Township of Delanco, NJ Site Plan Review

In residential developments, trees shall be planted throughout the site at a rate of one tree per 1,000 square feet of upland lot area, outside of improvements, or fraction thereof.

In nonresidential developments, trees shall be planted throughout the site at a rate of one tree per 1,000 square feet of upland lot area, outside of improvements or fraction thereof.

Of the quantity specified above, 60% shall be shade trees at a minimum caliper size of two inches to 2.5 inches and/or evergreen and coniferous trees at six to eight feet in height.

Of the quantity specified above, 40% shall be shade trees a minimum caliper size of 2.5 inches to 3.5 inches and/or evergreen and coniferous trees at eight to 10 feet in height.

Where existing, mature upland forest, containing a predominance of trees four inches in diameter at 4.5 feet height at the approval of the Board Landscape Architect, which are preserved and adequately protected and not injured during and subsequent to construction may be deducted from the quantity of trees required at the rate of one tree for every 2,000 square feet of mature upland forest. Note: Only upland areas and existing trees, which are located on the property being developed, shall be considered to satisfy this requirement; neither plantings provided in conjunction with other ordinance requirements nor trees within the right-of-way shall be considered.

An accurate limit of woodland to be cleared and planting sites for new plantings shall be indicated on the landscape plan, individual plot plan, or site plan and must be submitted to the Board Landscape Architect for review and approval prior to preliminary approval.

Mitigation required for tree removal in excess of 10 inches caliper or eight feet in height.

Provide lighting in outdoor public places where public health, safety and welfare are potential concerns.

Protect drivers and pedestrians from the glare of nonvehicular light sources that shine into their eyes and thereby impair safe traverse.

Protect neighbors and the night sky from nuisance glare and stray light from poorly aimed, placed, applied or shielded light sources.

Promote conservation through efficient lighting design.

Applicability. Outdoor lighting shall be required for safety and personal security in areas of public assembly and traverse; including but not limited to the following: residential, as well as commercial, industrial, public-recreational and institutional uses. The Board may require lighting be incorporated for other uses or locations, as they deem necessary. The glare-control requirements herein contained apply to lighting in all above-mentioned uses as well as, but not limited to, sign, architectural, landscaping and residential lighting.

[Amended 5-16-2011 by Ord. No. 2011-18]

Criteria; illumination guidelines. Lighting, where required by this chapter, shall have intensities and uniformity ratios in accordance with the current recommended practices of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) as contained in the IESNA Lighting Handbook. Future amendments to aforementioned recommended practices shall become a part of this chapter without further action of the Township. Examples of intensities for typical outdoor applications, as extracted from the Eighth Edition of the Lighting Handbook, are presented below.

[Amended 5-16-2011 by Ord. No. 2011-18]

Table I Illumination Guidelines
Use/Task	Maintained Footcandles	Uniformity
Streets, local residential	0.4 average	6:1
Streets, local commercial	0.9 average	6:1
Parking, residential, multifamily
Low vehicular/ pedestrian activity	0.2 minimum	4:1
Medium vehicular/ pedestrian activity	0.6 minimum	4:1
Parking, industrial/ commercial/ institutional/ municipal
High activity, e.g., regional shopping centers/ fast-food facilities, major athletic/ civic/ cultural events	0.9 minimum	4:1
Medium activity, e.g., community shopping centers, office parks, hospitals, commuter lots, cultural/ civic/ recreational events	0.6 minimum	4:1
Low activity, e.g., neighborhood shopping, industrial employee parking, schools, church parking	0.2 minimum	4:1
Walkways and bikeways	0.5 average	5:1
Building entrances, active	5.0 average

Fixture design; control of nuisance and disabling glare. All outdoor lighting, whether or not required by this chapter, on private, residential, commercial, industrial, municipal, recreational or institutional property shall be aimed, located, designed, fitted and maintained so as not to present a disabling glare hazard to drivers or pedestrians or a nuisance glare concern to neighboring properties.

