The regulations, limitations and restrictions
of this chapter may from time to time be amended, changed, modified
or repealed, and the boundaries of the districts hereby established
may be changed by an ordinance adopted by the Borough Council; but
no amendment for change shall become effective unless the ordinance
proposing the amendment or change shall first have been submitted
to the Planning Board for approval, disapproval or suggestions. The
Planning Board shall have a reasonable time, but not less than 30
days, for consideration and report. In the case of an unfavorable
report by the Planning Board, the amendment shall not become effective,
except by a favorable vote of 2/3 of the Borough Council.
In the case of a protest against such proposed
change signed by the owners of 20% or more either of the area of the
lots or land included in such proposed change or of the lots or land
in the rear thereof extending 100 feet therefrom or of the lots or
land on either side thereof or directly opposite thereto extending
100 feet therefrom, exclusive of street space, such change shall not
become effective except by the favorable vote of 2/3 of all the members
of the Borough Council.
A.
The Planning Board may fix the minimum sizes of lots
and establish building lines which are either consistent with or in
excess of those established by this chapter.
B.
In approving any subdivision plat within its jurisdiction,
the Planning Board may either confirm the zoning regulations of the
land subdivided or make recommendations for their reasonable change
to the Borough Council. The owners of the land shown upon the plat
may submit with the plat a proposed building plan indicating lots
where different types of dwellings or stores are proposed to be built.
The building plan shall indicate for each lot or proposed building
unit the maximum density of population, the maximum height of building
and the minimum yard and open space requirements.[1]
