A.
District area. The minimum area which may be classified
as a CLI-X District shall be 20 acres.
B.
Lot area. The minimum area for any one lot shall be
two acres, provided that the average size of all lots within any subdivision
hereunder shall be not less than four acres. If any application for
subdivision approval hereunder contains any lot with a minimum area
of less than four acres, the applicant shall also submit a document
to be entered of public record, restricting in perpetuity further
subdivision of any lot containing six acres or more in such subdivision;
such document, creating the restriction, shall be fully executed and
approved as to form by the Township Solicitor prior to final approval

line, except where the property abuts a railroad right-of-way, where
no minimum setback is required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where
the ground elevation of the building is lower than the elevation of
the midpoint of any residential line bounding the lot, the aforesaid
one-hundred-fifty-feet minimum setback of any building from any residential
zoning district shall be reduced by an amount calculated by multiplying
2.5 by the difference between 40 and the height of such building,
provided that in no event shall the setback line from any residential
zoning district be less than a minimum of 100 feet.
E.
Lot coverage. Maximum building coverage shall be no
more than 30% of the total lot area. Impervious ground cover shall
be no greater than 55% of the total lot area. Each lot shall have
a minimum green space area of 45% of the total lot area.

F.
Control of dust, dirt, smoke, vapors and gases. No
emission shall be made which can cause any damage to health, to animals
or to vegetation or to other forms of property or which can cause
any significant soiling at any point outside the operations. Table
I, Chapter V, Industrial Hygiene Standards, Maximum Allowable Concentrations,
Air Pollution Abatement Manual, Manufacturing Chemists Association,
1951, Washington, D.C., shall be used as a guide in determining what
is a toxic gas.
G.
Control of radioactivity or electrical disturbances.
There shall be no activities which emit dangerous or harmful radioactivity
or electrical disturbances on or beyond the lot line.
H.
Control of odors. There shall be no emission of odorous
gases or other odorous matter in such quantities as to be offensive
at or beyond the lot line or which exceeds the standards of Table
III (odor threshold), Chapter V, Industrial Hygiene Standards, Maximum
Allowable Concentration, Air Pollution Abatement Manual, Manufacturing
Chemists Association, 1951, Washington, D.C. Any process which may
involve the creation or emission of any odors shall be provided with
a secondary safeguard system, so that control will be maintained if
the primary safeguard system should fail.

intense glare or heat shall be performed within an enclosed building
or behind a solid fence in such a manner as to be completely imperceptible
from any point on or beyond the lot lines.

materials.
All front yards, side yards and rear yards which
abut a residential district shall be landscaped for a depth of 50
feet for the entire length thereof in accordance with a landscape
plan showing the location, species, the size of trees and shrubs,

include proposals for screening adjacent residential areas and shall

but in no case shall any parking area be permitted closer than 50
feet to any residential district or to any property line of a property
in residential use. The parking area shall not exceed 25% of the total
lot area (unless authorized as a special exception) unless the total
building area of buildings on such lot is less than 40% of the total
lot area, in which event the difference between the 40% of the total
area which could have been covered and the area actually covered by
building area may be used for parking.
C.
On-street parking shall not be permitted.
Provisions shall be made for safe and efficient
ingress and egress to and from public streets and highways serving
the site without undue congestion to or interference with the normal
traffic flow within the Township. Plans showing the locations and
engineering details of all entrances and exits shall be submitted
for approval by the police and engineering departments prior to the
issuance of building permits.

the building setback area and is not connected to the building. The
sign area of the side of any such sign shall not exceed 35 square
feet. One additional square foot of sign area shall be allowed for
each two feet that the sign is set back in excess of the minimum front
yard required setback for a CLI-X District.
[Amended 7-21-1994 by Ord. No. 662]
D.
Where a sign faces a nonresidential district, the
total sign area erected by all occupants on any one street frontage
shall not exceed 100 square feet, except that if street frontage is
on a limited access toll road of not less than four lanes, the total
signage for all sides of the building facing on the limited access
toll road shall not exceed 300 square feet, provided that any such
sign shall be attached to a building wall and shall not project higher
