Editor's Note: See N.J.S.A. 24:6I-31 et seq.
[1976 Code § 78-76; Ord. No. 3-82]
Any use, building or structure lawfully existing at the time of the enactment of this chapter may be continued even though such use, building or structure may not conform with this chapter. (See Section 30-78.)
[1976 Code § 78-77; Ord. No. 3-82; Ord. No. 99-2, § I; Ord. No. 99-24 § I]
Exceptions to the zoning provisions are as follows. (See also Section 30-30.)
a. 
Height. Nonresidential roof peaks having no functional use (such as storage, office or retail use); but which are solely for aesthetic and architectural purposes, in addition to roof structures, such as elevators, tanks, ventilating fans, air-conditioning equipment, solar panels, fire or parapet walls, skylights, cupolas, steeples, as well as flagpoles, chimneys, smokestacks, silos, radio and television towers or similar structures, may be erected no more than 25% above the height limits of this chapter or 15 feet above the height of the building to which it is attached, whichever is shorter, except that spires, steeples, water towers and commercial radio and television towers shall have no height restrictions other than to be set back from any property line 1.2 times their height.
b. 
Lot Area. (See Sections 30-71 and 30-78.)
c. 
Flag Lots.
1. 
Flag lots are permitted only in the R-40A District and shall have access only to an improved, new secondary local street. The purpose of this district is to allow flag lots as part of major subdivisions in limited circumstances and, as the exception, not the rule, to gain access to difficult portions of a tract.
2. 
The body of the lot, exclusive of the access drive connecting it to the public road, has an area of at least two acres.
3. 
The access drive has a width at the street line and along its full length of at least 50 feet.
4. 
The access drive is reasonably suited for the construction and use of a private lane.
5. 
The proposed flag lot and access drive do not adversely affect the development of the remainder of the tract.
6. 
In the event an additional lot or use is proposed for service from such access drive, the owner of the access drive shall, at his expense, pave and improve it in accordance with Township standards regulating street construction. Such road improvements shall be made prior to the issuance of a building permit for the additional structure.
[1976 Code § 78-78; Ord. No. 3-82; Ord. No. 86-28]
Regulations for the R-40A and R-40B districts are as follows.
[1976 Code § 78-78; Ord. No. 3-82; Ord. No. 86-28]
The purpose of the R-40A and R-40B districts is to zone existing low density areas in a manner consistent with existing development in the R-40A District. In the R-40B District, the lower density will reduce the overall impact of development consistent with the undeveloped, rural character of these areas and may be more consistent with the sensitivity of the soils for on-lot septic systems. The R-40B District is located so as to not impact on sites selected to meet the Township's lower income housing need. The design standards are intended to provide flexibility in design so that the vistas and views in the remaining undeveloped areas will be preserved as much as possible by locating homes over crests of hills, behind existing trees, or in other locations that will minimize the appearance of development.
[1976 Code § 78-78; Ord. No. 3-82; Ord. No. 84-7; Ord. No. 86-28]
NOTE: In all residential developments, allowance shall be made for participating in the production of lower income housing in accordance with Section 30-70 and subsection 30-127.6, both sections superseding any conflicting parts of this chapter.
a. 
In the R-40A and R-40B Districts, one family detached dwelling with accessory buildings:
1. 
On lots conforming to this section; or
2. 
On flag lots. See subsection 30-126c.
b. 
Public and private schools, libraries, firehouses, historical museums and private golf courses. No private golf courses shall be permitted unless the property constituting the course shall consist of at least 100 acres of land.
[Amended 9-14-2021 by Ord. No. 2021-34]
c.

a. 
Accessory buildings incident to farms such as tenant houses, buildings for housing seasonal workers employed by the owner or operator of the farm, barns, packing, grading and storage buildings and buildings for the keeping of poultry and livestock, garage or garages for the keeping of equipment and trucks used in farm operation. In addition, housing of lower income farm employees may be permitted in mobile homes or in accessory buildings converted to one or more dwelling units provided they are occupied by lower income persons who are full-time employees of the farm and provided there shall be no more than one unit for every 20 acres, up to a maximum of four units per farm, and provided further that all water and service and sewage treatment facilities meet applicable codes and ordinances.
b. 
Accessory buildings incident to farms as defined above shall require application for and issuance of building permits but shall not be required to obtain site plan approval unless it is intended that the general public shall be invited to such building or buildings for the purpose of retail sales of goods or services.

Development of land in the R-40A District shall be permitted to have the density increased to a maximum of 1.0 unit per acre. With any increase in density, the minimum lot size and other bulk and design requirements shall comply with the "single family cluster design" provisions in the above table. In exchange for any additional density bonus, the developer shall participate in the Township's lower income housing program by making a cash contribution to the Township's escrow fund in accordance with the standards in Chapter 14 of the Township Code.
In addition, the development of land identified as R-40A(2) may be developed at up to 4.0 units per acre provided the developer includes at least half the total number of units as townhouses, and provided further the developer participates in the development of lower income housing in accordance with Chapter 14 by donating cash.
The amount of cash contribution shall be equivalent to 6% of the sales price of each dwelling unit at the time of the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for that unit in the development payable to the Township in accordance with Chapter 14. In the event no sale takes place or in the event the sales price does not reflect the fair market value to the satisfaction of the Township, then the payment of the 6% shall be established on the fair market value of that dwelling unit at the time of the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy on the unit.

