</strong>ination <strong>Re</strong>port, the Board<br />

voted to approve the <strong>Re</strong><strong>exam</strong>ination <strong>Re</strong>port of 2003 without endorsing the recommendations<br />

detailed in the 2003 <strong>Re</strong>port. In 2003, a draft <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>Re</strong><strong>exam</strong>ination <strong>Re</strong>port was prepared<br />

and the draft report was filed with the County <strong>Plan</strong>ning Board with a public hearing notice of<br />

November 5, 2003. There is no record, however, that the <strong>Plan</strong>ning Board took any action to adopt<br />

the 2003 <strong>Re</strong>port.<br />

It is important to note that the <strong>Township</strong> adopted a Vision <strong>Plan</strong> in <strong>July</strong> 2010 as an element of the<br />

<strong>Township</strong> <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>. This <strong>Plan</strong> establishes a comprehensive long term <strong>Township</strong> wide strategic<br />

vision that reinforces the continued implementation of smart Growth principles.<br />
