[Amended 12-8-1988 by Ord. No. 202-18-88; 4-21-1994 by Ord. No. 255-3-94; 6-15-1995 by Ord. No. 255-5-95; 9-5-1996 by Ord. No. 255-7-96]
A. The boundaries of these zoning districts and areas
designated for specified optional development alternatives are established
on the map entitled "Zoning Map-Bethlehem Township, Hunterdon County,
NJ," dated December 2020, prepared by Van Cleef Engineering Associates,
LLC, which accompanies and is hereby made part of this chapter. Additionally, the maps entitled "Critical Areas," dated
November 1984, and "Wetlands," source dates November 1975 and October
1976, are hereby made part of this chapter for the purpose of administering
the land use control measures of this chapter; provided, however, that the Planning Board or Zoning Board
of Adjustment, as the case may be, may consider other sources of information
presented by an applicant to more definitely define the location and
extent of the critical areas on any lot or tract at the time of subdivision
and/or site plan review. The map entitled "Carbonate Area District
Overlay to the Bethlehem Township Zoning Map," dated June 1996, prepared
by Robert C. Bogart and Associates, depicting the Carbonate Rock District
and the Carbonate Drainage Area Boundary, is hereby made part of this
chapter for the purpose of administering the control measures in the Carbonate Area District as set forth in §
102-39.2 of this chapter. The Carbonate Area District Overlay to the Bethlehem Township Zoning Map may be modified and updated from time to time as information is developed and made available. Said map or any modifications to the same shall be on file with the Municipal Board of Health, the Municipal Clerk and the Secretary of the Planning Board pursuant to Subsection
A of this section and shall be available to the public for review during normal working hours.
[Amended 12-19-2002 by Ord. No. 255-36-2002; 11-6-2003 by Ord. No. 255-42-2003; 12-17-2020 by Ord. No.
255.36.2020]
B. The Carbonate Drainage Area boundary is indicated
by a boundary line and arrows which indicate in what direction the
drainage flows in the Carbonate Rock District Area. Because of this
drainage area, which may alter the surface drainage patterns or affect
the water quality or increase runoff in the Carbonate Rock District,
the overlay area shall be subject to the requirements of this chapter.
