antennas," "dish antennas," and the like, are permitted as an accessory
use together with the necessary support structure, amplifier, and
electrical connections. One such facility shall be permitted per lot.
The primary location for said facility shall be in the side or rear
yards at least 20 feet from the property line or on the roof of the
principal building. In the event none of these locations provides
a line of sight to the satellite, the applicant shall apply to the
approving authority for a variance to locate the facility in either
the front yard or closer to another property line in the side or rear
yard on the condition that if located in the front yard, plantings
and/or other landscaping features such as walls, berms and fencing
be installed to minimize the view of the antenna from the public street(s).
To the extent the facility emits signals or other energy that interferes
with electrical equipment in nearby homes and businesses, the antenna
shall be appropriately shielded to eliminate the interference. To
the extent the facility emits electric or magnetic fields determined
by manufacturers, state or federal authorities to be a potential health
or safety risk, the facility shall be modified as necessary to eliminate
the risks. All electrical and service connections shall be installed
underground.
J. Storage of recreational vehicles, boats and certain
commercial/industrial vehicles and equipment.
(1) The outdoor storage of an unoccupied recreational vehicle, motor home, travel trailer, camper or small boat shall be permitted on single-family properties, provided that the vehicle, including the length of any trailer needed to transport it, does not exceed 24 feet in length, and the vehicle is stored according to the Subsections

Storage of such vehicles in parking lots of townhouse, apartment or other multifamily developments is prohibited unless the vehicles are either parked in a garage or parked in a designated parking area where the space being used is in addition to the off-street parking spaces required for the dwelling units.
(a)
No travel trailer, camper or boat stored in
conformance with this section shall remain in such storage for longer
than 12 consecutive months.
(b)
Any such vehicle stored in accordance with this
section shall not be occupied and shall not be provided with utility
connections other than for the maintenance of such vehicle.

and material such as, but not limited to, bulldozers, graders, dump
trucks, rollers, tree and stump chippers and grinders, lawn mowers
and fertilizer spreaders, tillers, roofing and other building materials
and equipment, except that said types of equipment in operating condition
may be parked (not repaired or kept in an inoperable condition) on
a residential lot where the lot size is at least one acre; no more
than two pieces of equipment may be located on the site at any one
time; the equipment shall be owned and operated only by the resident
of the site (permitting others to park on site is prohibited); each
piece of equipment is parked no closer than 50 feet to any lot line;
no such equipment shall be parked in any front yard, and each piece
of equipment shall be either parked in an enclosed building such as
a garage or be screened from abutting properties by buildings and/or
dense planting material planted for a width at least 50 feet, or some
combination of the two. The intent of these provisions is to reduce
the probability that this type of equipment can impose a nonresidential
character in a residential zone.
[Amended 9-9-1997 by Ord. No. 97-8 and
99 by Ord. No. 99-6]
(a)
For the purpose of this section, the tractor-trailer

more than one large farm animal such as a horse, pony, mule, swine,
cow or head of cattle is permitted or, in the alternative, not more
than four small farm animals such as, but not limited to, goats, chickens,
pigeons, ducks and geese are permitted. For each additional acre above
four acres, either one large farm animal is permitted up to a maximum
of 10 large animals, or four small farm animals are permitted, up

[Added 11-14-1995 by Ord. No. 95-20;

The purpose of this district is to provide for
the development of larger lot, lower-density single-family homes in
undeveloped sections of the Borough where the existing scattered homes
in these areas are on similar sized or larger lots. The development
of larger lot, non-age-restricted single-family homes in the R-6 District
is intended to offset the higher density single-family housing opportunities
available throughout the Borough and add to the variety of residences
in the Borough. The R-6 District is also intended to provide opportunities
for age-restricted housing at higher densities. The higher density
for age-restricted housing is offset by each home having fewer people
than a traditional home and no school children, while the housing
type is anticipated as meeting a growing demand.

