A. The following conditional uses to the use limitations
imposed by this chapter are permitted under the terms and specifications

safety and general welfare of the community if located without due
consideration to the existing conditions and surroundings, the following
standards and procedures are hereby established.

application, the approving agency may act on site plans submitted
to it or may suggest modifications and changes. In approving an application,
the approving agency may require, in addition to features specified,
such other features or design in keeping with the intent thereof that
will further the purpose of these standards and regulations. Such
features shall be provided and maintained as a condition of the establishment
and maintenance of any use to which they are a condition of approval.
The approving agency shall decide each application in accordance with
the procedure provided for the issuance of conditional use permits
in each section of this article. Each applicant is to submit plans
in accordance with the site plan or subdivision regulations, as the
case may be. In reviewing applications, the approving agency shall
be guided by the following considerations:
(1)
The use for which application is being made
is specifically authorized as a conditional use for the zoning district
in which it is located.
(2)
The design, arrangement and nature of the particular
use is such that the public health, safety and welfare will be protected
and reasonable consideration is afforded to the:
(a)
Character of the neighborhood and zone.

(c)
Health and safety of residents or workers on
adjacent properties and in the surrounding neighborhood.

the Master Plan of the Township of Marlboro.
(3)
The use serves the general convenience of the
neighborhood.