The purpose of this provision is to permit an alternative development option which results in more compact development on a tract while maintaining open spaces and protecting critical resources, while also retaining all lands in private ownership, other than easements or rights-of-way for pathways, bikeways, trails along proposed greenways and linkages to other subdivisions.
a. 
Lot Area Range. Subdivisions utilizing lot averaging may be permitted by the Planning Board, provided that at least 60% of the lots shall have a lot area of 2.5 to 3.5 acres. Two lot subdivisions may also utilize the lot averaging provision, provided that one of the two lots meets the lot area standard provided above.
b. 
Site Design. Lot averaging designs should shift the more intensive development toward those lands which can best support the installation of the dwelling, well, septic system, and associated site improvements. Similarly, lot averaging should locate less intensive development in those areas which exhibit sensitive environmental features (i.e., water bodies, wetlands, floodplains, steep slopes, shallow bedrock, prime aquifer recharge areas, seasonal high water table, etc.) or which contain active or prime agricultural lands or mature woodlands. The lot averaging design may include easements of rights-of-way for pathways, bikeways, and trails along proposed greenways and linkages to other subdivisions.
c. 
Deed Restriction. The deed for any lot over 3.5 acres created by lot averaging shall contain a covenant for the benefit of the Township, and the owners of other properties in the subdivision, prohibiting further subdivision for the purpose of creating an additional lot or lots.
d.

Minimum front yard setback: 75 feet.
7. 
Minimum side yard setback: 40 feet.
8. 
Minimum rear yard setback: 75 feet.
9. 
Minimum off-street parking spaces:[1]5 per unit.
[1]
There shall be an adequate area so vehicles may be turned around in the driveway and exit in a forward direction. Where driveways exceed an 8% slope, at least two additional off-street parking spaces shall be provided near the street.
10. 
Maximum building height: 35 feet.
11. 
Maximum coverage by primary structure, driveway, and accessory uses: 15%
[1976 Code § 78-78.2; Ord. No. 3-82; Ord. No. 94-25]
The purpose of this provision is to permit an alternative development option which results in more compact development on a tract while maintaining open spaces and protecting critical resources. With cluster development, the open spaces shall be owned and maintained by a Homeowners' Association or the Township, if accepted by the Township Committee.
a. 
Maximum Density and Area and Yard Requirements. The maximum density for the tract and the area and yard requirements for individual lots shall be as provided in subsection 30-131.6d.
b. 
Tract Size. The minimum tract size for a clustered development shall be 25 acres.
c. 
Open Space. The clustered development shall provide a minimum of 30% of the tract as open space. Open space shall be owned and maintained by a Homeowners' Association or the Township, if accepted by the Township Committee, in accordance with Section 30-55. Open space shall not include yards on individual building lots.
d. 
Development Theme. Any applicant for cluster development shall present to the Planning Board a theme around which the development is organized. Examples of acceptable themes are an equestrian development, organized around a common paddock of at least five acres with horse training facilities, or a recreational development, organized around a fitness trail and common recreational facilities.
[1976 Code § 78-78.2; Ord. No. 3-82; Ord. No. 94-25]
a. 
In lieu of sidewalks, each development should be designed with a system of paths, bikeways, or trails linking interior parts of the development and linking the development to adjoining open space and development.
b. 
Within the limits of sound engineering and future maintenance, low intensity improvements are encouraged. Among the low intensity improvements that may be acceptable are roadside swales for drainage and unfinished edges of pavement rather than curbing throughout the development where the curbing is not needed for drainage, road integrity, or direction of traffic flow.
[1976 Code § 78-78.2; Ord. No. 3-82; Ord. No. 94-25]
Accessory buildings shall conform to principal building setbacks, except that they shall be set back at least 100 feet from any street line. (See Section 30-105.)

3. 
Additional Standards. All developments shall submit a comprehensive signage plan indicating specific criteria for signage within the planned development. The comprehensive signage plan shall, at a minimum, indicate the type, size, style of lettering, colors, construction material, type of pole or standard and illumination. Included in the comprehensive signage plan shall be all illuminated interior signs, which shall be consistent throughout the development and which shall not detract from the aesthetic impression created by the remainder of the signage plan.
Signage standards of subsection 30-150.10a shall apply to all developments. Relief from these standards shall be considered by the approving body only where the applicant sufficiently documents the reasons for requiring relief from the signage standards. In considering the grant of such waiver requests, the approving body shall consider such factors as the degree of proposed sign visibility from a major frontage road as well as the internal parking area of a development; the distance between a sign and a major roadway providing access to a development; the size and scale with respect to lettering heights, font styles and number of colors, both when the sign is illuminated and when the sign is not illuminated, in relation to other signs proposed as part of a total signage program for a development.
