[Amended 2-8-2011 by Ord. No. 02-11; 9-27-2016 by Ord. No. 22-16; 6-13-2017 by Ord. No. 10-17]
The boundaries of all zoning districts set forth in this chapter
are shown on a map entitled "Zoning Map, Township of Jackson, Ocean
County, New Jersey," prepared by Remington, Vernick & Vena Engineers,
Township Planner, dated May 12, 2017, which map is hereby made a part
of this chapter. A copy of the Zoning Map is on file in the Office
of the Township Clerk.
A.
The boundaries of zoning districts shall be shown on the Zoning Map. Where uncertainty exists with respect to the zone boundaries of any of the zoning districts, as listed above in § 244-42 of this chapter and as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
(1)
Along streets and highways. Where district boundaries are indicated
as approximately following the center lines of streets or highways,
street lines or highway right-of-way lines, such center lines shall
be construed to be such boundaries.
(2)
Along lot lines. Where district boundaries are so indicated that
they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed
to be said boundaries.
(3)
District lines parallel to streets and highways. Where district boundaries
are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center
lines or street lines of streets or the center lines or right-of-way
lines of highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as
being parallel thereto and at such distances therefrom as indicated
on the Zoning Map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be
determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.
(4)
Along streams, lakes or other bodies of water. Where the boundary
of a district follows a stream, lake or other body of water, the boundary
shall be deemed to be at the limit of the jurisdiction of the Township
unless otherwise indicated. Where a district boundary is shown as
following a stream, the boundary shall be the center line of the main
channel of such stream, and the boundary shall be deemed to be changed
automatically if the main channel of the stream should change or be
changed by natural or artificial means, if such new center line is
no farther from the old center line than 20 feet at any point.
(5)
Vacating of streets. Whenever any street or public right-of-way is
vacated by official action, the zoning districts adjoining the side
of such public way shall be automatically extended to include the
right-of-way thus vacated, which shall be subject to all regulations
of the extended district or districts. Where the vacated right-of-way
is bounded on either side by more than one district, the former center
line of the right-of-way shall determine the extension of each district.
(6)
Map dimensions. In the absence of specific distances being indicated
on the Zoning Map or as specified in any of the above, the distance
shall be determined by using the map scale.
B.
Where a zoning district boundary line divides a lot other than by
following a stream, street or railroad, any use permitted in either
district may be extended not more than 20 feet into the adjacent district.
A use permitted in the zoning district so extended shall thereafter
be a permitted use in the extended area. A zoning district line, however,
shall be altered only once by utilizing this subsection of this chapter,
after which the lot use shall be governed by the regulations of the
zoning district in which it is located after the zoning district boundary
line adjustment.
C.
The exact location of any disputed zoning district boundary line
shall be determined by the administrative officer. This decision may
be appealed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
[Added 11-9-2010 by Ord. No. 28-10]
A.
Intent and purpose. The governing body of the Township of Jackson,
recognizing the extensive riparian lands, streams, lakes, surface
water bodies, wetlands, and woodlands which contain vegetation and
habitats, including habitats for many threatened and endangered species,
and which are found to exist on significant numbers of acreage of
the remaining undeveloped lands within the Township of Jackson; and
recognizing and anticipating the significant impacts on these lands
resulting from development, which impacts are mitigated by comprehensive
regulations as described and implemented by the New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection (N.J.A.C. 7:1 through 7:62), the Pinelands
Commission and the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan (N.J.A.C.
7:50), and the New Jersey State Development and Redevelopment Plan
(N.J.A.C. 17:32); and, in furtherance of the Township of Jackson's
commitment to preserve, conserve, and protect those environmentally
critical lands which support and affect the watersheds, aquifers,
and environmental integrity of lands which are contiguous and extend
outside of the Township of Jackson; and in order to provide sound
use of the land and appropriate land densities as provided for in
N.J.S.A. 40:55D-2; identifies by the Conservation Zone Overlay those
lands which are therefore affected and are therefore subject to the
following:
B.
Applicability.
(1)
All properties where a portion or all of the lot is included within
the Conservation Zone Overlay boundaries, as determined and shown
as shaded areas overlaid on the Jackson Township Zoning Map, and further
clarified on the Conservation Plan Map.
(2)
Modifications to this zone will be adjusted only as a result of a
valid NJDEP letter of interpretation or permit delineating wetlands,
streams, buffers, transition areas and/or identifying critical habitats
or the lack thereof.
C.
Zone regulations.
(1)
All properties which fall within the Conservation Zone Overlay shall
be regulated by the underlying zone or district within which they
are found, except that the following additional requirements shall
apply.
(a)
All applications for major site plan or major subdivision approvals
shall be required to submit a valid NJDEP letter of interpretation
and/or permit which identifies all freshwater wetlands and wetlands
buffers/transition areas on the property or properties included in
the application before the application can be deemed complete.
(b)
All wetlands, wetlands buffers, transition areas, and riparian
buffers must be properly identified and delineated on all submitted
plans for major site plan or major subdivision approvals before the
application can be deemed complete.
(c)
All wetlands, as identified and verified, pursuant to the LOI (letter of interpretation) required before any application can be deemed complete, as stated in Subsection C(1)(a) above, shall be excluded from the gross acreage for purposes of calculating gross residential density and for calculating maximum lot coverage (building and impervious) for nonresidential developments, except for commercial and industrial properties for the term of economic priority established in Subsection D below.
[Amended 2-8-2011 by Ord. No. 09-11]
(d)
All required setbacks shall be taken from the wetlands limits pursuant to the LOI (letter of interpretation) required before any application can be deemed complete as stated in Subsection C(1)(a) above, and not the property line as otherwise allowed, except for commercial and industrial properties for the term of economic priority established in Subsection D below.
[Amended 2-8-2011 by Ord. No. 09-11]
D.
The term of economic priority is a period of five years from January
1, 2011, through December 31, 2015, or such term as otherwise extended
or shortened by the governing body, in which commercial and industrial
developments shall be exempt as described above.

