The provisions of this chapter shall be administered
and enforced by the Zoning Inspector of the Borough of Clementon.
In no case shall a permit be granted for the construction or alteration
of any building, with the proposed construction or alteration or use
thereof to be in violation of any provision in this chapter. It shall
be the duty of the Zoning Inspector or his duly authorized assistants
to cause any building, premises or plans to be inspected and examined

[Amended 9-16-1968 by Ord. No. 68-13]
A.
Zoning permits. Zoning permits shall hereafter be
secured from the Zoning Inspector's office prior to the issuance of
a building permit for the construction, erection or alteration of
any structure or sign or part of a structure or upon a change in the
use of a structure or land.
B.
Special use permits.
(1)
Application for any special use permit as permitted
by this chapter shall be made to the Board of Adjustment through the
Zoning Inspector. The Board of Adjustment shall refer the matter to
the Planning Board for report thereon as to its effect on the comprehensive
planning of the Borough. After receipt of such report, the Board of
Adjustment shall hear the application in the same manner and under
the same procedure as it is empowered by law and ordinance to hear
cases and make exceptions to the provisions of this chapter.
(2)
The Board of Adjustment may thereafter direct the
Zoning Inspector to issue such permit if, in its judgment, any one
of such cases will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general
welfare of the Borough and is deemed necessary for its convenience.
(3)
In approving any such application, the Board of Adjustment
may impose any conditions that it deems necessary to accomplish the
reasonable application of applicable standards, and may deny any such
application, but only in accordance with said standards.
[Amended 1-22-2002 by Ord. No. 2001-17]
(4)
In the event that the decision of the Board of Adjustment
does not correspond with the recommendation of the Planning Board,
the questions shall be resolved by the governing body in accordance
with the procedure outlined in N.J.S.A. 40:55-1.13 of the Laws of
the State of New Jersey.
C.
Temporary use permits. It is recognized that it may
be in accordance with the purpose of this chapter to permit temporary
activities for a limited period of time, which activities may be prohibited
by other provisions of this chapter. If such uses are of such a nature
and are so located that at the time of petition they will in no way
exert a detrimental effect upon the uses of land and activities normally
permitted in the zone; or contribute materially to the general welfare
of the Borough, particularly in a state of emergency, under conditions
peculiar to the time and place involved; then the Board of Adjustment
may, subject to all regulations for the issuance of special use permits
elsewhere specified, direct the Zoning Inspector to issue a permit
for a period not to exceed six months. Such period may be extended
not more than for an additional period of six months.
D.
Certificates of occupancy. Certificates of occupancy
shall be issued by the Zoning Inspector in the manner prescribed in
the Borough Building Code. On the serving of notice by the Zoning
Inspector to the owner of any violation of any of the provisions or
requirements with respect to any building or use thereof or of land,
as specified in this chapter, the certificate of occupancy for such
use shall be deemed to be in violation of this chapter and subject
to the penalties hereinafter prescribed. A new certificate of occupancy
shall be required for any further use of such building or land.
[Amended 9-16-1968 by Ord. No. 68-13]
A.
It shall be the duty of the Zoning Inspector to keep
a record of all applications for zoning permits, a record of all permits
issued and a record of all certificates of occupancy which he countersigns,
together with a notation of all special conditions involved. He shall
file and safely keep copies of all plans submitted, and the same shall
form a part of the records of his office and shall be available for
the use of the officials of the Borough of Clementon.
B.
The Zoning Inspector shall prepare a monthly report
for the governing body summarizing for the period since his last previous
report all zoning permits issued and certificates countersigned by
him and all complaints of violations and the action taken by him consequent
thereon. A copy of each such report shall be filed with the Borough
Tax Assessor at the same time it is filed with the governing body.
