1. The Planning Board shall issue all certificates of appropriateness except as provided in Subsections B.2 and 3 hereinbelow.
2. The Board of Adjustment shall issue certificates of appropriateness for those applications for development which it is otherwise empowered to review.
3. The Historic Preservation Commission shall issue certificates of appropriateness for those applications it is empowered to review pursuant to § DR-806D of this ordinance.
 

C. Certificates of appropriateness shall be required for the actions described in § DR-806C and § DR-806D of this ordinance and for the following:

1. Construction, encroachment upon, alteration, remodeling, removal, disturbance or demolition of any resource designated by the Pinelands Commission pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.154 or any action which renders such a site inaccessible; and
2. Development not otherwise exempted from review pursuant to § 802.E of this ordinance where a significant resource has been identified pursuant to Subsection E.2 hereinbelow.

D. Applications for certificates of appropriateness shall include the information specified in N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.156(b).

E. A cultural resource survey shall accompany all applications for major development in order to determine whether any significant historic resources exist on the parcel. Guidelines for this survey are contained in Appendix B of the "Cultural Resource Management Plan," dated April 1991, as amended. In general, the survey shall include: a statement as to the presence of any properties listed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places on the site or within the area of the project's potential environmental impacts; a thorough search of State, local and any other pertinent inventories to identify sites of potential significance; a review of the literature and consultation with professional and avocational archaeologists knowledgeable about the area; thorough pedestrian and natural resource surveys; archaeological testing as necessary to provide reasonable evidence of the presence or absence of historic resources of significance; adequate methodologies and sources used; and a list of personnel involved and qualifications of the person(s) performing the survey.

1. This requirement for a survey may be waived by the local approval agency if:

a. There is insufficient evidence of significant cultural activity on the project site or, in the case of archaeological resources, within the vicinity;
b. The evidence of cultural activity on the site lacks the potential for importance because further recording of the available data will not contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of pinelands culture; or
c. The evidence of cultural activity lacks any potential for significance pursuant to the standards of Subsection E.2 hereinbelow.
 

2. A resource shall be deemed to be significant if it possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association which reflects its significance in American history, architecture, archaeology or culture under one or more of the criteria identified in § DR-710A.1 through § DR-710A.4 of this ordinance.

F. The standards governing certificates of appropriateness in N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.156(c) shall be followed by the Planning Board, Board of Adjustment and Historic Preservation Commission.

G. The effect of the issuance of a certificate of appropriateness is as follows:

1. All subsequent development approvals shall be issued or denied in a manner consistent with the certificate of appropriateness except as provided in Subsection 515.G.2 hereinbelow.

2. A certificate of appropriateness issued as a result of the cultural resource survey requirement set forth in § 515.E above shall be effective for two years. If the resource is not designated by the Pinelands Commission pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.154 or by the Township Council pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq. within that two-year period, the historic resource standards of this section shall no longer apply to the resource in question until such time as the Pinelands Commission designates the resource pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.154.

H. The following information will be required to document resources which are not found to be significant but which are otherwise found to present graphic evidence of a cultural activity:

1. A narrative description of the resource and its cultural environment;
2. Photographic documentation to record the exterior appearance of buildings, structures, and engineering resources;
3. A site plan depicting in correct scale the location of all buildings, structures, and engineering resources; and
4. A New Jersey State inventory form as published by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy for buildings and a narrative description of any process or technology if necessary to elaborate upon the photographic record.

I. If archaeological data is discovered on a site at any time after construction has been commenced, the developer shall immediately cease construction, notify the Planning Board and the Pinelands Commission and take all reasonable steps to protect the archaeological data in accordance with the "Guidelines for the Recovery of Scientific, Prehistoric, Historic and Archaeological Data: Procedures for Notification, Reporting, and Data Recovery" (36 C.F.R. 66).
