All buildings to be constructed in the business
and industrial districts shall front on an approved and accepted public
street, road or highway and shall be required to be landscaped in
accordance with the following regulations.
A buffer zone shall be provided between the
business districts and any residential districts, the same to consist
of a strip of land not less than 10 feet wide along the entire boundary
line. Such area shall have plantings of hardy-type evergreens, with
a minimum height above ground when planted of five feet, spaced not
more than four feet apart, and shall be provided near and along the
entire boundary. The buffer zone shall be kept free and clear at all
times of all merchandise, merchandising display material, signs, boxes,
cans, rubbish, trash, debris, etc.
In industrial districts:
A.
Front yards. A minimum of 75% of the area between
the front lot line and the front building line shall be laid out in
lawn or in a natural condition and so maintained. Plantings of hardy-type
evergreens, with a minimum height above ground when planted of 36
inches, spaced not more than four feet apart, shall be made in front
of the main building to the full width of the building, except for
entrances. No loading or unloading shall be permitted from the front
of the building. No parking of vehicles shall be permitted in front
yards.
B.
Side yards.
(1)
Side yards which front upon a street, road or highway shall be required to be landscaped the same as front yards (Subsection A above). Loading and unloading or parking shall not be permitted in a side yard which fronts on a street, road or highway.
(2)
Side yards which do not front upon a street, road
or highway may be used for loading, unloading and/or parking; however,
such areas shall be paved.
C.
Rear yards. Rear yards may be used for parking, loading
and unloading, but, if not used for these purposes, they shall be
planted with grass and kept as an orderly lawn at all times or shall
be kept in a natural condition.
D.
Buffer zones shall be required where industrial property
abuts a residential district. The same shall be not less than 25 feet
in width and shall extend along the entire boundary line. Buffer zones
may not be used for any industrial or commercial use and shall be
maintained as a green zone or lawn or in a natural condition. All
such buffer zones shall be maintained in a clean, rubbish-free condition
by the property owner. Tall-growing evergreens or trees shall be planted
near the boundary line in such buffer zones to form an effective screen.
Such plants shall be not less than six feet above ground when planted
and spaced not more than four feet apart.
Incinerators of approved type meeting the New
Jersey state regulations on air pollution and subject to the written
approval of the Board of Health of the Borough may be used for burning
waste materials. Only paper and such other materials may be burned
for which the incinerator is designed. No undue odor, smoke, gases
or other form of air pollution shall be permitted. Rubbish pits, baskets,
furnaces or any other means of burning rubbish and waste material
shall be prohibited. All chimneys, flues and exhausts of any kind
shall be required to rise a safe height above the building and adjoining
buildings.
Outdoor storage of stock, materials of any kind,
machinery, supplies, fuel, trucks or equipment is prohibited.
Floodlighting of business and industrial buildings
and their front, side and rear yards is permitted, provided that all
such lights shall be shaded and beams so directed as not to cause
glare on adjoining buildings or properties.
