The Residential Compatibility District is intended
to provide for single-family detached dwellings and other compatible
uses. The district has an established pattern of intensive land development
that has been occurring sporadically throughout the district. Many
approved developments are partially developed and should be permitted

convents and cemeteries.

[Added 4-24-2001 by Ord. No. 1452]
The intent of the Planned Neighborhood Commercial
District is to serve the residents and users of facilities at approved
planned unit developments. This zoning designation recognizes the
existing traffic conditions on Wrangleboro Road due to the presence
of a node of educational facilities and higher density residential
patterns in this portion of the Township as well as the possibility
of development of a full interchange at exit 44 on the Garden State
Parkway (at Pomona Road). It is believed that the appropriate location
of neighborhood commercial development within the planned unit developments
will help to reduce vehicle trips for everyday needs and staples and
remove excess automobiles from the major transportation corridors
within the Township. Neighborhood commercial development is permitted
on all vacant lots that meet the minimum required lot size in the
area east of the Garden State Parkway, north of Reeds Road, and west
of Pitney Road. The following standards and requirements will apply
to all nonresidential development as part of the Planned Neighborhood
Commercial District:
A. Permitted uses.
(1) Neighborhood commercial uses.
(2) Eating and drinking establishments.
(3) Gasoline service stations, excluding automobile repair
facilities. Gasoline service stations will not be permitted within
50 feet of residential uses.
B. Area regulations.
(1) Minimum lot size permitted is one acre.
(2) Minimum lot frontage is 200 feet.
(3) A minimum buffer of 20 feet will be required between
any proposed nonresidential development.
C. Design standards.
(1) All proposed improvements must be harmonious with
the intent of the planned unit development design criteria, including
the following: maintaining natural buffers wherever possible, general
site design, circulation design, and architectural design.
(2) The proposed architectural design must be compatible
with the general design intent of the surrounding neighborhood and
must be respective of the traditional rural architectural pattern
established within this portion of the Township.
(3) All signs must be wood with a sandblasted finish.
Only external illumination of signs is permitted. No internally illuminated,
plastic or laminated signs are permitted.
(4) All lots must have access to Wrangleboro Road or Collins

attached to this chapter.
E. Intent. It is the intention of this chapter that the
uses in the Conditional Industrial District recognize the existence
of the landfill at the center of the district and are not incompatible
with the presence of that landfill. Proposed industrial and commercial
uses within the district will be evaluated in light of their impact
on the district and also the impact of the landfill on the proposed
use.
