MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY VS. COUNTY OF PASSAIC, ET AL.
A-3318-15T3
In Rutgers v. Piluso, 60 N.J. 142 (1972), the Supreme Court addressed the limits of a local government's authority to regulate on-site construction on a state university's property that was confined to its campus. In this dispute, the court was asked to determine whether those limits apply to a state university's construction of a roadway that intersects with an off-site local road. The court held that the state university was not required to obtain local land use approval for the project because the limits imposed by Rutgers applied equally to the proposed development in this case.
