This bill introduces an alternative condition for local governing bodies to authorize the erection of buildings along private roads. Specifically, it allows these bodies to issue building permits after either reviewing comments from the planning board or confirming that the private road complies with policies established by the municipality. This addition aims to streamline the process for building on private roads by providing a clearer pathway for authorization.

Additionally, the bill modifies the appeals process to the zoning board of adjustment by removing the previous discretionary timeline for appeals and replacing it with a mandatory 30-day period for filing. This change is intended to create a more uniform and predictable timeframe for appeals, ensuring that all parties involved have a clear understanding of the timeline. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.
