No use or occupancy of any building, structure, land or open
space, either singularly or in any combination thereof, shall hereafter
be changed to a different use or occupancy, and no building or structure
or part thereof shall hereafter be erected, constructed, moved or
structurally altered unless in conformity with all the regulations
herein specified for the district in which it is located, except as
hereinafter provided.
No building or other structure shall hereafter be erected to
exceed the height, to accommodate or house a greater number or families
or households, to occupy a greater percentage of lot area or to have
a narrower or smaller rear yard, front yard, side yard or other open
spaces than are required, or in any other manner contrary to the provisions
of this chapter, except as hereinafter provided.
No part of a yard or other open space or off-street parking
or loading space required about or in connection with any building
or use for the purpose of complying with this chapter shall be included
as part of a yard, open space or off-street parking or loading space
similarly required for any other building, except as might otherwise
be specified herein.
The front setback lines shall be determined from the proposed
right-of-way of the street on which the lot fronts. Rear and side
yards shall be determined from the lot lines. All front yard setbacks
shall be observed except in such cases as exists a pronounced alignment
observing a different setback, in which case the Construction Official
shall be authorized to issue a building permit for construction in
alignment with the pronounced alignment without the necessity of obtaining
a variance. Pronounced alignment exists when four adjacent, existing
structures to the premises in question observe a structurally different
setback than what is required under this chapter.
A lot which is of public record and in single and separate ownership
and not of contiguous frontage with other lots in the same ownership
at the time of enactment of this chapter may be used for a permitted
use in the district in which it is located even though such lot fails
to meet the requirements for bulk and frontage, or both, that are
generally applicable in the district in which it is located, provided
that the yard requirements or other requirements not involving bulk
or frontage of lot shall conform, or a variance for such requirements
not involving bulk or frontage shall be obtained.
If two or more lots or combination of lots or portions of lots
with contiguous frontage in single ownership are of record at the
time of passage or amendment of this chapter and if all or part of
the lots do not meet the requirements for lot frontage and bulk as
established by this chapter, the lands involved shall be considered
to be an undivided parcel for the purposes of this chapter unless
approval for such lots has been obtained under the provisions of subdivision
regulations of the City of Millville, and no portion of the parcel
shall be used or sold which does not meet lot frontage and bulk requirements
established by this chapter, nor shall any division of the parcel
be made which leaves remaining any lot with frontage or bulk below
the requirements stated in this chapter.
Every principal building shall be built upon a lot with frontage
upon a public street or road improved to meet the City of Millville's
requirements or for which such improvements have been insured by the
posting of a sufficient performance guaranty.
Where a building lot has frontage on a street which the adopted
Master Plan or the Official Map of the City of Millville indicates
is proposed for right-of-way widening, the required front yard shall
be measured from such proposed right-of-way line.
No lot in any zone shall have erected upon it more than one
single-family, detached dwelling unless otherwise permitted by this
chapter. No yard or other open space provided around any building
for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this chapter shall
be considered to provide a yard or open space for any other building.
At the intersection of two or more streets, or a driveway and
a street in a business or industrial zone district, no hedge, fence
or wall (other than a signal post or tree) which is higher than three
feet above curb level, nor any obstruction to vision, shall be permitted
in the triangular area formed by the intersecting street lines and
a line joining each 30 feet above curb level, nor any obstruction
to vision, shall be permitted in the triangular area formed by the
intersecting street lines and a line joining each 30 feet distant
from the intersection along the street lines.
