Satisfactory evidence that at least one permanent
occupant of the unit is an age-qualified person; and

Form of evidence. Such evidence shall be in the
form of age certifications from each prospective permanent occupant
and copies of driver's licenses, birth certificates, or similarly
recognized documentation satisfactory to the developer or the Board.
[c]
Action by developer or Board. Neither the developer
nor the Board shall deem applications complete or grant approval of
an application unless and until all prospective permanent occupants
have submitted all required evidence as contemplated by this article.
The developer, the Board, or their respective designated agents shall
act on an application within 10 days of receipt of all required evidence
in accordance with the following:
[i]
If the prospective permanent occupants include

assign, or grant any unit until such person or owner submits an application
to and receives the approval of the developer or the Board, as the
case may be, pursuant to article.
[b]
Transfers on death. If a unit owner dies, with
or without a will, leaving as beneficiaries or heirs one or more persons
who are not age-qualified persons under this master deed, the restrictions
in this article are not deemed to restrict the ownership of the unit
by such beneficiaries or heirs. The beneficiaries or heirs, their
successors or assigns, shall not reside in the unit until the Board's

shall forward all documents obtained in connection with its annual
compliance review to the Township Attorney for the Township of Mount
Olive and such other state or federal agencies as may have jurisdiction.
[6]

of an application, an owner or permanent occupant, if an owner or
permanent occupant fails to qualify with regard to the terms of this
article, the permanent occupant shall vacate the unit within 90 days
of said failure to comply. Such permanent occupant shall be subject

[2]
A minimum front yard of 50 feet shall be provided on collector
streets.
[3]
A minimum setback of 100 feet shall be provided from all residential
district boundaries.
[4]
No setbacks are required for two or more contiguous parcels
planned as a unit to allow buildings on adjoining parcels to share
a party wall along their common lot line or, in the case of buildings
which do not share a party wall, to allow better and more flexible
siting of buildings than would otherwise be possible. Common parking
facilities, access drives and landscaped open space are also allowed.
[5]
Building heights may be increased to 60 feet for a building
or portion of a building more than 300 feet from a residential district
boundary.
(e)

