[Amended 3-10-2008 by Ord. No. 2008-4; 3-8-2021 by Ord. No. 2021-3C]

Any applicant who believes that the nature of the proposed use, occupancy, hours of operation, number of employees, on-site or off-site parking, square footage of the commercial area, loading, signage, landscaping and/or buffering, deliveries (types of vehicles and hours) and compliance with zoning regulations in that particular district are essentially the same for the existing use may apply to the Land Use Board for an exemption from the requirement to obtain formal site plan approval.

In the event that the Site Plan Subcommittee finds that the proposed application will not essentially modify the existing use from the proposed use, the application for exemption can be approved by the Subcommittee.

The Site Plan Subcommittee's approval or disapproval of the application will be announced and read into the record at the next regularly scheduled Land Use Board meeting. Any denial by the Site Plan Subcommittee shall be without prejudice and the applicant may apply to the full Land Use Board for site plan approval with request for an exemption.
B.

The applicant shall submit complete application materials obtained from the Land Use Board Secretary, pay the necessary fees set forth in § 90-2, and the applicant shall comply with the notice requirements pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-12 et seq.
C. 
The approving authority, when acting upon an application for preliminary site plan approval, may grant such exceptions from the preliminary site plan details and design and performance standards set forth in this chapter or any other ordinance of the Borough as may be reasonable and within the general purpose and intent of the provisions for site plan review and approval if the literal enforcement of one or more of said provisions will result in exceptional practical difficulties to or exceptional and undue hardship to the applicant because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question.
Approving authority approval of a site plan shall be guided by the fact that the site plan conforms to the following standards and regulations:
A. 
The applicant has submitted a complete site plan containing all of the information and data as provided for in this chapter.
B. 
The details of the site plan are in accordance with the standards of the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and any and all other ordinances of the Borough which may be in existence at the time of the application and in harmony with the officially adopted Comprehensive Master Plan of the Borough.[1]

(1) 
All parking and loading areas and access drives shall be constructed with either a minimum six inches Class A road gravel, two inches bituminous stabilized base course and 1 1/2 inch FABC-1 bituminous top course, or a minimum of six inches of Class A road gravel, and two inches of crushed stone. All parking areas, regardless of size and location, shall be suitably drained and maintained.
(2) 
All off-street parking lots shall have adequate designations to indicate traffic flow and parking spaces.
(3) 
Parking spaces shall have a minimum dimension of nine feet wide by 18 feet in length, except that handicapped parking spaces shall be sized as required per the ADA code.
(4) 
All off-street parking and loading areas shall be provided with curbing so that vehicles cannot be driven onto required perimeter landscaped areas, buffer zones and street right-of-way and so that each parking and loading area has controlled entrances and exits and drainage control. Curbing shall be located to prevent any part of a vehicle from overhanging internal sidewalks or landscaped areas. Parking and loading spaces shall not be an extension of any street right-of-way.
(5) 
A buffer planting strip not less than five feet in width shall be provided between the parking lot curb and the property line.
(6) 
All parking areas and walkways thereto and appurtenant passageways and driveways serving commercial, public, office, multiple family or other uses having common off-street parking and/or loading areas shall be adequately illuminated for security and safety purposes. The lighting plan in and around the parking areas shall provide for nonglare lights focused downward.

