Township of Alexandria, NJ Chapter 150 Special Events

[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Committee of the Township of Alexandria as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]

Article I Special Events Licenses

[Adopted 12-23-2020 by Ord. No. 2020-05]

§ 150-1 Purpose statement.

A. The purpose of this article is to establish a municipal license process to permit occasional commercial, agritourism and farm-related special events that are not otherwise permitted by ordinance or do not conform to the State Agricultural Development Committee (SADC) Agricultural Management Practice (AMP) for "On-Farm Direct Marketing Facilities, Activities, and Events"[1] as enumerated and regulated at N.J.A.C. 2:76-2A.13. The Township of Alexandria recognizes that residents and landowners may wish to supplement personal or farm income by conducting a special event on land they own, including land in all tax assessment categories. At the same time, the Township of Alexandria recognizes the need to protect the public health, safety and general welfare, and respect residents' entitlement and reasonable expectations to undisturbed use and enjoyment of their residential property without potential nuisances from nonresidential land uses, traffic, noise, light and crowds of people. In view of the foregoing, the following special event licensing procedures are established for one-time, occasional, periodic or seasonal commercial, agritourism and farm-related special events under controlled circumstances.

[1] Note, County Agriculture Development Board Administrator and State Agriculture Development Board staff are available to mediate Right-to-Farm conflicts. The SADC "On-Farm Direct Marketing Facilities, Activities, and Events" regulations are available at the following link: https://www.nj.gov/agriculture/sadc/rtfprogram/amps/adoptedamps/onfarmdirectmarketing.html.

B. There are two classes of agritourism special event licenses established, including a "minor" and a "major" special event license. An agritourism special event license may be issued to an "applicant," as defined below, on any parcel of land in Alexandria Township in accordance with this article. The following application procedures and requirements are established for a municipal special event license.

§ 150-3 Procedures.

A. An applicant may apply for and obtain a special event license from Alexandria Township in accordance with the application procedures set forth in this article.

B. Pre-application review. An applicant for a special event license shall request and attend a pre-application review meeting in accordance with § 150-4 below.

C. Complete application. A complete application for a special event license shall be submitted with the required application fee to the Alexandria Township Clerk at least 30 days prior to a minor special event and at least 45 days prior to a major special event. No administrative review of an application for a special event shall be conducted until the required application fee has been submitted.

D. Referral. The Alexandria Township Clerk may refer a special event license application to the Township Committee, Engineer, Fire Official, Director of Public Works, Zoning Officer, and/or any other municipal official or professional for review and comment relative to evaluating potential public health, safety, welfare, impacts to residents and the community and conformity with applicable law, regulations and ordinance standards for a special event license.

E. Minor special event license - issuance. The Alexandria Township Clerk may issue a minor special event license when presented with a complete application that includes all information and submission requirements for a special event license that satisfactorily addresses the requirements set forth below. In an application for a minor special event license that involves noise, light or traffic impacts elevated above normal ambient conditions that may potentially impact residences nearby (e.g., within approximately 1,000 feet) or adjoining the site for a minor special event license, the Township Clerk may refer the application to the Township Committee for review prior to the issuance or denial of the minor special event license.

F. Major special event license - issuance. A major special event license may only be issued by the Alexandria Township Committee, which at its sole discretion shall either approve or deny the application. The Township Committee may request information and recommendations from the Clerk, Engineer or other municipal officials in consideration of an application for a special event license.

G. Conditions. A special event license shall include the following conditions and applicant acknowledgment as a condition of approval:

(1) Failure to adhere to the conditions of the license or the creation of a nuisance pursuant to § 150-6G below, or the conduct of activities not included in an application for a license shall establish a basis for the Township of Alexandria to revoke the license and special event land use privileges approved under the license with all on-site special event activities to be discontinued and special event improvements and appurtenant structures taken down and removed from the site.

(2) A special event that results in a significant impact shall be in violation of the special event license ordinance and will immediately cease and desist all special event activity when ordered to do so by the Township Clerk, Engineer or Zoning Official.

(a) The licensee shall sign an acknowledgment of these provisions prior to issuance of the special event license by the Township of Alexandria.

H. Registration. An applicant shall register with the municipality to conduct a special event. The registration shall include:

(1) Applicant's name, address and contact information including email, cell and land line phone numbers.

(2) Whether applicant is an Alexandria Township resident landowner, or resident family member of a resident landowner.