to lot and street lines. No structure, except as otherwise provided
herein, activity, storage of materials, decks, patio or parking of
vehicles shall be permitted in a buffer area. The location and design
of buffers shall consider the use of the portion of the property being
screened; the distance between the use and the adjoining property
line; differences in elevation; the type of buffer, such as dense
planting, existing woods, a wall or fence; buffer height; buffer width;
and other combinations of man-made and natural features. The buffer
shall be designed, planted, graded, landscaped and developed with
the general guideline that the closer a use or activity is to a property
line or the more intense the use, the more effective the buffer area
must be in obscuring light and vision and reducing noise beyond the
lot.
(3)
The preservation of all natural wooded tracts shall be an integral
part of all plans and may be calculated as part of the required buffer
area, provided that the growth is of a density and the area has sufficient
width to serve the purpose of a buffer, as determined by the Planning

facts and conclusions:
(a)
That departures by the proposed development from zoning regulations
otherwise applicable to the subject property conform to the zoning
ordinance standards for mixed residential development.
(b)
That the proposals for maintenance and conservation of the common
open space are reliable, and the amount, location and purpose of the
common open space are adequate.
(c)
That provisions, through the physical design of the proposed
development, for public services, control over vehicular and pedestrian
traffic, and the amenities of light and air, recreation and visual
enjoyment are adequate.
(d)
That the proposed development will not have an unreasonably
adverse impact upon the area in which it is proposed to be established.

In the case of a proposed development that contemplates construction
over a period of years, that the terms and conditions intended to
protect the interests of the public and of the residents, occupants
and owners of the proposed development in the total completion of
the development are adequate.
(7)
In addition, the Board may set forth those conditions which
it deems necessary to protect the interests of the general public
and the residents of the mixed residential development. Such conditions
shall be predicated on the following criteria:
(a)
That each stage of development shall include required open space
in proportion to that part of the total residential units in the development.
Such open space shall include both recreation and conservation uses
accessible to the resident population within the development.
(b)
That the size and timing of successive stages of a mixed residential
development shall be conditioned upon the availability and provision
of suitable capacity of facilities such as arterial highways, primary

