N.J. Admin. Code § 16:47-8.5 - Permit categories
(a) Permit categories are based on the
traffic generated on a lot or site and those trips that utilize a State highway
to access the developed lot or site, whether by a driveway between a State
highway and a lot or site or through adjacent street intersections. Deductions
can be made for internal trips; however, no deductions shall be allowed for
pass-by trips when determining the permit category.
(b) Permit categories are based on the
highest average daily weekday and weekend trip generation of the lot or site
and the highest average A.M., P.M., or weekend peak hour trip generation of the
lot or site. Trip generation shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions of this chapter including, but not limited to, the provisions of
N.J.A.C. 16:47 Appendix F-1.4, Scope of Study.
(c) If the lot or site owner either fails to
specify a land use or specifies "flexspace" in the access application, the
Department will consider the land use to be the highest potential trip
generator and the corresponding permit category will apply.
(d) There are three categories of driveway
permits as determined by the Department, based on the trip generation of the
lot or site described in N.J.A.C. 16:47 Appendix F. These categories are
described in this subsection and shown in Table 2 below:
1. Minor driveway permit--required for any
lot or site with less than 500 daily trips between it and a State highway.
Permits associated exclusively with driveway removals or emergency driveways
shall be categorized as minor, regardless of the trip generation on the lot or
site;
2. Major driveway
permit--required for any lot or site with 500 or more daily trips between it
and a State highway; and
3. Major
with planning review driveway permit--required for any lot or site with 500 or
more daily trips and 200 or more new trips in any peak hour between it and a
State highway.
(e) There
are three categories of street permits associated with development, as
described in this subsection and shown in Table 2 below:
1. Minor street permit--associated with
development generating less than 500 daily trips at the intersection;
2. Major street permit--associated with
development generating 500 or more daily trips at the intersection;
and
3. Major with planning review
street permit--associated with development generating 500 or more daily trips
and 200 or more new trips in any peak hour at the intersection.
(f) A street permit not associated
with development, or associated with a municipality or county completing a
master plan street that is part of a transportation infrastructure grid
network, shall be categorized as minor.
(g) Changes to existing streets, which
involve only geometric and grade changes, but do not change the number of
lanes, may be constructed under a highway occupancy permit, pursuant to
N.J.A.C. 16:41 and approval by the Department's Operations Permit
Office.
(h) There are two categories
of lot subdivision or lot consolidation permits based on the trip generation of
the lot, as described in this subsection and shown in Table 2 below:
1. Minor--associated with development
generating less than 500 daily trips between a State highway and a lot;
and
2. Major--associated with
development generating 500 or more daily trips between a State highway and a
lot.
(i) All temporary
driveway permits shall be categorized as minor.
