Prior to the issuance of a building permit or
certificate of occupancy for any development on a lot wholly or partly
in the Borough, a site plan shall be reviewed by the Planning Board.
No site plan review shall be required for:
A. A change in occupancy or use of any nonresidential structure where the Borough Zoning Officer has determined that the new use is permitted either by reason of Chapter
215, Zoning, or because of prior Planning Board acting as a Board of Adjustment approval, and will not intensify site traffic circulation, required parking or endanger the general health, safety and public welfare; or

B. A rear
addition of less than 150 square feet for a one-story addition or
300 square feet for a two-story addition to a commercial structure
in a commercial zone, provided that no variances are required and
there is no impact on site circulation.
C. Detached
one- or two-dwelling unit buildings.
[Amended 12-29-1999 by Ord. No. 99-16]
The Planning Board acting as a Board of Adjustment
may waive site plan approval requirements upon a finding by the Board
that the appropriate proposed construction or alteration or change
of occupancy or use does not affect existing circulation, drainage,
relationship of buildings to each other, landscaping, buffering, lighting
or other considerations of site plan review.
[Amended 7-10-1989 by Ord. No. 471]
The proposed structure or development shall meet all requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and specifications of the municipality, county, state or federal governments or other agencies with jurisdiction over matters pertaining to site development, except as noted elsewhere in this chapter. All applicants for approvals required by §
163-4 above or applicants for waiver of site plan as provided for in §
163-5 above shall, upon approval, be required to comply with the provisions of §
209-5 of Chapter
209, Water Conservation, which provides that all construction within the borough, including both new construction and repairs and renovations, shall employ the latest up-to-date water-saving devices currently being sold in the Borough Clerk's office or their equivalent, specifically aerators, shower heads and toilet dams.
