Amendments to zoning district boundaries shall be entered on said
map and a record of such amendments noted therein.

The Zoning District Map shall be amended to incorporate the establishment

Ord. No. 01-4 is adopted to resolve the inconsistencies in favor
of the Master Plan of the Borough of Elmwood Park:
(a)
Block 1210, Lot 2, in its entirety shall be rezoned to be located
into the general commercial zone of the Borough of Elmwood Park. The
Zoning Map of the Borough of Elmwood Park shall be revised to reflect
and incorporate this change.
(b)
The Owner of Block 1201, Lot 2 shall, prior to the development
of the portion to be included into the general commercial (CG) Zone,
buffer said lands and premises from all residential zones by appropriate
buffering to be approved by the Planning Board of the Borough of Elmwood

the AH-2 District shall encompass all of Lot 4.01 in Block 1201 as

and AH-2 Zones and by adding the two new zones to the list of zones
on the Map.
[Ord. No. 10-15 § 2]
7.
The location of the proposed AEO Zone is the result of an analysis
of existing land uses in Elmwood Park and surrounding municipalities
in accordance with N.J.S.A. 2C:34-7. This law requires that adult
entertainment uses shall not be located within 1,000 feet of the following
types of land uses: existing sexually oriented businesses, places
of worship, elementary and secondary schools, school bus stops, public
recreational uses, hospitals, child care centers and areas zoned for
residential use. The properties and portions thereof which are identified
on the map as the AEO Zone are those that meet all of the criteria
set forth by the State statute. (The map may be found on file in the
office of the Borough Clerk.)
[Ord. No. 11-05 § 4]

Pursuant to Ordinance No. 2015-13, the Zoning District Map is revised
to add the N.C. Neighborhood Commercial District to all current C.L.

East 53rd street and East 54th Street.
[Ord. No. 2015-13]
