A. Waiver of development plan approval
The Planning Board may waive requirements for development plan approval where there is a change in use of occupancy and no extensive construction of improvements is sought. The waiver may be granted only by a decision of the Planning Board finding that the use will not affect existing drainage, circulation, relationship of buildings to each other, landscaping, buffering, lighting and other considerations of development plan approval, and that the existing facilities do not require upgraded or additional site improvements.
B. Documentation
The application for a waiver of development plan approval review shall include documentation, as required by the Planning Board, on prior use of the site, the proposed use, and its impact.
C. Grounds for waiver
The Planning Board shall have the power to grant such waivers and/or modifications from the requirements for land development and subdivision approval, as may be reasonable, and within the general purposes and intents of the provisions for local regulations. The only grounds for such waivers and/or modifications shall be where the literal enforcement of one (1) or more provisions of the regulations is impracticable and will exact undue hardship, because of the peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question, or where such waiver and/or modification is in the best interest of good planning practice and/or design, as evidenced by consistency with the municipality's comprehensive plan and Zoning Ordinance.
D. Decision
The Planning Board shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request for either a waiver or modifications, as described in subsection (A) or (B) above, according to the requirements of Section 903.