[Amended 5-16-2011 by Ord. No. 2011-18]

Directional fixtures such as floodlights and spotlights shall be installed or aimed at an angle no higher than 45° above straight down (half-way between straight down and straight to the side) so that they do not shine directly into the window of a neighboring residence, directly into a roadway or skyward.

Unless otherwise permitted by the Board, lighting shall be controlled by automatic switching devices such as timers, motion detectors and/or photocells, to extinguish offending sources between 11:00 p.m. to dawn, to mitigate glare and skylighting consequences.

Vegetation screens shall not be employed to serve as the primary means for controlling glare. Rather, such control shall be achieved primarily through the use of sharp cutoff fixtures, the appropriate application of mounting height, wattage, aiming angle, fixture placement and fixture design, etc., and the additions of shields and baffles as necessary.

The amount of illumination projected onto a residential use from another property shall not exceed 0.25 vertical footcandles at the property line.

Externally illuminated signs shall be lighted by fixtures mounted at the top of the sign and aimed down rather than by fixtures mounted at the bottom of the sign and aimed up.

(6)

In and adjacent to residential areas, light should be shielded so that the lamp is not directly visible outside the property perimeter.

Law governing conflicts. Where any provision of federal, state, county or Township statutes, codes or laws conflicts with any provision of this chapter, the most restrictive shall govern unless otherwise regulated by law. Seasonal decorations using typical unshielded low-wattage incandescent lamps shall be permitted in all lighting zones from Thanksgiving through January 15.

Installation.

[Amended 5-16-2011 by Ord. No. 2011-18]

Lighting fixtures shall be mounted at the top of a pole at heights suitable to provide the best overall lighting design, but in no case shall be mounted in excess of 22 feet above grade, maintaining the uniformity and limiting the bulb wattages as follows:

	Fixture Mounting Height	Maximum Bulb Watts
	Less than 18 feet	175 watts maximum
	18 to 22 feet	250 watts maximum

Electrical feeds to lighting standards shall run underground, not overhead.

Lighting standards in parking areas shall be placed a minimum of five feet outside the paved area, outside where vehicles may conflict with the placement of the fixture. Where the poles are five feet outside the paved area, the base of the fixture shall be flush mounted with the ground.

Where, due to restrictions in light locations due to inadequate spacing between vehicle areas and light fixtures, lights may be placed on reinforced concrete pedestals at least 30 inches high above the pavement, or by other acceptable protective means. Aboveground mounting of light pole foundations is not encouraged or desirable. Where due to space limitations, the concrete footing must extend above grade for protection of the poles, they shall be decoratively treated to complement the building materials.

The Board shall, if the proposed development complies, grant preliminary site development plan approval.

Preliminary plans shall be filed by the applicant whenever review or approval of an application is required by the Burlington County Planning Board. The Joint Land Use Board shall condition any approval that it grants upon timely receipt of a favorable report on the application by the Burlington County Planning Board or approval by the Burlington County Planning Board by its failure to report thereon within the required time period.

Effect of preliminary approval. Preliminary approval of a site development plan shall, except as provided in Subsection F of this section, confer upon the applicant the following rights for a three-year period from the date of preliminary approval:

That the general terms and conditions granted on which preliminary approval was granted shall not be changed, including but not limited to use requirements, layout and design standards for streets, curbs and sidewalks; lot size; yard dimensions and off-tract improvements; and, in the case of a site development plan, any requirements peculiar to the site development plan approval, except that nothing herein shall be construed to prevent Delanco from modifying by ordinance such general terms and conditions of preliminary approval as relate to public health and safety.

That the applicant may submit for final approval on or before the expiration date of preliminary approval the whole or a section or sections of the preliminary site development plan.

That the applicant may apply for and the approving Board may grant extensions of such preliminary approval for additional periods of at least one year but not to exceed a total extension of two years, provided that if the design standards have been revised herein, such revised standards may govern.