Lighting shall be provided by fixtures with a mounting height not more than 25 feet measured from the ground level to the center line of the light source.
A. 
No final plat shall be approved by the approving authority until all required on-site and off-site improvements, including but not limited to those improvements set forth in the Borough of Beach Haven Subdivision Ordinance, as amended and supplemented,[1] have been installed, inspected, certified and approved by the Borough Engineer and accepted by the governing body and a maintenance guaranty has been filed and accepted by the governing body in accordance with the requirements of this chapter, or their installation shall have been provided for by a performance guaranty accepted and approved by the governing body in accordance with the requirements of this chapter.
[1]
Editor's Note: See Ch. 179, Subdivision of Land.
B. 
The performance guaranty shall consist of a performance bond in a form approved by the Borough Attorney, in which the applicant shall be principal and an acceptable surety company licensed to do business in the State of New Jersey shall be surety, or cash or a certified check which shall be deposited with the Borough of Beach Haven by payment to the Municipal Treasurer.
C. 
The total performance guaranty shall be an amount equal to 120% of the estimated cost of the necessary improvements as determined by the Borough Engineer. Ninety percent of this total shall be in either cash, certified check or surety bond of a bonding company approved by the governing body. The remaining 10% shall be in cash and shall be deposited with the Borough of Beach Haven by payment to the Municipal Treasurer.
D. 
Performance guaranties shall run for a term not to exceed 18 months; provided, however, that such guaranties, with the consent of the principal and surety, if any, may be extended by the governing body by resolution for an additional period of not to exceed 18 months.
E. 
At least one week prior to the beginning of construction or installation of any required improvements, the developer shall notify the Borough Engineer in writing of the developer's intention to commence such work. All improvements and utility installations shall be inspected during the time of their installation by the Borough Engineer or his designee to ensure satisfactory completion, and no underground installation shall be covered until inspected by the Borough Engineer or his designee. The cost of all inspections shall be the responsibility of the developer, and he shall deposit the necessary inspection fee with the Borough Clerk upon making application for final approval under this chapter or prior to the start of any construction, whichever shall first occur. The inspection fee shall be in addition to the amount of any required performance or maintenance guaranty and shall consist of 5% of the estimated cost of the improvements to be constructed as determined by the Borough Engineer. This fee shall be held in a separate escrow account by the Borough and used to pay the cost of inspecting the construction. It shall be the obligation of the developer to pay for the actual cost of inspecting the construction. Any excess money shall be remitted to the developer upon approval of all improvements as provided herein. Any additional inspection costs shall be paid by the developer prior to the approval of the improvements by the governing body, as provided for herein.
F. 
After completing the construction of the improvements covered by the performance guaranty, the developer shall make application to the governing body in writing by certified mail addressed to the Borough Clerk, with a copy sent by certified mail to the Borough Engineer for final inspection of such improvements. The Borough Engineer shall, within 30 days after his receipt of said application, inspect the improvements in question and report in writing to the governing body indicating either approval, partial approval or rejection of the improvements with a statement of reasons for any rejection. If partial approval is indicated, the cost of the improvements rejected shall be set forth.
G. 
The governing body shall either approve, partially approve or reject the improvements on the basis of the report of the Borough Engineer and shall notify the developer in writing, by certified mail, of the contents of said report and the action of the approving authority not later than 65 days after receipt of the notice from the developer of the completion of the improvements. Where partial approval is granted, the obligor shall be released from all liability pursuant to its performance guaranty, except for that portion adequately sufficient to secure provisions of the improvements not yet approved. Failure of the governing body to send or provide such notification to the obligor within 65 days shall be deemed to constitute approval of the improvements, and the obligor and surety shall be released from all liability pursuant to said performance guaranty.
H. 
If any portion of the required improvements is rejected, the approving authority may require the obligor to complete such improvements and, upon completion, the same procedure of notification, as set forth in this section, shall be followed.
I. 
The approval of any plat under this chapter by the approving authority shall in no way be construed as an acceptance of any street, drainage system or other improvement required by this chapter, nor shall such plat approval obligate the Borough of Beach Haven in any way to maintain or exercise jurisdiction over such street and drainage system or other improvement. Acceptance of any street, drainage system or other improvement shall be implemented only by favorable action of the governing body.
No improvement shall be accepted, approved or partially approved by the governing body unless and until all of the following conditions have been met:
A. 
The Borough Engineer shall have certified in writing that the improvement is complete and that it complies fully with the requirements of this chapter and all other applicable laws and ordinances.
B. 
A maintenance guaranty is posted with the governing body for a period of two years after final acceptance of the improvement, in an amount equivalent to 15% of the cost of the improvement, as determined by the Borough Engineer. In the event that other governmental agencies or public utilities automatically will own the utilities to be installed or where the improvements are covered by a performance or maintenance guaranty to another governmental agency, no performance or maintenance guaranty, as the case may be, shall be required by the Borough for such utilities or improvements.[1]

Editor's Note: Original § 103-13, Fees, as amended 5-26-1981 by Ord. No. 81-5, was repealed 1-23-1984 by Ord. No. 84-3. For current site plan approval fees, see Ch. 90, Fees, Article I.
Buffers are required along lot and street lines of all nonresidential lots where said property lines or the center line of adjacent streets abuts residential uses or residential zoning district lines. Each permitted use shall provide and maintain attractively landscaped grounds and suitable screening in order to safeguard the character of adjacent districts. The width of the buffer area for each particular zoning district shall be prescribed. Buffer areas shall be measured horizontally and shall be either perpendicular to straight lot and street lines or radial to curved lot and street lines. Buffer areas shall be maintained and kept clear of all debris, rubbish, weeds and tall grass. No structure, activity, storage of materials or parking of vehicles shall be permitted in the buffer area, and all buffer areas shall be planted and maintained with grass or ground cover, together with a dense screen of trees, shrubs or other plant materials meeting the following requirements:
A. 
Plant materials used in screen planting shall be at least four feet in height when planted and shall be of such density that all the glare of automobile headlights emitted from the premises is obscured throughout the full course of the year. The plant materials shall be of a species common to the area, shall be of nursery stock and shall be free of insects and disease.
B. 
Buffer areas shall be permanently maintained, and plant material which does not live shall be replaced within one year or one growing season.
C. 
The screen planting shall be so placed that at maturity the plant material will be no closer than three feet from any street or property line.
D. 
The buffer area shall not be broken unless specifically approved by the approving authority.
Electric or electronic equipment shall be shielded so that there is no interference with any radio or television reception at the lot line or beyond the operator's dwelling unit, in the case of multifamily dwellings.
No use shall produce a strong, dazzling light or a reflection of a strong, dazzling light or glare beyond its lot lines. Exterior lighting shall be shielded, buffered and directed so that glare, direct light or reflection will not become a nuisance to adjoining properties, adjoining dwelling units, adjoining districts or streets.
No use shall produce heat perceptible beyond its lot lines. Further, no use shall be permitted which would cause the temperature to rise or fall in the bay or ocean.
The sound level of any operation (other than the operation of motor vehicles or other transportation facilities on public highways, operations involved in the construction or demolition of structures or emergency alarm signals or time signals) shall not exceed the levels and operations as specified within Chapter 134, Noise.
Odors shall not be discernible at the lot line or beyond.
No materials or wastes shall be deposited upon a lot in such form or manner that they may be transferred off the lot by natural causes or forces, nor shall any substance which can contaminate a stream, watercourse or underground aquifer or otherwise render such a stream, watercourse or underground aquifer undesirable as a source of water supply or recreation, or which will destroy aquatic life, be allowed to enter any stream, watercourse or underground aquifer. All materials or wastes which might cause fumes or dust or which constitute a fire or explosion hazard or which may be edible or otherwise attractive to rodents or insects shall be stored indoors and enclosed in appropriate containers adequate to eliminate such hazards.
Immediately upon the adoption of this chapter, the Borough Clerk shall file a copy of the same with the County Planning Board as required by law.
