days after the enactment of this chapter and shall be continually
and diligently pursued to completion; otherwise said permit shall
be void.
All development shall be carried out in a manner
which promotes energy conservation and maximizes active and passive
solar energy in accordance with any applicable statutes. Such measures
may include orientation of buildings, landscaping to permit solar
access and the use of energy conservation building materials.
Except as specified in §
219-34 of this chapter, any use, building or structure existing at the time of the enactment of this chapter may be continued, even though such use, building or structure may not conform with the provisions of this chapter for the district in which it is located.
All lots being filled shall be filled with clean
fill and/or topsoil to allow complete surface draining of the lot
into local storm sewer systems or natural drainage rights-of-way.
No construction shall be permitted which creates or aggravates water
stagnation or a draining problem on adjacent properties.
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter,
the lawful use of land, buildings or structures existing at the date
of the adoption of this chapter may be continued although such use,
buildings or structures do not conform to the regulations specified
by this chapter. However, no use, building or structure shall be enlarged,
extended, constructed, reconstructed, substituted, relocated, erected,
converted to another use, nor structurally altered except in conformity
with the regulations of this chapter for the district in which such
uses, buildings or structures are located. Also, land on which a nonconforming
use, building or structure is located shall not be reduced in size,
nor shall any lot already nonconforming be made more nonconforming
in any manner. The prospective purchaser, prospective mortgagee, or
any other person interested in any land upon which a nonconforming
use or structure exists may apply in writing for the issuance of a
certificate certifying that the use or structure existing before the
adoption of the ordinance which rendered the use or structure nonconforming.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof. Application pursuant
hereto may be made to the Administrative Officer within one year of
the adoption of the ordinance which rendered the use or structure
nonconforming or at any time to the Board of Adjustment.
A. Abandonment or discontinuance. Any nonconforming use
not in operation for a period of 12 consecutive months shall not be
allowed to continue where there has not been an effort to continue
the use during that time period.
B. Conversion to permitted use. Any nonconforming structure
or use which has been changed to a conforming structure or use shall
not be changed back again into a nonconforming structure or use.
C. Restoration.
(1) Any nonconforming structure or use which has been
condemned or destroyed by fire, explosion, flood, windstorm or other
act of God shall be examined by the following three people: Borough
Building Inspector; the owner or an architect or engineer selected
by the owner; and a third person agreed to by the Borough Building
Inspector and the owner, whose fee shall be agreed to and shall be
paid in equal portions by the Borough and the owner. If, in the opinion
of a majority of the above three people, the damage is greater than
50%, the structure or use shall be considered completely destroyed
and may be rebuilt only upon approval of a use variance as provided
by state statutes.
(2) In the event of a damaged or condemned structure where
the damage or value of restoration is less than 50% in the opinion
of the majority of the above three people, the nonconforming use,
provided it does not exceed any height, area and volume of the original
structure and the reconstruction, shall commence within one year form
the date the building was damaged or condemned and shall be carried
on without interruption.
(3) The total value of the structure shall be based on
the current cost of replacing those portions destroyed or required
to be rebuilt to their original status plus the current cost of replacing
the remaining usable elements of the structure. The cost of replacing
the portion that was damaged or required rebuilding shall be computed
as a percentage of the current value of the structure as outlined
above.
D. Repairs and maintenance. Such repairs and maintenance
work as required to keep a structure in sound condition may be made
to a nonconforming structure or a structure containing a nonconforming
use, provided that the work does not change the use, increase the
floor area or the lot area used for a nonconforming use.
E. Sale. Any nonconforming use, structure or lot may
change ownership and continue to function as the same nonconforming
use, structure or lot, provided that the other provisions of this
section are met.
F. Nonconforming lots.
(1) Any existing lot on which a building or structure
is located and which lot does not meet the minimum lot size, or a
structure which violates any yard requirements, may have additions
to the principal building and/or construct an accessory building without
an appeal to the Board of Adjustment, provided that:
(a)
The total permitted building coverage is not
exceeded.
(b)
The accessory building and/or any addition do
not violate any other requirements of this chapter, such as but not
limited to height, setback and parking.
(2) Any vacant lot existing at the effective date of adoption
or amendment of this chapter whose area or dimensions do not meet
the requirements of the district in which the lot is located may have
a building permit issued for a use permitted for that zoning district
without an appeal to the Joint Land Use Board, provided that the building
coverage limit is not exceeded, parking requirements are met, and
the yard and height provisions are reduced by the same percentage
that the area of such lot bears to the zone district requirements,
except that no side yard shall be less than either 10 feet or half
that required by this chapter, whichever is greater, and no building
shall be required to have a height less than 12 feet and one story.
An application for a permit shall provide documentation
that the intended use will comply with the performance standards enumerated
below. In the case of a structure being built where the future use
is not known, a building permit may be issued with the condition that
no certificate of occupancy will be issued until such time as this
document is submitted with respect to the particular occupant. A new
application and a new certificate of occupancy shall be required in
the event of a change of any user of any structure. In the event that
any use fails to meet the performance standards after the certificate
of occupancy is issued, the Building Inspector, after proper notice,
may revoke the certificate and the use shall be terminated.
