7. A municipality which provides for the transfer of development as set forth in section 3 of P.L.2004, c.2 (C.40:55D-139) shall prepare or amend a development transfer ordinance that designates sending and receiving zones and is substantially consistent with or designed to effectuate the development transfer plan element of the master plan adopted pursuant to section 19 of P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-28) and the capital improvement program adopted pursuant to section 20 of P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-29). A governing body that chooses to adopt an ordinance or amendment or revision thereto which in whole or in part is inconsistent with the development transfer plan element of the master plan or the capital improvement program may do so only by affirmative vote of a majority of the full authorized membership of the governing body, with the reasons of the governing body for so acting set forth in a resolution and recorded in its minutes when adopting such an ordinance. In creating and establishing sending and receiving zones, the governing body of the municipality shall designate tracts of land of such size and number and with such boundaries, densities and permitted uses as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of P.L.2004, c.2 (C.40:55D-137 et al.). The adoption or amendment of a development transfer ordinance shall be considered a change to the classifications or boundaries of a zoning district and therefore subject to the notification requirements of section 2 of P.L.1995, c.249 (C.40:55D-62.1).
