[Added 2-23-1988 by Ord. No. 83-3; amended in its entirety 7-26-1988 by Ord. No. 88-26]
The Township Committee hereby finds that the
lack of enforceable traffic and parking regulations in the Nelson's
Corner Shopping Center, which is a privately owned commercial complex
containing parking yards and parking places that are open to the public
or to which the public is invited, has contributed significantly to
traffic and parking conditions in the Shopping Center that pose a
substantial threat to the health, safety and welfare of motorists
and pedestrians therein. It is therefore the purpose of the Township
Committee by this article to regulate traffic and the parking of vehicles
in the parking yards and parking places of the Shopping Center, pursuant
to N.J.S.A. 39:4-197, and thereby to promote the public health, safety
and welfare.
As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
That complex of commercial buildings and appurtenant access
and parking areas located on U.S. Route 206 and Amwell Road (Somerset
County Route 514) in the Township of Hillsborough, Somerset County,
New Jersey, known and designated on the Hillsborough Township Tax
Map as "Lot 1, Block 200A."
That certain map of the Shopping Center annexed hereto and
made a part hereof and entitled "Traffic Flow Plan, Nelson's Corner
Shopping Center.
The following traffic regulations shall be made
applicable to the Nelson's Corner Shopping Center.