FTZ: Foreign Trade Zone Special District. The Foreign Trade Zone
consists of four districts as shown on the Zoning Map. The purpose
of this overall zone is to make provision for the special needs of
a Foreign Trade Zone and linked manufacturing, warehousing and office
activities in a manner that will preserve important natural features
and achieve superior design by offering flexibility in site layout
and creating an attractive working environment with suitable community
facilities, shops and transient accommodations.
(1)
Permitted principal uses shall be as follows:
(a)
FTZ-1, FTZ-2 and FTZ-3 Districts:
[1]
The principal uses permitted in the G-1 Zone.
[2]
Restaurants providing table and/or counter service and primarily
oriented and designed to serve businesses, employees and business
visitors in the area of the Foreign Trade Zone Special District.
[3]
Public uses.
[4]
Antennas for wireless telecommunications services.
[Added 10-27-2009 by Ord. No. 22-2009]
(2)
Permitted accessory uses shall be as follows:
(3)
Conditional uses shall be as follows:
(a)
FTZ-1, FTZ-2 and FTZ-3 Districts:
[1]
The uses permitted as principal uses or conditional uses, except billboards which are subject to the requirements set forth below, in the C-1 and C-2 Zones, provided that such uses serve as support uses to the FTZ-1, FTZ-2 and FTZ-3 uses. All such uses are subject to the provisions of § 550-14 and the conditional use standards applicable to the C-1 and C-2 Zone Districts in § 550-103A(3)(a) and (b) and (4). In the FTZ-1 and FTZ-3 Districts, such uses shall only be permitted along collector streets. Restaurants shall not be subject to the collector street requirement.
[Amended 7-25-2017 by Ord. No. 17-2017]
[2]
Commercial radio and communications towers.
(4)
Conditional use standards shall be as follows:
(a)
For communications towers for radio, pager and cellular phone
transmission, the minimum lot area of the district shall apply. The
maximum height of a tower, excluding antenna(s), shall be 150 feet.
A minimum distance equal to twice the height of the tower shall be
maintained between the base of the tower and a residential district
or residential use. All equipment buildings/structures must be screened
with year-round landscaping berms, fencing or suitable materials subject
to the approving authority.
(5)
Bulk regulations shall be as follows:
(a)
See attached Schedule of Limitations.[12]
[12]
Editor's Note: The Schedule of Limitations is included as an attachment to this chapter.
(b)
Site disturbance shall be adjusted in accordance with the critical area provisions in § 550-39 of this chapter, except that in the FTZ-4 District, the total floor area shall not exceed 4,138,700 square feet.
(c)
Parking structures shall not be included in the calculation
of floor area ratio.
(d)
In the FTZ-1, FTZ-3 and FTZ-4 Districts, a minimum front yard
of one foot for each two feet of building height shall be provided,
but not less than 50 feet shall be provided on collector streets,
and not less than 25 feet shall be provided on interior streets; and
a minimum setback of 25 feet shall be provided along all zoning district
boundaries.
(e)
In all subdistricts, a minimum setback of 75 feet shall be provided along Routes 80, 46 and 206. These required front yards or setbacks from major highways shall be landscaped with grass or ground cover, trees and shrubs and may be crossed with access drives and include parking areas landscaped in accordance with § 550-56 of this chapter provided that no parking shall be located within 25 feet of a street line.
(f)
In the FTZ-1 or FTZ-3 Districts, where a plan is submitted for
the development of two or more contiguous parcels as a unit, the Planning
Board, in its site plan review, may waive or reduce side or rear yard
requirements either to allow buildings not more than two stories in
height on adjoining parcels to share a party wall along their common
lot line or, in the case of buildings which do not share a party wall,
to allow better and more flexible siting of the buildings than would
otherwise be possible while maintaining adequate separation in line
with the intent of the yard regulations. Such development plans may
also provide for common parking facilities, access drives and landscaped
open space.
(g)
In the FTZ-1 and FTZ-3 Districts, where access requirements so restrict the depth or width of a lot that a five-acre minimum lot size would require the lot's other dimension to be more than twice the restricted dimension, the required lot area may be reduced so that the other dimension need not be more than twice the restricted dimension. If lot width is two times or greater than lot depth, then front yard setback of 25 feet from a collector street shall be permitted, provided that no parking stall shall be allowed in the front yard of the building. Lots of less than five acres are subject to lot size averaging as provided in Subsection G(5)(i) following.
(h)
In the FTZ-1 and FTZ-3 Districts, lot size averaging will be
permitted for lots accommodating office or industrial uses on development
tracts of 25 acres or more. Under the lot size averaging provisions,
individual lots may have less than the minimum area required by the
minimum lot size provisions but in no case less than 2.0 acres. Other
lots will then be required to have greater areas than required by
the minimum lot size provisions to balance those with lesser areas.
In no event shall the total number of lots for development be increased
so that it exceeds the number permitted by the applicable provisions
of the bulk regulations set forth in the Schedule of Limitations.
(i)
Lot coverage and, where applicable, floor area ratios may be
averaged within each district. The purpose is to permit flexibility
in the siting of buildings in order to take advantage of topographical
conditions, to achieve better design relationships of buildings and
open spaces and to preserve important natural features. Therefore,
the maximum permitted lot coverage and maximum permitted floor area
ratio, as stated in the Schedule of Limitations, may be applied to
the tract as a whole, provided that such tract is located within one
FTZ District, subject to the following limitations:
[1]
In the FTZ-1 and FTZ-3 Districts, each lot of less than five
acres shall have at least 20% of its area uncovered and either landscaped
or maintained in its natural state, and each lot of five acres or
more shall have at least 40% of its area uncovered and either landscaped
or maintained in its natural state.
[2]
In the FTZ-3 District, the floor area ratio on any one lot shall
not exceed 0.6.
[3]
Existing rights-of-way shall not be counted as lot area when
calculating lot coverage.
[4]
All lot coverage and/or floor area ratio averaging for each
development plan submitted shall summarize the provisions in table
or map form; prior lot sizes and floor area ratio averaging for each
lot shall be indicated for the district where allowance or transfer
have been permitted, and such map or table shall be recorded with
the County Clerk.
(6)
Special regulations.
(a)
In all subdistricts, notwithstanding the provisions of § 550-56, where either the lot size is greater than 7.5 acres or the gross floor area to be built on an individual lot is greater than 90,000 square feet, 1/3 of the required parking spaces may be located more than 300 feet from the entrance of the building being served if there is adequate provision for circulation between parking facilities and building entrances.
(b)
The Planning Board may, at the request of an applicant in the Foreign Trade Zone Special District, agree that the requirements of § 550-28 relating to environmental impact reports may be satisfied by the applicant's preparation of one or more comprehensive, generic or topical environmental impact reports; or a combination thereof, for the whole or part of the special district.
[1]
Such reports may be prepared at any time prior to final site
plan application or approval. If any such impact reports are prepared
and approved, the Planning Board shall waive any further environmental
impact report requirement which would otherwise be necessary in connection
with individual site plan applications and approvals within the area
covered by such reports, provided that all appropriate environmental
issues have been addressed. Where there are significant environmental
issues attendant to the development of an individual parcel which
have not been addressed in such reports, the applicant shall submit,
at the time of applying for final site plan approval, such supplemental
information as is necessary to describe and assess previously undescribed
significant issues.
[2]
For those projects in the Foreign Trade Zone Special District
which require compliance with federal or state environmental impact
statement or report laws or regulations, materials prepared pursuant
thereto shall be submitted to the Planning Board and, upon formal
acceptance thereof, the requirements for environmental impact reports
related to the matters covered therein shall be waived.
[3]
The terms "comprehensive," "generic" and "topical" are commonly
used in environmental law and, for the purposes of this chapter, have
the following meanings:
[a]
"Comprehensive environmental impact reports" describe
all of the specific impacts which can reasonably be anticipated from
a group of individual buildings, actions or uses of property or buildings.
[b]
"Generic environmental impact reports" describe
the general impacts of similar kinds of buildings or structures (e.g.,
warehouses, manufacturing plants or offices).
[c]
"Topical environmental impact reports" describe
conditions and impacts related to specific environmental issues (e.g.,
air or water pollution, soil conservation or wildlife issues).
(c)
All area lighting shall be provided in accordance with § 550-53 entitled "Lighting" except that the light source may exceed a height of 18 feet but may not exceed a height of 30 feet and that in the FTZ-1 and FTZ-2 Districts, the maximum light intensity provided at the ground level may exceed the average maximum of 0.5 footcandle over the entire area but may not exceed two footcandles within 50 feet of buildings and one footcandle in all other areas.
(7)

