[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough Council of the Borough of
Lodi as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 10-15-2007 by Ord. No. 808-11]
Recently a proliferation of the use of commercially supplied
temporary storage containers within the Borough's residential
zoning districts has resulted in a deterioration of the aesthetic
qualities of the residential neighborhoods and otherwise adversely
affected the quality of life of those residing in close proximity
of the containers in question. Such quality-of-life issues are especially
impacted in those situations where commercially supplied temporary
storage containers are utilized for a prolonged period of time. The
purpose of this article is to limit the duration of time that such
commercially supplied temporary storage containers may be stored within
the front or side yards of any parcel of real property located within
the Borough's residential zoning districts, and to provide a
permitting fee in connection with the use thereof.
All commercially supplied mobile or temporary storage units
to house or store personal items (inclusive of household belongings,
furnishings and furniture) utilized upon any premises, improved or
otherwise, located within the Borough's residential zoning districts
shall be subject to the following restrictions:
A.
Placement and keeping of all such units shall be limited to the paved
driveway located upon the premises.
B.
All such units shall be temporary in nature and shall not remain
or be utilized for a period exceeding 60 days. The start date of the
time period shall commence as of the date of the delivery of the regulated
unit, as shown on the delivery ticket issued by the commercial supplier
of the same, which delivery ticket shall be made available to the
Borough's Property Maintenance Office upon request.
C.
Utilization of any commercially supplied mobile or temporary storage
units, as defined herein, shall not be permitted on any one parcel
of property located within any of the Borough's residential zoning
districts for more than two sixty-day periods within any period of
12 consecutive months.
D.
No commercially supplied mobile or temporary storage units, as defined
herein, shall exceed 16 feet in length.