water, stormwater drainage, and other services whose capacities must
be expanded as a result of the development.
(8)
General development plan; timing schedule modification. In the
event that the developer seeks to modify the proposed timing schedule,
such modification shall require the approval of the Planning Board.
The Planning Board shall, in deciding whether or not to grant approval

market conditions, anticipated and actual need for residential units
within Jackson Township and the region, and the availability and capacity
of public facilities to accommodate the proposed development.
(9)
General development plan hearing on modifications required.
(a)
The developer may make amendments or revisions to the general
development plan. However, the developer shall be required to gain
the prior approval of the Planning Board if, after approval of the
mixed residential development, the developer wishes to make any variation
in the location of land uses or to increase the density of residential
development.
(b)
Any variation in the location of land uses or increase in density
proposed in reaction to a negative decision of or condition of development
approval imposed by the Pinelands Commission pursuant to P.L. 1979,
c. 111 (N.J.S.A. 13:18A-1 et seq.), or Department of Environmental
Protection pursuant to P.L. 1979, c. 111 (N.J.S.A. 13:18A-1 et seq.),
shall be approved by the Planning Board if the developer can demonstrate,
to the satisfaction of the Planning Board, that the variation being
proposed is a direct result of such determination by the Pinelands
Commission or the Department of Environmental Protection, as the case
may be.
(10)
General development plan on modifications not required. Once
a general plan has been approved by the Planning Board, it may be
amended or revised only upon application by the developer approved
by the Planning Board.
(11)
Certification upon completion; failure to complete or comply;
termination of approval.
(a)
Upon the completion of each section of the development as set
forth in the approved general development plan, the developer shall
notify the administrative officer, by certified mail, as evidence
that the developer is fulfilling his obligation under the approved
plan. For the purposes of this section, "completion" of any section
of the development shall mean that the developer has acquired a certificate
of occupancy for every residential unit as set forth in the approved
general development plan and pursuant to Section 15 of P.L. 1975,
c. 217 (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-133).
[1]
If the Township does not receive such notification
at the completion of any section of the development, the Township
shall notify the developer, by certified mail, in order to determine
whether or not the terms of the approved plan are being complied with.
[2]
If a developer does not complete any section of
the development within two years of the date provided for in the approved
plan, or if at any time the Township has cause to believe that the
developer is not fulfilling his obligations pursuant to the approved
plan, the Township shall notify the developer, by certified mail,
and the developer shall have 30 days within which to give evidence
that he is fulfilling his obligations pursuant to the approved plan.
The Township thereafter shall conduct a hearing to determine whether
or not the developer is in violation of the approved plan. If, after
such a hearing, the Township finds good cause to terminate the approval,
it shall provide written notice of same to the developer and the approval
shall be terminated 30 days thereafter.
(b)
In the event that a developer who has general development plan
approval does not apply for preliminary approval for the planned development
that is the subject of that general development plan approval within
five years of the date upon which the general development plan has
been approved by the Planning Board, the Township shall have cause
to terminate the approval.
(12)
General development plan satisfactory completion. In the event
that a development that is the subject of an approved general development
plan is completed before the end of the term of the approval, the
approval shall terminate with the completion of the development. For
the purposes of this section, a development shall be considered complete
on the date upon which a certificate of occupancy has been issued
for the final residential unit in the last section of the development
in accordance with the timing schedule set forth in the approved general
development plan and the developer has fulfilled all obligations pursuant
to the approval.
(13)
General development plan approval procedure. The Planning Board
shall grant or deny general development plan approval within 95 days
after submission of a complete application to the administrative officer,
or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant.
Failure of the Planning Board to act within the period prescribed
shall constitute general development plan approval of the planned
development.

pursuant to the Municipal Land Use Law, P.L. 1975, c. 291 (N.J.S.A.
40:55D-1 et seq.) may submit a general development plan to the planning
board prior to the granting of preliminary approval of that development
by the Planning Board.
(2)
The general development plan shall set forth the permitted number
of dwelling units and the residential density ratio for the planned
retirement community, in its entirety, according to a schedule which
sets forth the timing of the various sections of the development.

