Abstract:
This dataset contains the boundaries of Critical Environmental and Historic Sites (CEHS2) of the NJ State Development and Redevelopment Plan (NJSDRP). CEHS's are areas, generally less than one square mile, which include one, or more, environmentally or historically sensitive features and are recognized by the State Planning Commission. CEHS locations were submitted by county and local entities. All sites submitted were accepted, with minimal requirement for documentation. Refer to the NJSDRP for further description of the geographic nature of CEHS's.
Purpose:
The CEHS2 file was created to help implement the goals of the New Jersey State Plan. To protect and manage the state's large areas of natural and environmentally significant resources, the Sate Plan Policy Map relies on the Environmentally Sensitive/Rural Planning Area and the Environmentally Sensitive Planning Area to direct development into Centers. But there are many environmentally sensitive features and landscapes of historic or aesthetic significance that are less than one square mile in extent or whose configuration does not readily permit application of the Policy Objectives of these Planning Areas. Additionally, many sites of historic, cultural, scenic or environmental sensitivity lie within developed areas or within Metropolitan, Suburban or Fringe Planning Areas. The Critical Environmental Sites (CES) and Historic and Cultural Sites (HCS) designations are used to help organize planning for new development or redevelopment by singling out the elements of natural systems, small areas of habitat, historic sites, and other features that should continue to be expressed in the future landscape through protection and restoration. The presence of CES and HCS gives land owners and developers important advance information on how to shape their proposals for development of the land around them, focusing on including them within the design and function of the development whenever possible, while protecting them from adverse impacts. Designating a site as a CES or an HCS means that the site is of local, regional or statewide significance and that its protection and enhancement is of primary importance. Refer to the NJSDRP for further description of the geographic nature of Critical Environmental Sites and Historic and Cultural Sites. This file is used for making maps illustrating the NJSDRP, for analyzing the NJSDRP and for comparison to other GIS files and mapping. The State Plan is not itself a regulation but a statement of State policy that has been adopted by the State Planning Commission pursuant to statute to guide State, regional and local agencies in the exercise of their statutory authority.