(3) If the applicant is not a resident landowner, the resident family member of a resident landowner shall submit a notarized letter from the resident landowner that expressly grants permission for the special event to take place on their land including a description of the event and the dates for which permission is granted to conduct the special event.

I. Appeal risk. This article contains an appeal provision that permits an interested party to appeal the issuance of a major special event license by submitting a notarized letter of appeal to the Township Clerk within 10 days of newspaper publication of a Notice for special event license or within 10 days of receipt of a notice by certified mail. If an appeal to an application for a major special event license is received by the Township Clerk within 10 days of newspaper publication or receipt of notice by certified mail, no license shall issue until the Township Committee reviews the appeal and decides whether a sufficient basis for denying the application for a major special event license is established. Such bases may include but are not limited to objections to potential noise, light and traffic impacts within 200 feet of the special event property. As such, the appeal provisions of this article pose a risk to the applicant's planning and actual conduct of a special event when applying for a license because an Appeal to an application may affect the timing of Township issuing a major special event license.

J. Expiration. A special event license shall expire in the calendar year that it is issued.

K. Renewal. Alexandria Township shall have no obligation to renew a special event license in a subsequent calendar year.

(1) A special event license for a minor or major special event that has been previously issued by Alexandria Township may be renewed in a subsequent calendar year if the event remains unchanged from the prior year, there is no change in the scale, intensity or operations of the special event and the applicant satisfactorily complied with all conditions of the prior approval.

L. Sites that have obtained prior site plan approval. The Township Committee may, within its discretion, grant a license for a special event on a site that has previously received site plan approval, which shall not in any way alter, modify, or change the site plan approval and any conditions or limitations included in that approval except to the extent permitted by the Township Committee for a special event in accordance with the provisions of this article.

(1) The Township Committee may delegate to the Township Clerk and Engineer the ability to issue a special event license for a special event on a site that has previously received site plan approval; provided, however, that no special event license shall in any way alter, modify, or change the site plan approval and any conditions or limitations included in that approval, except to the extent permitted for the special event.

§ 150-4 Pre-application review.

B. The applicant shall provide the information above along with proof of Alexandria Township residency and as much preliminary detail as necessary to accurately describe the proposed special event. The special event description and details provided by the applicant will guide the Clerk and Engineer in advising the applicant as to the actual submission requirements for the special event license application, which may be less than all information required by ordinance in § 150-6 below.

(1) The purpose of this review is to confirm an applicant's eligibility as a Township resident for a special event license and to identify the appropriate level of detail needed in the application to consider safety, evaluate the scope and intensity of the event, and to evaluate potential negative impacts to residents and the community.

(2) Based upon the information provided by the applicant, the Clerk and Engineer may waive certain submission requirements of the special event license application in § 150-6 below.

(3) An application for a special event license may be denied if required information and detail is not provided by the applicant pursuant to the pre-application meeting.

(4) Following the pre-application meeting, the Clerk and Engineer shall provide a copy of the special event Application Checklist identifying the information that the applicant is required to submit.

C. The applicant shall submit a completed "Alexandria Township Special Event License Pre-Application Conference Questionnaire," a copy of which may be obtained from the Township Website or Township Clerk, and is produced in this article in § 150-9 below.

If the applicant does not replenish the escrow when needed, the professional's review of the application shall discontinue until the escrow is replenished.

§ 150-6 Standards for review of special event license.

The purpose of the following standards is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the Township of Alexandria and the general public. The applicant for a special event license shall submit a completed application, checklist and sketch plan to the Township Clerk that clearly explains and depicts the nature and location of the event and all activities to take place at the special event. The sketch plan shall clearly depict the proposed physical layout of existing on-site buildings any proposed improvements or site modifications in conformity with requirements set forth in this section. Where specific standards are not provided in this section, standards set forth in the Code of the Township of Alexandria and those standards set forth at N.J.A.C. 2:76-2A.13, for "On-Farm Direct Marketing Facilities, Activities, and Events" shall govern. Where standards may conflict between the Township Code and the "On-Farm Direct Marketing Facilities, Activities, and Events," the Code of the Township of Alexandria shall govern. The Township Clerk or Township Committee may not require the applicant to submit certain information in the application or details on the sketch plan where they may deem the nature of the proposed special event may not require certain details; however, a waiver request may delay the municipal review and approval of a special event application, which may in turn complicate the applicant's scheduling plans for a special event because the municipality will require time to review a waiver request.
