[Adopted 5-9-2013]
A.
As identified in the Borough of Allendale's housing element adopted
December 29, 2008, and granted third-round certification by the Council
on Affordable Housing (COAH), the purpose of this residence zone district
is to provide for the development of certain market-rate single-family
detached units as well as to construct two affordable housing units
in satisfaction of Allendale's affordable housing obligation under
N.J.S.A. 52:27D-301 et seq., and N.J.A.C. 5:93 et seq. The ML-7 District
provides a compatible single-family residence district to the surrounding
single-family residential zone districts. This zone promotes the purposes
of zoning as identified in the N.J.S.A. 40:55D-2 et seq., safeguarding
the public health, safety, morals and general welfare by providing,
among others, the establishment of appropriate population densities
and concentrations that will contribute to the well-being of persons,
neighborhoods, communities, regions and preservation of the environment.
This zone also seeks to ensure that the development of individual
municipalities does not conflict with the development and general
welfare of neighboring municipalities.
B.
The creation of this zone furthers the Borough of Allendale Master
Plan goals, including, among others, to preserve and protect the suburban
character of the existing one- and two-family residential neighborhoods.
In addition, the proposed single-family density would create a lesser
burden on adjacent roadways at this location due to the limited sight
distance on the adjacent frontage roadway of East Crescent Avenue
and the intersection of East Crescent Avenue and Arlton Avenue.
This zone is intended to provide for no more than a total of
10 detached single-family housing units, of which eight shall be market-rate
units and two shall be affordable housing units constructed on site,
or in lieu of construction, payment for two off-site/in-town affordable
units, which payment shall be in the amount set forth in the Borough's
applicable ordinance and COAH regulations, and any amendments or supplements
thereto.
Any use other than those listed in § 270-159.2 is prohibited.
A.
Minimum lot area. A lot used or intended to be used for residential
purposes shall have an area of not less than 15,000 square feet located
within a distance of 150 feet from the street upon which it fronts
or, for corner lots, from both streets.
B.
Minimum lot width. A lot used or intended to be used for residential
purposes shall have an average width of 85 feet within 150 feet of
the street lot line. The shortest distance between side lot lines
shall not be less than 60 feet therefrom, measured along a line parallel
with the street lot line and 35 feet therefrom.
C.
Setbacks and building height limitations. The setback requirements for single-family residential lots shall be subject to the bulk and building height regulations of the A-Residence Zone District in § 270-57, except for the criteria for minimum lot area and lot width as noted herein.
[Amended 12-28-2017 by Ord. No. 17-17]
D.
Impervious surfaces requirements. The impervious surface requirements for the single-family residential lots herein shall be subject to the regulations set forth in § 270-62.
Prior to the issuance of any construction permit, the appropriate
land use agency of the Borough shall review and approve a final subdivision
plan for the entire project in accordance with the provisions of the
Land Subdivision and Site Plan Ordinance and all other applicable
ordinances of the Borough of Allendale.
