45:22A-46.13 Issuance of resolution memorializing decision; appeal.
11. a. An approving board shall issue a resolution memorializing its decision on an application for a converted development within the time period set forth in subsection g. of section 6 of P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-10). In the event that an approving board denies an application for a converted development or approves an application subject to conditions deemed unsatisfactory to the applicant, the applicant may appeal that determination to the court in a summary manner. Such an appeal shall be filed within 30 days of the applicant's receipt of the resolution issued by the approving board. The notice of appeal shall include the plans and reports, if any, submitted by the applicant to the approving board in support of the request for approval of a converted development, a copy of the transcript of the hearing before the approving board, and any other items that comprise the record before the approving board.
b. In deciding an appeal, the court shall consider the reasonableness of the decision of the approving board. Upon finding that the conversion should have been approved the court may make an order instructing the board to approve the converted development, along with any reasonable conditions of approval deemed necessary by the court.
