Its problem is that it is not an inner city minority owned church.

Here is a quote from the Experss Times about this:

"Dennis W. Schvejda, conservation director of the New Jersey chapter of the Sierra Club, said "it's ironic" the DEP granted an exemption to a church in Rockaway Township, Morris County, allowing it to build on land in the Highlands preservation area. He noted that Rockaway Township opposes the exemption, and he said the Highlands council should "deal with these types of issues." "
