a. The development transfer ordinance shall provide for the issuance of such instruments as may be necessary and the adoption of procedures for recording the permitted use of the land at the time of the recording, the separation of the development potential from the land, and the recording of the allowable residual use of the land upon separation of the development potential.
b. The development transfer ordinance shall specifically provide that upon the transfer of the development potential from a sending zone, the owner of the property from which the development potential has been transferred shall cause a statement containing the conditions of the transfer and the terms of the restrictions of the use and development of the land to be attached to and recorded with the deed of the land in the same manner as the deed was originally recorded. These restrictions and conditions shall state that any development inconsistent therewith is expressly prohibited, shall run with the land, and shall be binding upon the landowner and every successor in interest thereto.
c. The development transfer ordinance shall provide that, on granting a use variance under the provisions of section 57 of P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-70) that increases the development potential of a parcel of property not in the designated receiving zone for which the variance has been granted by more than 5%, that parcel of property shall constitute a receiving zone and the provisions of the ordinance for receiving zones shall apply with respect to the amount of development potential required to implement that variance.
