A. 
No use or occupancy of any building, structure or land shall hereafter be changed to a different use or occupancy and no building or structure or part thereof shall hereafter be erected, constructed, reconstructed, moved or structurally altered unless in conformity with all of the regulations herein specified for the district in which it is located, except as hereinafter provided.
B. 
No lot in any zoning district shall have located upon it more than one principal structure or use, except as otherwise permitted herein this chapter.
No building or other structure shall hereafter be erected or altered to exceed the height, to accommodate or house a greater number of households, to occupy a greater percentage of lot area or to have a narrower or smaller rear, front, side yard or other open spaces than are herein provided or in any other manner contrary to the provisions of this chapter, except as herein provided.
A. 
Each lot, whether existing or proposed, and regardless of zone district or location within the Township, must contain within its boundaries at least one continuous area that is classified as upland and not wetlands as defined in this chapter, which continuous area must comprise no less than 50% of the minimum area required for such lot, by use, in the applicable zoning district in which such lot is located; be sufficient in dimension to reasonably accommodate the sorts of principal and accessory structures and uses that are permitted in the applicable zoning district in which such lot is located; and have at least 50 feet of frontage on and direct abutting access to a street that meets the requirements of N.J.S.A. 40:55D-35. The Land Use Board may, at its discretion, allow wetlands areas to be considered in total lot coverage calculations, after determination that the increased lot coverage using wetlands will have no adverse environmental, health or safety impact on the community or adjacent lands.
[Amended 12-8-2009 by Ord. No. 15-2009]
B. 
For all lots, regardless of zone district or location within the Township, 50% of the maximum area required for a lot, by use, in the applicable zoning district in which it is located, must be classified as upland and not wetlands as defined herein this chapter. As an example, if the base district lot size is two acres for a single-family, detached dwelling and the actual lot size is three acres then 1.5 acres of the lot in question must be classified as uplands.
C. 
In the case of planned residential cluster developments as permitted by § 60-97, no wetlands or wetlands transition areas or any areas used for drainage facility basins may be included in the computation of permissible lot density or provisions of required open space.

[Amended 4-25-2012 by Ord. No. 2-2012]
A. 
Any structure or use that is permitted as customarily subordinate and incidental to, and therefore as accessory to, a permitted or lawfully existing principal agricultural or horticultural structure or use on the same lot, or a permitted or lawfully existing principal single- or two-family residential structure and use on the same lot, must conform to:
(1) 
All applicable minimum side and rear yard setback requirements as provided in the Schedule of District Regulations[1] for the zoning district in which the lot is located [unless the height of such accessory structure or use necessitates increased minimum side and/or rear yard setback distances per Subsection A(4) below];
[1]
Editor's Note: Said schedule is included as an attachment to this chapter.
(2) 
The applicable minimum front yard setback requirement as provided in the Schedule of District Regulations for the zoning district in which the lot is located, or be located no closer than the principal structure or use to the lot line from which the front yard setback is measured, whichever setback distance is greater;
(3) 
All applicable maximum lot coverage requirements as provided in the Schedule of District Regulations for the zoning district in which the lot is located, provided that such an accessory structure or use shall only be subject to lot coverage requirements to the extent that it creates "impervious surface" as defined in this chapter;
(4) 
The applicable maximum height requirement as provided in the Schedule of District Regulations for the zoning district in which the lot is located, provided that if the height of any such accessory structure or use is greater than the applicable minimum required setback distance from any side or rear lot line as set forth in the Schedule of District Regulations, then that minimum side or rear yard setback distance for the accessory structure or use shall be increased to 10 feet or to equal the height of the accessory structure or use, whichever setback distance is greater.
B. 
No minimum lot area, width, or depth requirement shall be applicable to any structure or use that is permitted as customarily subordinate and incidental to, and therefore as accessory to, a permitted or lawfully existing principal agricultural or horticultural structure or use on the same lot, or a permitted or lawfully existing principal single- or two-family residential structure and use on the same lot.
If two or more lots or combinations of lots or portions of lots with contiguous frontage are in single ownership of record at the time of adoption or amendment of this chapter, and if all or part of the lots do not meet the requirements for lot width and area as established by this chapter, the lands involved shall be considered to be an undivided parcel for the purposes of this chapter, and no portion of said parcel(s) shall be used or sold which does not meet lot width and area requirements established by this chapter, nor shall any division of the parcel(s) be made which leaves remaining any lot with width or area less than the requirements set forth in this chapter.
Building setback lines for a corner lot shall be the same as required on the adjoining lot along either block.
A. 
Where a lot has frontage upon a county road proposed for right-of-way widening on the adopted Master Plan or Official Map of the County of Salem, the required front yard depth shall be measured from and parallel to the proposed right-of-way width line measured at a right angle unless the existing street line is a greater distance from the road center line.
B. 
Where a lot has frontage on any road with the street lien at less than 25 feet measured at a right angle from the center line, the required front yard depth shall be measured from a line parallel to and at that distance from the center line.
In the case of irregularly shaped lots on culs-de-sac or curved street sections, the minimum lot width specified in the Schedule of District Regulations[1] shall be measured at the building setback line, provided that in no case shall a distance between side lot lines be reduced to less than 75% of the minimum lot width requirement at the street line.
[1]
Editor's Note: Said schedule is included as an attachment to this chapter.
No part of a yard or other open space or off-street parking or loading space required about or in connection with any buildings 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 otherwise permitted in this chapter.
No yard or lot existing at the time of passage of this chapter shall be reduced in size or area below the minimum requirements set forth herein. Yards or lots created after the effective date of this chapter shall meet at least the minimum requirements as established by this chapter.
Within each district, the regulations set by this chapter shall be minimum regulations and shall apply uniformly to each class or kind of structure or land.
[Amended 12-8-2009 by Ord. No. 15-2009]
Each lot must have lot frontage (as defined in this chapter) along at least one street which conforms to the requirements of N.J.S.A. 40:55D-35.
A. 
All buildings and structures shall be subject to height limitations specified in the Schedule of District Regulations[1] except spires, belfries, silos, domes, cupolas, scenery lofts, masts, chimneys, flues, ventilators, elevator penthouses, water tanks, skylights, bulkheads and similar decorative features and necessary mechanical appurtenances usually carved above roof level, provided that the following requirements are met:
(1) 
The total horizontal area covered by such features shall not exceed 20% of the area covered by the principal structure. Agriculture buildings located on an active farm shall not be subject to the horizontal area limitation.
(2) 
The excess height of any structure shall not be greater than the shortest distance from such structure to any required yard, nor shall the total height exceed twice the building height limitation in the district in which it is located.
[1]
Editor's Note: Said schedule is included as an attachment to this chapter.
B. 
The foregoing does not pertain to electric power transmission towers or electrical substation accessory towers or poles directly adjacent to said electric power transmission towers and associated rights-of-way which are to be determined by standards in the National Electric Safety Code.
Building projections, including bays, chimneys, cornices and gutters, may extend into required yard areas for a distance not to exceed five feet and shall not be located within 10 feet of any property line.
The following requirements shall apply in all districts for all uses, existing and new, and shall supplement the sight triangle easement required during site plan review:
A. 
Nothing shall be erected, placed, allowed to grow in such a manner as to materially impede vision between the height of 30 inches and 10 feet above the center line grade of the abutting streets or driveways within the triangular area formed by the intersecting street and driveway lines and in the case of corner lots, a straight line joining points located on said line a distance of one foot for each mile of allowed speed limit from the intersection of the street lines.
B. 
Whenever a front yard requirement is modified under § 60-62, the measurement line from that section shall be used in defining the triangular area rather than the street line.
