The boundaries of districts shall be as shown
on the map attached to and made a part of this chapter, which map
shall be known as the "Zoning Map of Greenwich Township." Said map
and all notations, references and data shown thereon are hereby incorporated
by reference into this chapter and shall be as much a part of this
chapter as if all were fully described herein.
The boundaries between districts are, unless
otherwise indicated, either the center lines of streets or railroad
rights-of-way or such lines extended or lines parallel or perpendicular
thereto. Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between a street
and a district boundary line, they shall indicate that the district
boundary line runs parallel to the street line at a distance therefrom
equivalent to the number of feet so indicated.
Where a district boundary line divides a lot
which was held in single and separate ownership at the time the boundary
line was established, the use regulations applicable to the less restricted
district shall extend over the portion of the lot in the more restricted
district a distance of not more than 50 feet beyond the district boundary
line.

A. The following uses shall be permitted in all residential
districts:
(1) Community residences for the developmentally disabled,
community shelters for victims of domestic violence, community residences
for the terminally ill and community residences for persons with head
injuries shall be a permitted use in all residential districts of
a municipality, and the requirements therefor shall be the same as
for single-family dwelling units located within such districts. "Community
residence for the terminally ill" means any community residential
facility operated as a hospice program providing food, shelter, personal
guidance and health care services, under such supervision as required,
to not more than 15 terminally ill persons.
(2) Family day-care homes.
(a)
Family day care homes as defined in N.J.S.A.
40:55D-66.5b, and are to be licensed or registered to the extent required
by the laws and regulations of the State of New Jersey.
(b)
The standards for said homes shall be the same
as for single-family dwelling units located in the same district,
in accordance with the New Jersey Municipal Land Use Law, N.J.S.A.
40:55D-66.5b, as amended.
(c)
Family day-care homes are to be considered as
home occupations, and as such, shall not be subject to more stringent
restrictions than exist or apply to all other home occupations in
the particular residential district in which the family day-care home
is located.
B. Child-care centers.
(1) Child-care centers for which a license is required
from the New Jersey Department of Human Services pursuant to P.L.
1983, c. 492 (N.J.S.A. 30:5B-1 et seq.) shall be a permitted use in
all nonresidential districts.
(a)
The floor area in any building or structure
used for child-care purposes shall be excluded in calculating any
parking requirement.
(b)
The floor area in any building or structure
used for child-care purposes shall be excluded in calculating the
permitted density allowable for that building.
(2) Notwithstanding the above statements, the development
of a child-care facility in an existing structure or in a standalone
facility, shall require site plan review and will be subject to the
standards of the district in which it is located. Parking requirements
shall be based on evaluating the following factors: the maximum number
of children for which the site is licensed; the number of employees
present during the maximum shift; and the operational plan for the
dropoff and pickup of children during the school day.
