This chapter shall be known and cited as the "Zoning Ordinance
of the Borough of Ho-Ho-Kus."
The purpose of this chapter is to establish a pattern for the
use of land based upon the Comprehensive Master Plan for the Borough
of Ho-Ho-Kus. In their interpretation and application, the provisions
of this chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements adopted for
the promotion of the public health, safety, morals and general welfare.
Among other purposes, such provisions are intended to secure safety
from fire, flood, panic and other natural and man-made disasters;
to provide adequate light, air and open space; to ensure that development
does not conflict with the development and general welfare of neighboring
municipalities; to avoid undue concentrations of population by regulation
and limiting of use of land and the height and bulk of buildings wherever
erected; to promote a desirable visual environment through reasonable
civic design and arrangements; to promote the conservation of open
space and valuable natural resources and to prevent urban sprawl and
degradation of the environment through improper or unreasonable use
of land; to regulate and restrict the location, construction and use
of buildings, structures and the use of land; to regulate and determine
the area and dimensions of yards and other open spaces for buildings
hereafter erected; and to divide the Borough into districts, with
a view to conserving the value of property and encouraging the most
appropriate use of land throughout the Borough of Ho-Ho-Kus. This
chapter establishes a Comprehensive Zoning Plan and Map for the Borough
of Ho-Ho-Kus and implements the Land Use Element of the Ho-Ho-Kus
Master Plan, repealing Chapter 86, Zoning, of the Code of the Borough
of Ho-Ho-Kus, as amended and supplemented.
It is not intended by this chapter to repeal, abrogate, annul
or in any way impair or interfere with existing provisions of other
laws or ordinances. Where this chapter imposes a greater restriction
upon the use of buildings or premises or upon the height of buildings
or premises or lot coverage or requires greater lot area or larger
yards, courts or other open spaces than are imposed or required by
such existing provisions of law or ordinance or by such rules, regulations
or permits or by such private restrictions, the provisions of this
chapter shall control.
