No. 57-19]
A.
Purpose and intent. The intent of the I-7 Industrial Overlay District
is to recognize the presence of two industrial properties on Troy
Hills Road, adjacent to the M&E railroad line. These uses have
existed for many years and are not expected to cease operations for
the foreseeable future. The overlay zone is intended to promote upgraded
conditions from those which now exist and establish standards that
would provide guidance to the Planning Board or Board of Adjustment
in reviewing any development applications for these properties. At
such time, if any, that the existing buildings are demolished and
the properties are redeveloped, it is intended that the underlying
zoning district standard would apply.
B.
Permitted principal uses and structures.
(1)
The permitted principal uses in the I-7 Overlay Zone District
shall be limited to those existing, and to the locations where such
uses exist, at the time of the adoption of this article creating the
I-7 District, which include an asphalt emulsion manufacturing facility
on Lot 2 in Block 7101, and a contractor for earthwork and installation
of utility and drainage structures, and construction dumpster service
on Lot 1 in Block 7401, both as designated on the official Township
tax maps.
(2)
Minor changes to these existing uses shall be permitted, including
additions to or changes to existing buildings or construction of new
accessory buildings, subject to applicable standards; provided, however,
that any such changes of the existing uses shall only be permitted
if there results no intensification of the existing use of the property
as of the date of adoption of this article creating the district.
For purposes of administering this requirement, an intensification
of use shall be construed to mean any change in site activity which
would have a significant negative impact upon residential properties
in the vicinity, including but not limited to increased vehicular
traffic, outdoor storage, an increase in nighttime operations, increased
noise, odors and other emissions, etc.
C.
Accessory uses. Permitted accessory uses shall be limited to uses
which are naturally and normally incidental to and subordinate to
the permitted principal use or uses on the premises, including but
not limited to parking and loading areas, signs and other outdoor
use functions.
D.
Prohibited uses and use limitations. Any use other than the uses
specifically permitted above, permitted by other provision of this
chapter or permitted by other applicable law shall be prohibited.
E.
Lot, bulk and intensity of use regulations. Development in the I-7
Overlay Zone District shall be subject to the following lot, bulk
and intensity of use regulations; in cases where the existing development
is legally nonconforming with the following requirements, the Board
shall seek, insofar as reasonable and practicable, to achieve greater
compliance as part of the review of any site plan application:
(1)
Minimum lot area: 50,000 square feet.
(2)
Maximum floor area ratio: 22% of the lot area.
(3)
Maximum building height: one story and 25 feet, whichever is
more restrictive.
(4)
Maximum coverage by buildings and other roofed structures: 25%
of the lot area.
(5)
Maximum coverage by improvements: 80% of the lot area.
(6)
Minimum front yard depth: 50 feet.
(7)
Minimum side yard depth: 30 feet.
(8)
Minimum rear yard depth: 30 feet.
(9)
Minimum building setback from residential property line: 30

F.
Other requirements.
(1)
Site access, circulation, parking and loading. Site access, circulation, parking and loading shall comply with the requirements of Article XXIII, as well as all other applicable requirements of this chapter; provided, however, that the minimum pavement setbacks for internal site driveways, access aisles, parking and loading areas, as well as other paved areas, shall be as follows:
(3)
Roof structures shall not exceed five feet in height. Roof structures shall be located and screened in accordance with § 166-133. The total area of all rooftop heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment that exceeds the maximum permitted building height shall not exceed 5% of the roof area upon which it is located.
(4)
Performance standards. The requirements of § 166-197 shall apply to development in the I-7 Zone District.
(5)
Miscellaneous. All development in the I-7 Zone District Shall
comply with the standards applicable to development in the I- Industrial
Zone District, as well as all other applicable requirements of this
chapter; provided that in the case of conflict between such regulations
and the provisions of this article, the provisions of this article
shall apply.
