(b)
Zoning Map. The boundaries of the zone districts are established
on the map entitled "Zoning Map," dated May 1979, revised May 1980,
which accompanies and is made part of this chapter.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is on file in the office of
the Township Clerk and is available for inspection during regular
business hours. A list of Zoning Map amendments is included at the
end of this chapter.
(c)
Interpretation of zone district boundaries.
(1)
Zone district boundary lines are intended to follow street center
lines, streams and lot or property lines unless otherwise indicated
by dimensions on the Zoning Map. Any dimensions shown shall be in
feet, measured horizontally and measured from the street right-of-way
line even if the center line of that street serves as a zone district
line. The location of any disputed zone district line shall be determined
by the Board of Adjustment, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70b. Zone
district lines extend vertically in both directions from ground level.
(2)
Where a street or public way serves as the zone district line
and it is lawfully vacated, the former center line shall be considered
the zone district line,
(3)
Where such boundaries are not fixed by dimensions and where
they approximately follow lot lines and where they do not scale more
than 25 feet distant therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed
to be such boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.
(a)
Prohibited uses. All uses not expressly permitted in this chapter are prohibited, notwithstanding the enumeration of prohibited uses in Section 33-26 hereof.
(b)
Nonconforming uses, lots and structures.
(1)
Continuance. Except as otherwise provided herein, the lawful
use of land or buildings existing at the date of the adoption or amendment
of this chapter may be continued, although such use or building does
not conform to the regulations specified by this chapter for the zone
in which such land or building is located; provided, however, that:
a.
Nonconforming lots shall not be further reduced.
b.
Nonconforming buildings shall not be enlarged, extended or increased,
but may be repaired, maintained or replaced, subject to the limitations
of Subsection (4)b herein.
c.
Nonconforming uses may not be expanded.
d.
Nonconforming two-family dwellings located within the R-S Single-Family
Residential Zone District shall be considered permitted principal
uses, provided that all of the following conditions are met:
1.
The property has been described on the Township tax records
as a two-family dwelling continuously from a date prior to January
1, 1977, through and including the present time.
2.
There are separate entrances to the dwelling units and no direct
access between the dwelling units.
3.
There are separate kitchens and at least one full bathroom for
each dwelling unit.
4.
There are separate water, gas for cooking and electric utilities
for each dwelling unit.
5.
Neither dwelling unit is a basement unit.
e.
Nonconforming structures may not be enlarged, extended, increased
or removed and replaced except as otherwise provided herein.
1.
Nonconforming structures located on property within the R-S
Zone District and which contain a single-family detached dwelling
may be removed and replaced, provided that all of the following conditions
are met:
[i]
Verification of the nonconformity must be either
through documentation of the existing structure on the most recent
tax assessment record card dated on or before December 31, 2006, or
by submission of a property survey, indicating the existing structure,
where such survey is dated on or before December 31, 2006, and the
nonconforming structure must exist on the property at the time of
application for removal and replacement.
[ii]
The size and location of the nonconforming structure
must be an exact replacement; except that the nonconforming structure
may be reduced in size, provided the resulting structure does not
further violate provisions of this chapter. No nonconforming structure,
if replaced at a reduced size, may then be changed back to the original
size which existed before the replacement.
[iii]
In the event of the destruction of a nonconforming
structure by reason of windstorm, fire, explosion or other act of
God or the public enemy, application to replace the structure must
be made within one year of the date of destruction. Verification of
the destruction of the nonconforming structure, in the form of a police
report, fire report, insurance claim or other document acceptable
to the Construction Official, must be submitted with the application
for removal and replacement.
[iv]
The nonconformity is a result of the existence,
location or size of one or more of the following structures:
[a]
Driveway.
[b]
Walkway.
[c]
Grade-level patio.
[d]
Air-conditioning condenser unit.
[e]
In-ground swimming pool.
[f]
Entry platform and steps.
[g]
Detached private garages.
[Added by Ord. No. 4281, 1-22-2013]
[h]
Retaining walls.
[Added by Ord. No. 4281, 1-22-2013]
[i]
Fences.
[Added by Ord. No. 4281, 1-22-2013]
(2)
Reversion. No nonconforming use shall, if once changed into
a conforming use, be changed back to a nonconforming use.
(3)
Abandonment. A nonconforming use shall be adjudged abandoned
when there occurs a cessation of any such use or activity for a continuous
period of one year. Such use shall not thereafter be reinstated, and
the structure shall not be reoccupied except in conformance with this
chapter.
(4)
Restoration, replacement or reconstruction.
[Amended by Ord. No. 4281, 1-22-2013; 1-17-2017 by Ord. No. 28-2016]
a.
Any lawful, preexisting nonconforming building may be restored
or repaired in the event of partial destruction.
b.