[2]
Effect and duration of approval.
[a]
The planned unit residential development shall
be developed in accordance with the general development plan approved
by the Planning Board notwithstanding any provision of N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1
et seq., or of any ordinance or regulation adopted pursuant thereto
after the effective date of the approval. The general terms and conditions
upon which the general development plan was granted, including but
not limited to on-site or off-site requirements, shall not be changed,
unless application for modification is made by the developer and approved
by the Planning Board pursuant to the requirements of this section.
[b]
The term of the effect of the general development
plan approval shall be determined by the Planning Board using the
guidelines set forth in Subsection G(7)(k)[2][c] below, except that
the term of the effect of the approval shall not exceed 20 years from
the date upon which the developer received final approval of the first
section of the planned unit residential development.
[c]
In making its determination regarding the duration
of the effect of approval of the general development plan, the Planning
Board shall consider: the number of dwelling units to be constructed;
prevailing economic conditions; the timing schedule to be followed
in completing the development and the likelihood of its fulfillment;
the developer's capability of completing the proposed development;
and the contents of the general development plan and any conditions
which the Planning Board attaches to the approval thereof.
[3]
Modification of proposed schedule. 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 of the modification,
take into consideration prevailing economic and market conditions,
anticipated and actual needs for residential units within the Township
and the region, and the availability and capacity of public facilities
to accommodate the proposed development.
[4]
Variations in location of land uses or increase in density.
The developer shall be required to gain the prior approval of the
Planning Board if, after approval of the general development plan,
the developer wishes to make any variation in the location of land
uses within the planned unit residential development or to increase
the density of residential development in any section of the planned
unit residential development.
[5]
Amendment or revision of general development plan; allowable
reductions within original approval.
[a]
Except as provided hereunder, once a general development
plan has been approved by the Planning Board, it may be amended or
revised only upon application by the developer and approval by the
Planning Board.
[b]
A developer, without violating the terms of the
general development plan approval, may, in undertaking any section
of the planned unit development, reduce the number of residential
units by no more than 15% or reduce the residential density floor
area ratio by no more than 15%; provided, however, that a developer
may not reduce the number of residential units to be provided pursuant