(a)
That departures by the proposed development from zoning regulations
otherwise applicable to the subject property conform to the zoning
ordinance standards for planned retirement community development.
(b)
That the proposals for maintenance and conservation of the common
open space are reliable, and the amount, location and purpose of the

that the developer seeks to modify the proposed timing schedule, such
modification shall require the approval of the Planning Board. The
Planning Board shall, in deciding whether or not to grant approval
of the modification, take into consideration prevailing economic and
market conditions, anticipated and actual need for residential units
within Jackson Township and the region, and the availability and capacity
of public facilities to accommodate the proposed development.
(10)
General development plan hearing on modifications required.
(a)
The developer may make amendments or revisions to the general
development plan. However, the developer shall be required to gain
the prior approval of the Planning Board if, after approval of the
planned retirement community, the developer wishes to make any variation
in the location of land uses or to increase the density of residential
development.
(b)
Any variation in the location of land uses or increase in density
proposed in reaction to a negative decision of or condition of development
approval imposed by the Pinelands Commission pursuant to P.L. 1979,
c. 111 (N.J.S.A. 13:18A-1 et seq.), or Department of Environmental
Protection pursuant to P.L. 1979, c. 111 (N.J.S.A. 13:18A-1 et seq.),
shall be approved by the Planning Board if the developer can demonstrate,
to the satisfaction of the Planning Board, that the variation being
proposed is a direct result of such determination by the Pinelands
Commission or the Department of Environmental Protection, as the case
may be.
(11)
General development plan on modifications not required. Once
a general plan has been approved by the Planning Board, it may be
amended or revised only upon application by the developer approved
by the Planning Board.
(12)
Certification upon completion; failure to complete or comply;
termination of approval.
(a)
Upon the completion of each section of the development as set
forth in the approved general development plan, the developer shall
notify the administrative officer, by certified mail, as evidence
that the developer is fulfilling his obligation under the approved
plan. For the purposes of this section, "completion" of any section
of the development shall mean that the developer has acquired a certificate
of occupancy for every residential unit as set forth in the approved
general development plan and pursuant to Section 15 of P.L. 1975,
c. 217 (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-133).
[1]
If the Township does not receive such notification at the completion
of any section of the development, the Township shall notify the developer,
by certified mail, in order to determine whether or not the terms
of the approved plan are being complied with.
[2]
If a developer does not complete any section of the development
within eight months of the date provided for in the approved plan,
or if at any time the Township has cause to believe that the developer
is not fulfilling his obligations pursuant to the approved plan, the
Township shall notify the developer, by certified mail, and the developer
shall have 10 days within which to give evidence that he is fulfilling
his obligations pursuant to the approved plan. The Township thereafter
shall conduct a hearing to determine whether or not the developer
is in violation of the approved plan. If, after such a hearing, the
Township finds good cause to terminate the approval, it shall provide
written notice of same to the developer and the approval shall be
terminated 30 days thereafter.
(b)
In the event that a developer who has general development plan
approval does not apply for preliminary approval for the planned development
which is the subject of that general development plan approval within
five years of the date upon which the general development plan has
been approved by the Planning Board, the Township shall have cause
to terminate the approval.
(13)
General development plan satisfactory completion. In the event
that a development which is the subject of an approved general development
plan is completed before the end of the term of the approval, the
approval shall terminate with the completion of the development. For
the purposes of this section, a development shall be considered complete
on the date upon which a certificate of occupancy has been issued
for the final residential unit in the last section of the development
in accordance with the timing schedule set forth in the approved general
development plan and the developer has fulfilled all of his obligations
pursuant to the approval.
(14)
General development plan approval procedure.
(a)
The Planning Board shall grant or deny general development plan
approval within 95 days after submission of a complete application
to the administrative officer, or within such further time as may
be consented to by the applicant. Failure of the Planning Board to
act within the period prescribed shall constitute general development
plan approval of the planned development.
