[Amended 9-15-1981 by Ord. No. 81-17-798; 3-17-1987 by Ord. No. 87-7-963]

Zoning Map of the Borough of Cresskill, a copy of which is
attached to this chapter and made a part hereof and delineating the new Affordable Housing Site Zone for Tax Lots 108 and 109 in Block 83 of the Cresskill Tax Map, which property is owned by the Borough of Cresskill, as designated by §
275-4, and the schedule of requirements summarizing the required conditions for each district printed thereon, are hereby declared to be a part of this chapter. Such map, indicating the latest amendment, shall be kept up-to-date in the office of the Borough Clerk for the use and benefit of the public.
[Amended 6-4-1997 by Ord. No. 97-16-1173]
B. The
Zoning Map of the Borough of Cresskill, a copy of which is
attached to this chapter and made a part hereof, and delineating the new Affordable Housing Contributing Zone District as designated by §
275-4 and the schedule of requirements summarizing the required conditions for each district printed thereon are hereby declared to be a part of this chapter. Such Map, indicating the latest amendment, shall be kept up-to-date in the office of the Borough Clerk for the use and benefit of the public.
[Amended 6-11-1997 by Ord. No. 97-14-1171]
In determining the boundaries of zones shown on the
Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A. Unless otherwise shown, the zone boundaries shall
be construed to coincide with the center lines of streets, alleys,
parkways, waterways, railroad rights-of-way or such lines extended.
B. Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the property lines of parks or other publicly owned lands,
such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
C. Unless otherwise shown, all zone boundaries running
parallel to streets shall be construed to be 100 feet back therefrom.
D. In all cases where a zone boundary line is located
not farther than 15 feet away from a lot line of record, such boundary
line shall be construed to coincide with such lot line.
E. In all other cases where dimensions are not shown
on the map, the location of boundaries shown on the map shall be determined
by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
Following the effective date of this chapter:
A. No building shall be erected, moved, altered, rebuilt or enlarged, nor shall any land or building be used, designed or arranged to be used, for any purpose or in any manner except in conformity with all regulations, requirements and restrictions specified in this chapter for the zone in which such building or land is located and only after securing a permit as set forth in Article
XVIII of this chapter.
B. No yard or open space required in connection with
any building or use shall be considered as providing a required open
space for any other building on the same or any other lot.
C. No lot shall be formed from part of a lot already
occupied by a building unless such building, all yards and open spaces
connected therewith and the remaining lot comply with all requirements
prescribed by this chapter for the zone in which such lot is located.
No permit shall be issued for the erection of a building on any new
lot thus created unless such building and lot comply with all the
provisions of this chapter.
D. Nothing contained in this chapter shall require any
change in the plans, construction or designated use of a building
complying with existing law, a permit for which shall have been duly
issued and the construction of which shall have been started before
the date of first publication or notice of the public hearing on this
chapter and the ground story framework of which, including the second
tier of beams, shall have been completed within six months of the
date of the permit, and which entire building shall have been completed
in accordance with such filed plans within one year from the date
of passage of this chapter.
E. Every new development that creates or generates five or more residential
units shall deed-restrict at least 20% of the total number of housing
units in a for-sale development as housing affordable to low- and
moderate-income households as these terms are defined in N.J.A.C.
5:93. The affordable housing rental set-aside is hereby established
at 15% of the total number of housing units. This requirement is unwaivable.
Any effort on the part of a developer to produce less than a twenty-percent
affordable housing set-aside for future developments not in the settlement
agreement or fair share plan is contrary to the public good and is
a prima facie basis for the reviewing board to deny the development
application in full. All such affordable housing generated pursuant
to this provision shall fully comply with Cresskill's Affordable Housing
Ordinance and the Uniform Housing Affordability Controls rules (N.J.A.C.
5:80-26.1 et seq.) with the understanding that 13% of all affordable
units must be offered to households earning 30% or less of regional
median income. This provision does not give any developer the right
to any rezoning, variance or other relief, or establish any obligation
on the part of Cresskill or its boards or agencies to grant such rezoning,
variance or other relief to a developer.
