Redevelopment district areas, as shown on the City "Redevelopment
Areas" map, have been so designated by the City Council under N.J.S.A.
40:55C-1 et seq., and are subject to the specific redevelopment regulations
as adopted by the City Council for the particular redevelopment area.
These specific regulations take precedence over the underlying zone
district regulations. The applicable regulations for each redevelopment
area may be obtained from the Office of the City Clerk and from the
Planning Board.
Other provisions of this chapter notwithstanding, in any district,
the entire lot, except for areas covered by buildings or surfaced
as parking, recreation or service areas, shall be seeded, sodded or
planted with ground cover and suitably landscaped to include trees,
shrubs, edging materials, stones, rocks or gravel, in accordance with
an overall landscape plan consistent with the natural surroundings
and neighborhood. All landscaping shall be properly maintained throughout
the life of any use on said lot.
Swimming pools shall meet all of the requirements of an applicable
ordinance of the City. Public swimming pools shall meet the appropriate
design standards as set forth by the Uniform Construction Code of
the State of New Jersey, and shall comply with approved bacteriological
standards which may be promulgated by regulations issued by the City
and/or County Board of Health, the State of New Jersey or other authority
having jurisdiction. No swimming pool shall be located, constructed,
or maintained on any lot or land area, except in conformity with the
City's Swimming Pool Ordinance and the following additional requirements:
A. A swimming pool shall be a permitted accessory use and no swimming
shall be permitted unless it complies with the requirements of this
chapter.
B. A swimming pool and its water surface shall be counted in computing
maximum impervious coverage.
C. No loudspeakers or amplifying devices shall be permitted which can
be heard beyond the lot lines of the lot on which said pool is located.
D. Swimming pools shall be located on the same lot as the principal
use.
E. A swimming pool and its water surface shall be set back a minimum
of five feet from any side and rear property line.
F. A swimming pool shall be a permitted accessory use and no swimming
pool shall be permitted unless it complies with the requirements of
this article.
G. Said use shall be appropriately screened and fenced to minimize adverse
impact on adjoining properties.
H. No existing or hereafter constructed swimming pool shall be located
on a lot unless there is a residence on such lot.
I. No swimming pool shall be hereafter constructed, installed, relocated
or reconstructed unless the pool itself and any apron, accessory building,
structure and equipment are all located at least 10 feet from all
property lines and at least 30 feet from the property line of any
street bordering the property in question.
J. Swimming pools are prohibited in front and side yards.
K. All swimming pool equipment shall be stored in an enclosed structure
or otherwise obscured from view by landscaping and/or fencing.

No more than one commercial vehicle with a gross vehicle weight
of less than 10,000 pounds may be parked, stored, or garaged at any
dwelling unit or on any public street within the residential districts
of the City.
Community residences for the developmentally disabled, community shelters for victims of domestic violence, community residences for the terminally ill and community residences for persons with head injuries, all as defined in Article

in which it is located.
C. The following design requirements shall be incorporated within the
submitted site plan:
(1)
Community residences shall have immediate access to public transportation
services or, in the alternative, provide occupants with a van or equivalent
transportation service; and
(2)
Community residences shall resemble single-family detached dwellings
in appearance.
D. All community residences shall have 3/4 parking spaces for each resident
thereof. The Planning Board shall give due consideration to provisions
for visitation and the number of resident staff in order to ensure
that there are ample parking facilities. Therefore, the Planning Board
may, at its discretion, require more parking spaces than 3/4 spaces
per resident, or may, if the evidence so warrants, waive strict adherence
to this standard. Moreover, a sufficient off-street area shall be
provided for the pick-up and discharge of residents by vans or other
vehicles servicing the facility.
E. The Planning Board may deny approval to any proposed community residence
which would be located within 500 feet of an existing community residence;
provided further, however, that the Planning Board may deny the issuance
of any additional such permits if the number of persons, other than
resident staff, within all such residences in the City exceeds 700
persons, or 1% of the population of the City, whichever is greater.
F. Community residences shall be licensed by the State of New Jersey.
Off-street parking shall be provided for and continuously maintained
in accordance with the terms and conditions of any land use approval.
In all cases, whether governed by such approval or not, no vehicle
shall be parked on any lawn area or other area not designated for
parking. In a planned residential development, no vehicles shall be
parked in any area not designated, on the approved plans, for such
parking.
