[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Council of the Township
of Washington 6-27-2011 by Ord.
No. 11-12 (Ch. 117 of the 1985 Code). Amendments
noted where applicable.]
A.
The Township Council has found that undesirable noise, inconvenience
and disturbance is caused by retail businesses remaining open in the
early morning hours.
B.
The Township Council deems it to be in the best interests of the
residents of the Township of Washington for retail businesses to cease
the conduct of their business at a reasonable hour.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
Any business which holds itself out to consumers or the general
public for the sale of goods or services at retail.
Every retail business located within the Township, excluding
movie theaters, catering businesses, and businesses regulated by the
New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, shall be closed
to the public, and business with the public therein shall be and is
hereby prohibited, between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 5:00 a.m.