If any lawful, preexisting nonconforming building erected prior
to January 1, 2001, shall be destroyed by reason of windstorm, fire,
explosion or other act of God or the public enemy to the extent that
such destruction is deemed to be complete destruction, then such building
may be rebuilt, restored or repaired, provided that proof of the existence
and date of erection of such building shall be by location on a survey
dated prior to January 1, 2001, on records of the Township of Teaneck
or through the submission of an affidavit by the property owner and
at least one adjacent property owner stating that the building existed
prior to January 1, 2001, and that they owned their respective properties
prior to January 1, 2001.
c.
A lawful, preexisting one-family residential building which
is nonconforming by reason of minimum required lot size, minimum required
lot width or depth, coverage, height or yard setback regulations and
located within the R-S single-family residential zoning district may
be repaired or rebuilt in the event of either partial or total destruction
thereof, provided that such repair or rebuilding does not increase
the degree of nonconformity of such preexisting building immediately
prior to such partial or total destruction.
d.
A lawful, preexisting one-family residential building which
is nonconforming by reasons of minimum required lot size, minimum
required lot width or depth, coverage, height or yard setback regulations
and located within the R-S single-family residential zoning district,
may be altered or enlarged, provided that any such alteration or enlargement
shall itself fully comply with all applicable zoning regulations and
shall not increase the degree of nonconformity of the existing structure
with respect to height, coverage and/or yard setback regulations;
provided, however, that the nature of the use shall not be changed
from single-family residential use.
e.
If any other nonconforming building shall be destroyed by any
reason to the extent that such building is deemed to be substantially
totally destroyed, then such building may not be rebuilt, restored
or repaired, except in conformity with the regulations of this chapter.
The Township Construction Official shall apply the laws of the State
of New Jersey, including relevant case law, in determining whether
such destruction is partial or complete.
(5)
Certain additions to nonconforming lots and structures. On a corner lot, an air-conditioner compressor or similar structure furnishing central air conditioning to a single-family dwelling or two-family dwelling may be installed in the side yard abutting the intersecting street, if it cannot be installed at any other location without violating minimum side yard requirements, but only if it exhausts vertically. On an interior lot, an air-conditioner compressor as aforesaid may be installed in the front yard, subject to the foregoing provisions and further provision that it be screened in accordance with Section 33-15(s).
(6)
Building lots of record in R-S District. In cases where an owner
of a lot in the R-S District, approved as a building lot subdivision
under the Planning Act of 1953,[1] can utilize the lot for the uses permitted and comply
with all district requirements except area and frontage, and the merger
provisions hereinafter set forth do not apply, and nothing has been
done by the owner or predecessors in title to destroy the distinct
identity of the lot as a building site, the lot may be utilized without
obtaining a variance; provided, however, that no lot of less than
5,000 square feet in area or fifty-foot frontage shall be so used.
[1]
Editor's Note: The Municipal Planning Act of 1953 (N.J.S.A.
40:55-1.1) was repealed by Chapter 291 of the Laws of 1975. See now
N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq.
(7)
Merger. In the case of any lot which is deficient in area or
width by the terms of this chapter, the rights acquired or existing
therein to use the lot as a building site shall terminate and become
nonexistent and void should the deficient lot merge in fee with any
adjoining vacant lot abutting on the same street. A merger shall be
deemed to have occurred if the same person or persons have equitable
or legal ownership of both lots.
(c)
Principal use; frontage upon an improved street. Not more than one
principal building shall be located on a lot, except those buildings
that comprise a planned development, as in the redevelopment districts.
No lot may be developed unless it fronts upon an improved public street,
except for lots in a planned development, as in the redevelopment
districts.
(d)
Enforcement; zoning permit; violations and penalties.
(1)
It shall be the duty of the Zoning Officer to administer and
enforce the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance, and no building permit
or zoning permit shall be issued unless the proposed structure, use,
awning, canopy, temporary activity or construction activity complies
with this chapter.
(2)
In case any building or structure is erected, altered, converted
or maintained or any building, structure or land is used in violation
of this chapter, the Township or an interested party, in addition
to other remedies, may institute appropriate action to prevent such
unlawful erection, alteration, conversion, maintenance or use; to
restrain, correct or abate such violation; to prevent the occupancy
of said building, structure or land; and to prevent any illegal act,
conduct, business or use in or about such premises. Any person convicted
of such violations before a court of competent jurisdiction shall
be subject to a penalty not to exceed the maximum amount permitted
under N.J.S.A. 40:49-5 and as amended hereafter, and/or 90 days in
jail. Each day that a violation of this section continues shall be
deemed a separate and distinct violation.
(3)
Zoning permit.
[Amended by Ord. No. 4281, 1-22-2013; 12-15-2015 by Ord. No. 42-2015]
a.