A. Buffers.
(1) Buffering shall be provided between residential uses
of different intensity and between residential and nonresidential
uses.
(2) Buffers shall be created to minimize noise; to provide
relief from views of loading areas, trash enclosures, parking areas
and the like; and to provide a horizontal and vertical separation
between different land uses.
(3) Existing vegetation, particularly hedgerows, should
be incorporated into buffers whenever possible.
(4) All buffers shall be a mixture of trees and shrubs
which are predominantly evergreen, as approved by the Planning Board,
and shall provide the equivalent of two staggered rows of evergreen
trees, each tree planted 15 feet apart. Evergreen trees shall be six
feet to eight feet tall, balled and burlapped, sheared. Shrubs shall
be a minimum of three feet tall.
(5) Existing woods within the required buffer area should
not be cleared.
(6) Detention basins shall not be included within the
buffer areas.
(7) Buffers separating uses. Where multifamily or townhouse
structures adjoin a single-family area, or where a nonresidential
use abuts a residential use, a buffer 15 feet in width shall be provided
within the multifamily or townhouse area unless specified at a greater
dimension by use.
(8) Buffers and screens separating districts.
(a)
Where a commercial district is contiguous to
a residential district, the commercial user shall provide a planted
buffer 20 feet in width within the commercial district.
(b)
When a commercial district is contiguous to
an office district, a buffer 20 feet in width shall be provided. Ten
feet of the buffer shall be placed within each district.
(c)
Where an industrial district is contiguous to
a residential district, a buffer 25 feet in width, together with an
open area 25 feet in width, shall be provided within the industrial
district for a total horizontal distance of 50 feet.
(d)
Where an industrial use is contiguous to an
office or commercial uses, a buffer 15 feet in width shall be located
within the industrial use, and a buffer 10 feet in width shall be
located within the office or commercial use.
(e)
Where an office district is contiguous to a
residential district, a buffer 20 feet in width shall be provided
within the office district, however, if a road should separate the
two districts, a buffer 15 feet in width shall be provided.
(f)
If a road should separate two districts, a minimum
buffer 15 feet in width shall be provided within both districts, except
for single-family residential developments.
(g)
Generally, in instances where the Planning Board
determines that buffer plantings are necessary to protect the general
welfare of the public, planted buffer areas shall be installed to
provide year-round screening from offensive views and noises. Widths
shall be 10 feet, or as deemed necessary by the Planning Board to
be effective.
B. Drainage. No stormwater or natural drainage which
originates on the property or water generated by the activity (e.g.,
air conditioners, swimming pools, etc.) shall be diverted across property
lines unless transported in an approved or existing drainage system.
C. Contiguous lots. When two or more contiguous lots
are under the same ownership and one or more of those lots are undersized
in area or dimension, the entirety of the land holdings shall be considered
as one lot for the purpose of planning.
D. Change of use, certificate of occupancy. Any change
of use or occupancy within the Borough of Wrightstown will void the
previously issued certificate of occupancy and require the issuance
of a new certificate of occupancy. In addition, Joint Land Use Board
approval must be obtained prior to the conversion of any use to any
other use even though no new construction is planned when the conversion
of use occurs. The purpose of the Joint Land Use Board review shall
be to determine that the new use will conform to all appropriate Borough
regulations and to assure that the existing facilities shall be adequate
for the proposed use.
E. Electronic equipment.
(1) Electronic equipment, including all devices for transferring

BOCA Basic Building Code as adopted by the State of New Jersey.
F. Glare. No use shall produce a strong dazzling light
beyond its lot lines. Exterior lighting shall be shielded, buffered
and directed so that glare, direct light or reflection will not become
a nuisance to adjoining dwelling units, adjoining districts or streets.
G. Heat. No use shall produce heat perceptible beyond
its lot lines. Further, no use shall be permitted which would cause
the temperature to rise or fall in any part of ponds, streams or other
watercourses.
H. Noise.
(1) No operation (other than the operation of motor vehicles
or other transportation facilities on public highways, operations
involved in the construction or demolition of structures, emergency
alarm signals or time signals) shall produce objectionable noise,
irrespective of whether the same is confined within the property covered
under the site plan or beyond any property lines thereof.
(2) Noise levels shall be designated and operated in accordance
with the following criteria and those rules as established by the
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, as they may be
adopted and amended. The sound pressure level of any use (not including
ambient noises not under control of the operator of the use) shall
not exceed 65 dBA between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. nor 50 dBA between
10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. at any point on the boundary of an industrial
district, use or on the property line of lots outside an industrial
district such that the decibel levels [Decibels: 10 log P1/P2 where
P2 is the referenced quality of (0.002) dyne/CM2. Sound pressure level shall be measured according to the specifications
published by the American Standard Association] in the design octave
band shown below (except for emergency alarm signals, and subject
to the following corrections: subtract five decibels for pulsating
or periodic noises, add five decibels for noise sources operating
less than 20% of any one-hour period) shall be the maximum allowable
sound pressure levels unless more restrictive requirements are established
by county, state or federal agencies.
