16. a. Whenever notice and a hearing is required in any constituent municipality or affected county with respect to the adoption or amendment of a master plan, official map, zoning or subdivision regulations, or the granting of variances or special exceptions, involving property within the district or within 200 feet of its borders, the person required to give such notice shall also, at least 30 days prior to the hearing, provide written notice of the hearing to the commission by registered or certified mail. This notice of hearing shall contain a brief description of the property involved, its location, a concise statement of the matters to be heard, and a copy of any plan, code, regulations, or standards to be considered at the hearing. b. The commission shall be considered a party in interest at the local hearing. No public body of a constituent municipality or affected county shall take any action involving a municipal master plan, zoning ordinance, subdivision, building, or site plan approval, the official map, or the grant of a variance, or other special exception which is inconsistent with the master plan. c. If portions of the master plan contain proposals for drainage rights-of-way, roads or streets, schools, colleges, parks, playgrounds, or for any project before approving any subdivision or site plan, the commission may require that such project sites be shown in locations and of sizes suitable to their intended uses. The commission shall be permitted to reserve the location and extent of such project sites shown on the master plan, or any part thereof, for a period of one year after the approval of the subdivision or site plan, or within such further time as agreed to by the applying party. Unless during each one-year period or extension thereof the commission shall have entered into a contract to purchase or institute condemnation proceedings according to law for the project site, the developer shall not be bound by the proposals for such areas shown on the plan. This subsection shall not apply to streets, roads, and drainage rights-of-way required for approval of any subdivision or site plan and deemed essential to the public welfare. L.2015, c.19, s.16.