A zoning permit shall be required as a condition precedent to
the commencement of a use, or change of use, or the erection, construction,
reconstruction, alteration, conversion or installation of a structure
or building, excluding fences and sheds. As used herein, "change of
use" shall be deemed to include any change in the utilization of a
building or lot or part thereof where the resulting use is subject
to bulk, dimensional, special or other zoning regulations which are
different than those impressed upon the prior use.
b.
A zoning permit shall be issued by the Zoning Officer when all requirements of Chapter 33, Development Regulations, Article V, Zoning, have been met. After a change of use has been made on a lot or in a building or structure, a zoning permit shall be required and no certificate of occupancy shall be issued without the required zoning permit.
c.
A written application for a zoning permit shall be filed with
the Zoning Officer by the owner or his agent. The application shall
include the following:
1.
The name and address of the owner or his agent.
2.
The location of the building, structure or lot.
3.
The existing or last prior and proposed uses of the building
or property.
4.
The number of occupants or employees, maximum number of parking
spaces available, number of tenants (if the building is to be multitenanted)
and the total square footage of the building or lot if there is no
building.
d.
When a building, structure or lot is entitled to a zoning permit, the Zoning Officer shall cause it to be issued within 10 days after written application therefor. A zoning permit shall certify the purpose for which the building, structure or lot may be used. It shall specify the permitted use category, the date of issuance and any special stipulations and conditions of the permit. The Zoning Officer shall affix his signature thereto and shall certify that such use, structure or building complies with the provisions of Chapter 33, Development Regulations, Article V, Zoning, or any variance therefrom duly authorized by a municipal approving authority.
e.
Should the Zoning Officer be in doubt as to the propriety of
issuing any permit in the particular case, he shall refer the matter
to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for interpretation and decision.
f.
The Zoning Officer may revoke a zoning permit whenever a condition
of the permit has been violated.
g.
A zoning permit shall always be subject to the following conditions:
1.
That the use, building or structure to which it relates meets
the conditions of all building permits, approved drawings and any
prior approvals granted by the Township.
2.
That all required fees have been paid in full.
3.
That all necessary inspections have been completed and that the completed project meets the requirements of Chapter 33, Development Regulations.
4.
That all violations have been corrected and that any assessed
penalties have been paid.
h.
Except where otherwise required by state statute, regulation
or ordinance provision, a survey shall not be required as part of
the application for the issuance of a zoning permit for the repair
or improvement of an existing structure or improvement, including
sidewalks, patios, sheds, decks, driveways, and other structures,
located on single-family or two-family properties.
(e)
Issuance of permits; official map. For the purpose of preserving
the integrity of the Official Map, no permit shall be issued for any
building or structure in the bed of any street or public drainageway,
flood control basin or public area reserved pursuant to law as shown
on the Official Map, except as provided in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-34.
(f)
General rules for interpretation and application of dimensional requirements.
(1)
Street block. A street block shall be deemed to include both
sides of the street, from the center line of one street intersection
to the next nearest street intersection, except that:
a.
In the case of an entering street which does not continue through
the opposite side, the street block shall include both sides of the
street measured from the center line of the entering street to the
center line of the next street intersection.
b.
In the case of a lot located between two entering streets, the
street block shall include both sides of the street between the center
lines of the two entering streets.
c.
For the purposes of determining permissible deviation from lot
width standards, in the case of an entering street which does not
continue through the opposite side and in the event that the center
line of the entering street intersects a lot on the opposite side,
the lot shall be deemed included within the street block on both sides
of the center line of the entering street.
(2)
Corner lots.
a.
Yard width or setback requirements. Except in the redevelopment
districts which are subject to special criteria set forth in this
chapter, a principal building shall meet the minimum front yard setback
requirements of the district from both streets, and, if the lot is
in the R-S, B-2 or L-I District and the street block includes another
district with greater front setback requirements, the principal building
shall also comply with the greater setback requirement. The remaining
property lines shall be considered side yard lines and the building
shall comply with the minimum side yard requirements for the district
in which the lot is located with respect to those side yards.
b.
Establishing frontage and front yards. The following rules shall
pertain in the following districts:
1.
R-S District. The developer shall have the option of designating
which street line shall be the front line of the lot, at the time
application is made for a building permit. Failing said designation,
the Zoning Officer shall establish the front line.
2.
R-M District. If the street lines of the corner lot vary in
length, the lot shall be deemed to front upon the street line of greater
length. If the street lines are of equal length, the developer shall
have the option of designating which street line shall be the front
line of the lot, at the time application is made for a building permit.
Failing said designation, the Zoning Officer shall establish the front
line.
3.
