A.
This I-Industrial District is designed for all industrial uses permitted in the Township. The intensity of operations shall not exceed the limitations imposed by the performance standards hereinafter set forth in this article. All uses as permitted and regulated in the Office Building and Research Laboratory District are permitted in the Industrial District; provided, however, that any part of the I Zone that falls within an area defined as an airport hazard area in the Air Safety and Hazardous Zoning Act of 1983, 2 N.J.A.C. 16:62 et seq., as amended May 15, 1989, shall comply with the provisions of said chapter. State-licensed hospitals and nursing homes are not permitted within any part of an area that falls within said airport hazard area.

[Amended 6-14-2018 by Ord. No. 15-2018]
(3)
No building or structure shall be closer to another building
or structure than a distance that equals or exceeds the height of
the higher building or structure. If the building varies in height,
the separation requirement shall apply independently to each portion
of the building, based upon the height of such portion. Enclosed walkways
may connect individual buildings and, for the purpose of administering
this section, shall not be construed as an integral part of either
building.
[Amended 6-14-2018 by Ord. No. 15-2018]
(4)
No storage of any kind shall be permitted other

(6)
The total floor area of all buildings within a planned industrial
development shall not exceed 30% of the total site area in the planned
industrial development. For the purpose of determining this thirty-percent
ratio, the applicant may cluster his development on one or more lots
within the planned industrial development that exceed the thirty-percent
coverage of said lot or lots; provided, however, that to do so, he
shall either deed to the Township public areas or he shall set aside
within the planned industrial development public areas in an amount
such that, when added to the area of the lot or lots containing the
cluster development, the thirty-percent maximum coverage ratio would
be met. The public areas to be deeded or set aside under the terms
of this section shall be in the I Zone at a location and shape as
approved by the Planning Board.
[Amended 2-23-2017 by Ord. No. 2-17]

and width, off-street parking, floor area ratios and other applicable
requirements of this chapter regulating the use of land in the I Zone.
