New Jersey A4405 allows installation of automatic standby generators in residences without zoning or planning board approval.

New Jersey A4405 simplifies the installation of automatic standby generators in residential properties by exempting them from zoning or planning board approval. The bill defines an automatic standby generator as a natural gas or liquid gas propane fuel powered generator permanently connected to a one or two-family residential structure, operating only during power outages. It classifies such generators as accessory uses or structures, permitted in all residential zoning districts without requiring a variance.
