Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024
Section 7:7-15.13 - National defense facilities(a) A national defense facility is any building, group of buildings, marine terminal, or land area owned or operated by a defense agency (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard) and used for training, research, material support, or any other defense related use.(b) National defense facilities are conditionally acceptable provided the development meets either (b)1 or 2 below: 1. The proposed facility is consistent with all relevant sections of this chapter; or2. The proposed facility is coastally dependent, will be constructed and operated with maximum possible consistency with this chapter, and will result in minimal feasible degradation of the natural environment.(c) The construction of new facilities or expansion of existing facilities on land not owned by a defense agency is discouraged, unless it can be shown that the facility cannot feasibly be accommodated on an existing base.(d) Rationale: Providing for the national defense is the responsibility of the Federal government, and the New Jersey Coastal Management Program will not question the findings of a Federal defense agency with respect to national security needs. The requirements that coastal dependent facility comply with this chapter only to the maximum extent feasible is in keeping with Section 306(c)(8) of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act, which requires consideration of the national interest in the siting of facilities necessary to meet requirements which are other than local in nature.