[6]
Notice of completion of section of development; notice by municipality
of nonfulfillment; hearing, termination of approval; causes.
[a]
Upon 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 obligations 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 or every nonresidential structure,
as set forth in the approved general development plan and pursuant
to Section 15 of the State Uniform Construction Code Statute (N.J.S.A.
52:57D-133). 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.
[b]
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.
[c]
In the event that a developer who has general development
plan approval does not apply for preliminary site plan 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.
[7]
Termination of approval upon completion of development. 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 structure 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.
H.
M Mining District. The purpose of this district is to allow present
mining to continue as a permitted use rather than as a nonconforming
use. This zoning district recognizes the unique operations within
the Township due to the presence of natural resources suitable for
mining but, at the same time, recognizes the unique necessity for
public regulations brought about by the existence and excavation of
these natural resources and their processing in those areas which
are currently being actively mined and used for processing.
(2)
Permitted accessory uses shall be as follows:
(a)
Customary accessory uses such as truck parking, open storage
of the raw materials, storage buildings, guardhouses, screening, milling,
mixing and batching.
(4)
Conditional use standards shall be as follows:
(a)
For communications towers for radio, pager and cellular phone
transmission, the minimum lot area of the district shall apply. The
maximum height of a tower, excluding antenna(s), shall be 100 feet.
A minimum distance equal to twice the height of the tower shall be
maintained between the base of the tower and a residential district
or residential use. All equipment buildings/structures must be screened
with year-round landscaping, berms, fencing or suitable materials
subject to the approving authority.
(5)
Bulk regulations shall be as follows:
I.
(1)
Purpose.
(a)
The purpose of the Professional Business Zone district is to
allow for development and redevelopment of those properties situated
along the westbound lanes of U.S. Highway 46 between the intersection
of Netcong Road and Route 46 to the east and the intersection of Cove
Street and Route 46 to the west. The Professional Business Zone is
designed to promote appropriate development and redevelopment opportunities
within this one-mile corridor in recognition of the requirements for
appropriate access to state highways pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-38b(10).
The Professional Business Zone also recognizes the unique character
of this district as it adjoins established residential neighborhoods
in the Budd Lake section of the Township.
(b)
The Professional Business Zone is created to promote a new land
use pattern which does not intrude upon the established residential
neighborhoods in its intensity of activity and scale of buildings
or structures. Site improvement standards within the District will
serve to provide better traffic circulation on and off the highway,
will reduce impervious coverage thereby reducing stormwater runoff
and nonpoint source pollution at discharge points.
(c)
The Professional Business Zone implements an objective of the
Master Plan Reexamination Report adopted by the Mount Olive Planning
Board on September 28, 1995, wherein modification to the existing
commercial zoning was recommended.
