No buildings shall hereafter be used, erected, altered, converted,
enlarged, added to, moved or reduced, wholly or in part, nor shall
any land be designed, used or physically altered for any purpose or
in any manner except in conformity with this chapter. Where a lot
is formed from part of a lot already occupied by a building, any subdivision
shall be effected in such a manner as not to impair any of the requirements
of this chapter with respect to the existing building and all yard
and other open space in connection therewith so that all resulting
lots have adequate dimensions consistent with the requirements of
the zoning district in which they are located and so that all lots
have frontage on a street. No open space provided around any principal
building for the purpose of complying with front, side, rear or other
yard provisions of this chapter shall be considered as providing the
yard provisions for another principal building.

Each individual residential use shall provide parking spaces according to the standards discussed in subsection 13-401.2c of this chapter. Each individual nonresidential use shall provide parking spaces according to the standards discussed in subsection 13-401.2d of this chapter. No parking area or driveway shall be located within fifteen (15') feet of any property line. See Section 13-508 for additional standards.
[Ord. #94-26, § 3; Ord. #98-33, § 5;
Ord. #2008-09, § 1]
a.
Detached Dwellings. Farm and property identification signs, street
number designations, postal boxes, "private property," "no hunting,"
on-site directional and parking signs and warning signs are permitted
and are not considered in calculating the sign area of other permitted
signs. No such signs shall exceed two square feet in area and shall
not exceed four (4') feet in height. Such signs do not require a sign
permit.
b.
Houses of Worship, Schools, Open Air Clubs, Golf Course/Clubs and
Airports. One free-standing sign not exceeding eight square feet in
area and not exceeding five (5') feet in height and set back at least
twenty-five (25') feet from the right-of-way lines and property lines.
c.
Airports. One free-standing sign, not exceeding eight square feet
in area and not exceeding five (5') feet in height and set back at
least twenty-five (25') feet from right-of-way lines and twenty-five
(25') feet from property lines.
d.
Public Playgrounds, Conservation Areas, Parks and Public Purpose
Uses. One free-standing sign, not exceeding eight square feet in area
and not exceeding eight (8') feet in height.
e.
Home Office Occupation. One unlighted name plate attached to the
building, not exceeding one square foot in area, and one free-standing
sign identifying the home occupation, not exceeding four square feet
in area, and set back at least five (5') feet from all right-of-way
lines and set back at least fifteen (15') feet from all other property
lines. Free-standing signs shall not exceed four (4') feet in height.
[Ord. #95-25, § 1; Ord. #97-43, § 1]
a.
Purpose. The purpose of this subsection is to provide an alternative
and innovative design technique which promotes the goals of this subsection
and the master plan to a greater degree than a conventional subdivision.
The overall planning for a tract may better respond to the intent
and purpose of this subsection if flexibility in the design of a subdivision
is permitted. In particular, the resource protection goals and objectives
included in the master plan, and the goal of maintaining large, contiguous
open areas, may be better addressed if some modification of the minimum
lot size requirement is allowed, provided the overall intensity of
permitted development is consistent with that which would result from
conventional development of 10 acre lots.
b.
Maximum Permitted Number of Lots. The lot size averaging subdivision
plan shall not result in a greater number of lots than would result
if a parcel were developed as a fully conforming conventional subdivision
of lots of at least 10 acres. For purposes of determining the maximum
number of lots permitted under lot size averaging, the applicant shall
submit a concept plan of a conforming conventional subdivision layout.
The conforming concept plan shall be in a sufficient detail to permit
the Planning Board to make an informed decision that the subdivision
satisfies all ordinance requirements and would be approvable by the
Planning Board as a conventional subdivision without the need for
any lot area or lot dimension variances or exceptions to subdivision
design standards. The number of lots shown on an accepted concept
plan shall be the maximum number of lots permitted under lot size
averaging.
c.
Design Criteria. Lot size averaging shall be permitted when the Planning
Board determines that the goals and objectives of the Master Plan
and the Land Development Ordinance are better served by the lot size
averaging plan than by a conventional plan. The applicant shall clearly
demonstrate to the Board that the lot size averaging plan is preferable
to the conventional plan in the achievement of the goals, objectives
and purposes of this subsection and the Bedminster Township Master
Plan. Factors to be considered in this demonstration include, but
are not limited to, stream corridor and wetlands preservation, steep
slope protection, agricultural retention, overall site design, reduction
in impervious coverage, traffic circulation, and the site's natural
features, topography, and relationship to open spaces on neighboring
parcels.
Planning Board approval of a lot averaging subdivision shall
be granted when the applicant demonstrates that the lot averaging
design better promotes the objectives of the Bedminster Township Master
Plan than would a conventional 10 acre lot subdivision. In this regard,
specific attention shall be paid to the ability of the lot averaging
plan to promote the strategies advocated in the Conservation Plan
Element (i.e. - farmland retention, stream corridor protection, conservation
of scenic vistas and features, etc.).
d.
Minimum Lot Area. The minimum lot area may be reduced to six acres
provided that the average lot area throughout the development shall
be at least 10 acres, and, in any event, shall result in no greater
number of lots than could be approved under a conforming 10 acre lot
arrangement.
e.
Distribution of Lot Sizes. For each lot that is proposed to be smaller
than 10 acres, one or more lots larger than 10 acres shall be provided.
f.
Deed Restrictions. All lots larger than 10 acres which are part of
a lot averaging plan shall be permanently deed restricted from further
subdivision in the future, other than use for either agriculture or
a combination of agriculture and one dwelling unit. When only a portion
of a tract is to be developed in a lot averaging plan, deed restrictions
against further subdivision shall not be required for the entire tract
but rather only for the portion of the tract devoted to the lot averaging
plan.

of the ORVMU Zone property which, in part, induced the Township to
rezone that property to an inclusionary rental low- and moderate-income
housing site, the period within which the affordable units shall be
restricted to low- and moderate-income households shall be an initial
thirty-year term beginning on the date of issuance of a certificate
of occupancy for each set-aside unit (the "initial thirty-year term"),
followed by a second thirty-year term (the "second thirty-year term")
which, however, the Township shall have the option of canceling. In
the event that the Township does not provide written notice of cancelation
of the second thirty-year term prior to the conclusion of the initial
thirty-year term, the second thirty-year term shall begin running
automatically at the conclusion of the initial thirty-year term. The
Township shall be entitled to credits for the affordable units under
the initial thirty-year term for the third round of Mount Laurel compliance.
The Township shall be entitled to credits for the affordable units
under the second thirty-year term for the round of Mount Laurel compliance
in which the units expire as may be allowed by then-applicable law,
but those credits shall be subject to forfeiture in the event that
the Township cancels the second thirty-year term. After the end of
the second thirty-year term, the Township will retain any rights it
has under N.J.A.C. 5:80-26.1 et seq. to continue to maintain affordability
