New
Jersey State Development and Redevelopment Plan
The State
Plan provides a vision for the future that will preserve and
enhance the quality of life for all residents of New Jersey.
The State Plan is the result of a cross-acceptance
process that included thousands of New Jersey citizens in
hundreds of public forums, discussing all of the major aspects
of the plan - its goals, strategies, policies and application.
This process ensures that the plan belongs to the citizens
of New Jersey, whose hopes and visions have shaped it.
The
purpose of the State Plan is to:
Coordinate
planning activities and establish Statewide planning
objectives in the following areas: land use, housing,
economic development, transportation, natural resource
conservation, agriculture and farmland retention,
recreation, urban and suburban redevelopment, historic
preservation, public facilities and services, and
intergovernmental coordination (N.J.S.A. 52:18A-200(f)).

Planning
Areas
The
State Development and Redevelopment Plan (1)
provides a balance between growth and conservation by
designating planning areas that share common conditions
with regard to development and environmental features:
- Areas
for Growth: Metropolitan Planning areas (Planning
Area 1), Suburban Planning Areas (Planning Area 2)
and Designated Centers in any planning area.
- Areas
for Limited Growth: Fringe Planning Areas (Planning
Area 3), Rural Planning Areas (Planning Area 4), and
Environmentally Sensitive Planning Areas (Planning
Area 5). In these planning areas, planning should
promote a balance of conservation and limited growth—environmental
constraints affect development and preservation is
encouraged in large contiguous tracts.
- Areas
for Conservation: Fringe Planning Area (Planning Area
3), Rural Planning Areas (Planning Area 4), and Environmentally
Sensitive Planning Areas (Planning Area 5).

State
Plan Policy Map
The
State Plan Policy Map (State
Plan Map) reflects these planning polices
graphically. Therefore, the State Plan Policy Map serves
as the underlying land use-planning and management framework
that directs funding, infrastructure improvements, and
preservation for programs throughout New Jersey. Simply
stated the State Development and Redevelopment Plan
with the State Plan Policy Map is a dynamic vision of
New Jersey's development and conservation patterns.
With that in mind, the State Planning Commission incorporates
new data from state agencies, counties and municipalities
on an ongoing basis. |
