N.J. Admin. Code § 15:30-8.2
In most cases, the State Plan Policy Map reflects the intergovernmental consensus arrived at during the cross-acceptance process. While the cross-acceptance process provides sufficient data, coordination and dialogue to prepare the State Plan Policy Map, new research, conditions and events may also suggest appropriate changes to the State Plan Policy Map. The purpose of this subchapter, therefore, is to create a process for amending the State Plan Policy Map after adoption of the State Development and Redevelopment Plan in order to accommodate such newly discovered or newly important conditions, situations or knowledge that emerge as the State Plan is applied by State and regional agencies, as well as municipalities and counties. In addition, it is necessary to address planning area changes and designation of centers, cores and nodes that evolve through the plan endorsement process.