[Added 01-25-2005 by Ord. No. 05-04]
A. General provisions.
(1)
Purpose and overview. The purpose of this optional
overlay section is to accommodate development and redevelopment of
land in the Borough of Glassboro in a manner consistent with the design
principles of traditional neighborhoods specific to residential, civic
and institutional, and open space uses.
(a)
The Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND)
Overlay Ordinance provides for a flexible, fiscally sustainable form
of development that creates a strong sense of place. It is based on
an ascending hierarchy of places: street, square, neighborhood and
village. It is intended to encourage and support the development of
friendly, walkable neighborhoods.
(b)
The pedestrian-oriented nature of the district
is reinforced by human scaled buildings that relate to the street,
provide safe pedestrian access and create a distinct neighborhood
identity.
(c)
A traditional neighborhood:
[2]
Is designed for the human scale.
[3]
Provides uses in close proximity to one another
within the neighborhood.
[4]
Provides a mix of housing styles, types, and
sizes to accommodate households of all ages, sizes, and incomes.
[5]
Incorporates a system of relatively narrow,
interconnected streets with sidewalks, bikeways, and transit that
offer multiple routes for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists and
provides for the connections of those streets to existing and future
developments.
[6]
Retains existing buildings with historical features
or architectural features that enhance the visual character of the
community.
[7]
Incorporates significant environmental features
into the design.
[8]
Provides opportunities for a range of residential
densities and dwelling types, as well as community and local service
facilities and recreational and open space facilities.
[9]
Is consistent with Glassboro's Master Plan.
(2)
Applicability and criteria. The TND Ordinance
includes an alternative set of standards for development within the
Borough of Glassboro:
(a)
The TND Overlay District is an optional overlay
that may only be used on the noncommercial portions of a tract that
is also utilizing the provisions of a Planned Retirement Community
(PRC) Overlay District.
(b)
The minimum tract size shall be 20 contiguous
acres. For the purposes of this chapter, tracts of land that are separated
only by a street shall be considered contiguous.
(3)
General site requirements.
(a)
Density. The TND Overlay may only be used on
a site that is also utilizing the provisions of the PRC Overlay District.
This section does not change the overall density provisions for the
PRC Overlay.
(b)
Building types. The allowable mix of building
types is specified in the PRC Overlay District. This section does
not change the mix. The use of a mix of residential building types
is encouraged. The exact mix and location shall be dependent upon
the specific site and the internal compatibility with adjacent lots
and public rights-of-way.
(c)
Block and street design. Streets are to be planned
using a grid pattern or loose network forming blocks, thus allowing
several routes to any destination. Mid-block pathways should be used
when appropriate to allow pedestrians to walk through the long side
of a block. The plan, through its design, should seek to minimize
vehicular speeds and shortcutting while making walking and cycling
safer, easier and more pleasant.
(d)
General. Open spaces may be distributed throughout
the neighborhood but shall be given prominent sites, to contribute
to their sense of place and focus. Neighborhoods should be planned
using a quarter-mile radius, providing a five-minute walk from the
edge to the center.
B. TND design standards.
(1)
Neighborhood uses. In order to achieve the proximity
necessary to make neighborhoods walkable, it is important that a traditional
neighborhood development consist of a mix of residential uses, civic
or institutional uses, and open space as provided below:
(a)
Residential uses. The following residential
types may occur anywhere in the traditional neighborhood development.
For infill development, the mix of residential uses may be satisfied
by existing residential uses adjacent to the traditional neighborhood
development.
[1]
Single-family detached dwellings;
[2]
Single-family attached dwellings, including
duplexes and townhomes;
[4]
Special needs housing, such as assisted living
facilities.
(b)
Civic or institutional uses.
[1]
Municipal offices, fire stations, libraries,
museums and galleries, community meeting facilities, post offices,
and similar facilities;
(c)
Open space uses.
[2]
Open space uses identified below should be incorporated
in the traditional neighborhood development as appropriate. Large
outdoor recreation areas (passive and active) should be located at
the periphery of neighborhoods rather than central locations.
[a] Environmental corridors including
wetlands, floodplains, and greenways;
[d] Streams, ponds, and other water
bodies;
[e] Major stormwater management facilities.

character.
(a)
Guidelines for new structures.
[1]
The TND architectural features, materials, and
articulation of a facade of a building shall be continued on all sides
visible from a public street or public space/park.
[2]
Porches, pent roofs, roof overhangs, hooded
front doors or other similar architectural elements shall define the
front entrance to all residences.
[3]
New structures on opposite sides of the same
street should follow similar design guidelines. This provision shall
not apply to buildings bordering civic uses.
[4]
The use of earth-tone colors, historical colors,
or other colors associated with TND building design is required. The
painting of structures in bold nontraditional colors, patterns, checks
and stripes is not permitted.
[5]
Gable roofs with a minimum pitch of 5/12 are
encouraged, and should be provided with eaves. Flat roofs should be
avoided on one-story buildings. Two-story or taller buildings should
be provided with a traditional cornice treatment. Mansard roofs are
generally discouraged. Architectural embellishments that add visual
interest to roofs, such as dormers, belvederes, masonry chimneys,
cupolas, clock towers, and other similar elements are encouraged.
[6]
All permitted nonresidential buildings shall
avoid long, monotonous wall or roof plans by modulating the facade
to give the appearance of several buildings. Wall facades exceeding
30 feet in length and oriented towards the public view shall include
windows, entrances or similar architectural features appropriately
spaced.
[7]
Entrances shall be inviting to pedestrians and,
to the fullest extent possible, provide shade and weather protection.
[8]
Fixed or operable fabric awnings are desirable
and permitted. Canvas is the preferred material, although other waterproof
fabrics may be used. Metal and plastic awnings, including vinyl, are
prohibited.
[9]
All equipment providing services to the building,
whether roof-mounted or ground-placed, shall be screened by appropriate
architectural design and landscaping as appropriate.
[10] The use of site and street furniture
and improvements including benches, tables, trash receptacles, and
bike racks, pedestrian walkways, planters and lighting consistent
with traditional community character is encouraged.
[11] Parking lots shall be designed
to accommodate and encourage safe and convenient pedestrian movement.
Landscaping and buffering should be used abundantly to minimize street
view of parking lots. The use of asymmetrical, undulating berms, and
reverse parking lot grading is encouraged to further minimize street
view of parking lots.
[12] "Do not enter" and "one-way" signs
often confuse the motoring public and add to the clutter of the streetscape.
The applicant's engineer shall use them sparingly in accordance with
the review engineer's recommendations.
[13] The exterior building surface
including material and color shall include one dominant surface comprising
60% or greater of each building elevation. Dominant exterior materials