In the case of a site development plan for an area of 50 acres or more, the approving Board may grant the rights referred to herein for such period of time, longer than three years, as shall be determined by the approving Board to be reasonable taking into consideration:

The number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under preliminary approval;

Economic conditions; and,

The comprehensiveness of the development. The applicant may apply for thereafter and the Board may thereafter grant an extension to preliminary approval for such additional time period as shall be determined by the Board to be reasonable taking into consideration:

The number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under preliminary approval; and,

The potential number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area of the section or sections awaiting final approval; and

The conditions for preliminary approval; and

The standards prescribed by the Map Filing Law.

Upon submission to the Secretary of a complete application, the Board shall grant or deny approval within 45 days of the date of submission or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. Failure of the Board to act within 45 days shall constitute final approval. Whenever review or approval of the application by the Burlington County Planning Board is required, the Joint Land Use Board shall condition any approval that it grants upon timely receipt of a favorable report on the application by the Burlington County Planning Board or approval thereon within the required time period.

Where the final approval contains conditions, if all conditions are not completed within 180 days from the date of final approval or within such additional time as the Board shall allow, final approval shall lapse.

Effect of final approval

The zoning requirements applicable to the preliminary approval first granted and all other rights conferred upon the applicant whether, conditionally or otherwise, shall not be changed for a period of two years after the date on which the resolution of final approval is adopted; provided that in the case of a major subdivision, the rights conferred by this section shall expire if the plat has not been duly recorded within the time periods provided herein. If the applicant has followed the standards prescribed for final approval and, in the case of a subdivision, has duly recorded the plat as required, the Board may extend such period of protection by extensions of one year but there shall not be more than three extensions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the granting of final approval terminates the time period of preliminary approval for the section granted final approval.

In the case of a subdivision for a planned development of 50 acres or more or major conventional subdivision or site development plan for 150 acres or more, the Board may grant the rights referred to herein for such period of time, longer than two years, as shall be determined by the Board to be reasonable taking into consideration:

The number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under final plan approval;

Economic conditions; and

The comprehensiveness of the development. The applicant may apply for thereafter, and the Board may thereafter grant, the extension of final approval for such addition period of time as shall be determined by the Board to be reasonable taking into consideration:

The number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under final plan approval;

The number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area remaining to be developed;

[3]

Economic conditions; and

[4]

The comprehensiveness of the development.

Whenever the Joint Land Use Board grants an extension of final approval pursuant Subsection F(1) or (2) of this subsection and final approval has expired before the date on which the extension is granted, the extension shall begin on what would otherwise be the expiration date. The developer may apply for the extension either before or after what would otherwise be the expiration date.

The Joint Land Use Board shall grant an extension of final approval for a period to be determined by the Board but not exceeding one year from what would otherwise be the expiration date, if the developer provides to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board that the developer was barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from proceeding with the development because of delays in obtaining legally required approvals from other governmental entities and that the developer applied promptly for and diligently pursued these approvals. A developer shall apply for the extension before what would otherwise be the expiration date of final approval or the 91st day after the developer receives the last legally required approval from other governmental entities, whichever occurs later. An extension granted pursuant to this subsection shall not preclude the Joint Land Use Board from granting an extension according to Subsection F(1) or (2) of this subsection.

§ 91-14 Conditions of approval.

A Conditions binding. All conditions of any preliminary and final approval shall be binding upon all present and future owners, tenants, occupants, lessors, lessees, heirs, assignees, developers, contractors and subcontractors.

Failure of the property owner to install, maintain and/or utilize improvements as provided by the site plan approval shall constitute a violation of this chapter and shall be subject to enforcement procedures set forth herein.

§ 91-15 Conformity with requirements.

No development application in which a plat is required shall be accepted unless such plat conforms to the following requirements as to form, content and accompanying information and complies with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 46-23.9.9 et seq.
