In accordance with the municipality's Master
Plan, and with consideration of the character of the municipality
and its various parts, and the suitability of the various parts for
particular uses and structures, the Borough of Kingston is hereby
divided into zoning districts, differentiated according to permitted
uses and building regulations, as follows:
Residential R-1
|
Residential R-2
|
Residential R-3
|
Neighborhood Commercial C-1
|
Community Commercial C-2
|
General Commercial C-3
|
Manufacturing M-1
|
Floodplain FP-1
|
The location and boundaries of said zones are
hereby established as shown on the official Zoning Map of the Municipality
of Kingston, dated 7-11-1977, on file in the office of the Secretary
of the municipality. Said official Zoning Map, together with any map
inserts, is hereby made a part of this chapter as if the same were
all fully described and set forth herein.
The phrase "more restrictive uses," as employed
in this chapter, shall mean the following:
A. Those uses permitted in a FP-1 Zone are the most restrictive.
B. All other uses are less restrictive in the order they
are permitted in the zones in the sequence shown: R-1, R-2, R-3, C-1,
C-2, C-3, M-1.
C. Where a use is specifically enumerated in a less restrictive
zone, such use shall not be permitted in a more restrictive zone unless
it is specifically enumerated as a permitted use therein.
Except as provided in this chapter, no building
or part thereof or other structure shall be erected, altered, added
to or enlarged, nor shall any land, buildings, structures or premises
be used, designed or intended to be used for any purpose other than
the uses hereinafter listed as permitted in the zone in which such
building or premises are located.
In the event of annexation or attachment of
the municipality's territory to an adjacent or contiguous municipality
for municipal purposes, the following shall apply: If the annexing
municipality has a zoning ordinance in effect which includes provisions
of due process for rezoning territory that may be annexed to that
municipality, the provisions of the zoning ordinance of the annexing
municipality shall prevail. Notwithstanding the above provision, the
procedure to afford and effect proper protection for zoning purposes
may be as mutually agreed by arbitration or adjudication by and between
both municipalities, or as a condition of annexation.
