Section 16:47-8.3 - Grandfathered permits
(a) All driveways and streets in existence prior to September 21, 1992, shall be considered grandfathered and to have been constructed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, if no permit was issued. Lots with grandfathered permits are subject to the requirements of this chapter.
(b) Nonconforming lots or sites with grandfathered permits are subject to maximum trip limitations, as described at N.J.A.C. 16:47-5.2. These lots or sites are subject to these maximum trip limitations, whether or not a significant increase in traffic occurs as a result of an activity described in N.J.A.C. 16:47-8.1(a).
(c) Nonconforming lots or sites with grandfathered permits for which the existing size and type of land use causes the trip generation to exceed the maximum trip limitations for the lot or site, will only be granted a permit under N.J.A.C. 16:47-8.1(a) if the proposed use will not exceed the trip generation granted under the grandfathered permit. Any proposed highway improvements must benefit the State highway.
(d) A determination as to whether a permit for a lot or site is grandfathered or a new permit is needed shall be made as follows:
