A.
Background. Within the City of Bordentown there are many unique and
distinctive residential neighborhoods and commercial districts which
contribute significantly to the overall character and identity of
the City. They are worthy of preservation and protection, but may
lack sufficient historical, architectural or cultural significances
at the present time to be certified as historic districts. As a matter
of public policy, the City Commission aims to preserve, protect, enhance
and perpetuate the value of these residential neighborhoods and commercial
districts by establishing a process to review proposed construction,
substantial alteration, or redevelopment to determine compatibility
with adjacent improved properties and those in the immediate vicinity.
B.
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to:
(1)
Protect and strengthen desirable and unique physical features, design
characteristics and recognize identity and charm;
(2)
Promote and provide for economic revitalization;
(3)
Protect and enhance the livability of the City;
(4)
Reduce conflict and prevent blighting caused by incompatible and
insensitive construction, substantial alteration or redevelopment
and to promote new compatible development;
(5)
Stabilize property values; and
(6)
Ensure the harmonious, orderly and efficient growth and redevelopment.
C.
Certificate of compatibility. Within all zoning districts, no building
shall be constructed, substantially altered or redeveloped so that
its design, architectural character, scale, use, intensity of use
and appearance is inconsistent with the design, architectural character,
scale, use, intensity of use and appearance of adjacent improved properties
and those in the immediate vicinity. Prior to seeking a building permit,
a property owner desiring to construct a new building or to substantially
alter or redevelop an existing building shall apply to the Planning
Board to secure a certificate of compatibility verifying that the
building to be constructed or substantially altered and redeveloped
is of a design, architectural character, scale, use, intensity of
use and appearance that is compatible and harmonious with the design,
architectural character, scale, use, intensity of use and appearance
with the buildings located on improved adjacent lots and those in
the immediate vicinity. For purposes of this section, "immediate vicinity"
shall include, but not be limited to, all properties fronting along
both sides of the street where the subject property is located, along
the longest line between intersecting streets, within the same zoning
district; or in the case of corner properties, the "immediate vicinity"
shall be considered to extend along both sides of the intersecting
streets, within the same zoning district. All submissions must include
front, back and side views of the building, as well as photos of the
street view of adjoining buildings located on improved adjoining lots
and those in the immediate vicinity and shall be accompanied with
an application form and fee in the amount of $25.
D.
Combined applications. If a certificate of compatibility is required
pursuant to this section in connection with any other application
presented to the Planning Board or Zoning Board of Adjustment for
a subject property, the requirements of this section shall be incorporated
into such other application, and no additional fee shall be required
for a certificate of compatibility.
Any uses not specifically permitted in a zone
district established by this chapter are hereby expressly prohibited
from that district.
Nothing contained in this chapter shall require
any change in the plans, construction or designated use of a building
complying with existing law, a permit for which shall have been issued
and the construction of which shall have been started before the date
of first publication of notice of a public hearing on this chapter.
[Amended 11-8-2004 by Ord. No. 2004-25]

principal building. No construction permit shall be issued for the
construction of an accessory building prior to the issuance of a construction
permit for the construction of the main building upon the same premises.
If construction of the main buildings does not precede or coincide
with the construction of the accessory building, the Construction
Official shall revoke the construction permit for the accessory building
until construction of the main building has proceeded substantially
toward completion.
C.
Distance between adjacent buildings. The minimum distance
between an accessory building and any other building(s) on the same
lot shall be as prescribed for the prevailing zoning district.

entirely within the boundaries of one property may be so installed
without the written consent of the adjacent property owner. Applications
for a permit to erect a fence on the property line such that portions
of the fence will reside on both sides of the property line must be
accompanied by the written approval of the adjacent property owner.
Fences shall not be erected on, along or near the property line if,
in the opinion of the Zoning Official, erection of the fence would
preclude or significantly interfere with the adjacent property owner's
ability to maintain his structure or would create a safety hazard.
[Added 7-11-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-06]
A.
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to promote and encourage
the use of electric vehicles by requiring the safe and efficient installation
of EVSE and make-ready parking spaces through municipal parking regulations
and other standards. EVSE and make-ready parking spaces will support
the state's transition to an electric transportation sector,
reducing automobile air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and stormwater
runoff contaminants. The goals are to:
(1)
Provide adequate and convenient EVSE and make-ready parking
spaces to serve the needs of the traveling public.
(2)
Provide opportunities for residents to have safe and efficient
personal EVSE located at or near their place of residence.
(3)
Provide the opportunity for nonresidential uses to supply EVSE
to their customers and employees.
(4)
Create standard criteria to encourage and promote safe, efficient,
and cost-effective electric vehicle charging opportunities in all
zones and settings for convenience of service to those that use electric
vehicles.
