CAFRA and Coastal Centers of New Jersey

Centers and cores encompass areas of compact, mixed-use development and include adjacent areas for imminent growth where there are no significant environmental features. Nodes are concentrations of single – use facilities and activities. Centers, cores and nodes are one component of regulations adopted by the NJDEP, pursuant to CAFRA. The impervious cover limits and vegetative cover percentages for proposed developments requiring a CAFRA permit are determined by the location of proposed development within a Coastal Planning Area, CAFRA center, CAFRA core, CAFRA node, mainland coastal center or non-mainland coastal center. N.J.A.C. 7:7 Coastal Zone Management Rules sets forth the impervious cover limits and vegetative cover requirements for a site in the CAFRA area. There are five types of centers: urban centers, regional centers, towns, villages and hamlets. Each has associated with it a corresponding, pre-determined impervious cover limit and vegetative cover requirement.