B-1, B-2, B-R and L-I Districts. The front line shall be on
the street whereon over 50% of the lots on the street block are in
the same zoning district as the subject corner lot. If both streets
so comply, the front line shall be on the street designated on the
Official Map as a secondary arterial street, or failing same, as a
collector street. If both streets are so designated, the developer
shall have the option of designating which street line shall be the
front line of the lot, at the time application is made for a building
permit. Failing said designation, the Zoning Officer shall establish
the front line.
4.
U, H, RR-M, RC-1, RC-2 and RC-3 Districts. Not applicable.
(3)
Yard areas.
a.
No building other than a single-family detached dwelling shall
be constructed, altered or moved nearer than 40 feet to the center
line of any street or streets upon which its lot may abut or front.
b.
An open platform or a roofed-over but unenclosed projection
in the nature of an entry or portico, not more than eight feet wide
and extending not more than six feet out from the front wall of the
building and front entry steps leading from the front door down to
grade, shall be exempt from the requirements of this section when
the building otherwise complies with the regulations of this section.
In computing the average setback, the presence of such entries, porticos
and platforms shall be ignored. Chimneys extending not more than 18
inches into the existing side yard shall be exempt from the requirements
of this section.
c.
An open platform or a roofed-over but unenclosed projection
in the nature of an entry or portico, not more than four feet wide
and extending not more than four feet out from the side wall of the
building and side entry steps leading from the side door down to grade,
shall be exempt from the requirements of this section when the building
otherwise complies with the regulations of this section. The open
platform may be a maximum of 32 inches above the adjacent grade.
[Added by Ord. No. 4281, 1-22-2013]
d.
Safety railings, surrounding basement emergency escape and rescue
bulkhead enclosures, basement garage retaining walls and basement
access stairs, as accessory structures to one-family and two-family
detached dwellings, in accordance with the following provisions, may
be placed within any yard area:
[Added by Ord. No. 4281, 1-22-2013[2]]
1.
The safety railing may be a maximum of 36 inches high above
the upper adjacent grade.
2.
The safety railing must be made of metal and painted black,
dark brown or dark green.
3.
The balusters may be a maximum of one inch in width and a maximum
of four inches on center.
4.
The safety railing must contain an access gate that shall be
releasable or removable from the inside without the use of a key,
tool, special knowledge or force greater than that which is required
for normal operation of the escape and rescue opening.
[2]
Editor's Note: Pursuant to this amendment, former Subsection
(f)(3)(c), Hackensack River buffer, was renumbered to Subsection (f)(3)(e).
e.
Hackensack River buffer.
1.
Definition. The Hackensack River buffer is defined as all that
land a distance of 50 feet from the mean high water line as determined
by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. In the event the mean
high water mark has not been determined by the United States Army
Corps of Engineers, then the mean high water mark elevation as shown
upon the Township Tax Assessment Maps shall be used.
2.
Buffer area. Said buffer shall consist of:
[i]
Natural plant materials;
[ii]
No disturbance of established vegetation, unless
disturbance is required to remove nonnative species and reestablish
native plant materials or to install;
[iii]
A pathway, benches, lighting and waste receptacles
in accordance with standards established by the governing body.
3.
Documentation. Sufficient information to permit a determination
as to the mean high water mark shall be provided by an applicant for
development on any lot adjacent to the Hackensack River.
f.
Bow
window or bay windows, including floor to ceiling enclosures therefor,
extending not more than 24 inches from the exterior wall of a single-family
dwelling within the R-S Residential Single-Family Detached District,
may be placed within any yard area without violating the yard setback
or coverage limitations.
[Added by 1-17-2017 by Ord. No. 30-2016]
(4)
Height.
a.
Residential dwellings except in the RR-M District. At least
51% of the length of the roof ridge must have at least a twenty-two-foot
height above the average ground level on three sides of the building.
Where the ridge height of a split-level dwelling is measured from
the ground level, the dwelling shall have a second floor ceiling with
a minimum height of seven feet six inches.
b.
Exceptions in all districts. The height limitations of this chapter shall not apply to silos, church spires, belfries, cupolas, mechanical penthouses and domes not used for human occupancy; nor to chimneys, ventilators, skylights, water tanks, bulkheads, television antennas and, except as hereinafter limited, necessary mechanical appurtenances usually carried above the roof level. Such features, however, shall be erected only to such height as is necessary to accomplish the purpose they are to serve. The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to prevent the erection of a parapet wall above the building height limit, provided that the same does not exceed 42 inches and is without windows. All appurtenances shall be screened in accordance with the standards and specifications of Section 33-15(s). Necessary mechanical appurtenances either in excess of 100 square feet on any side or greater than eight feet in height shall not be exempt from the height limitations of this chapter, except that elevator penthouses and stair bulkheads are exempt notwithstanding their size, and except for necessary mechanical appurtenances in the RC-1, RC-2 and RC-3 Districts.
(5)
Awnings and canopies. Awnings and canopies are permitted in
all districts as accessory structures, accessory to the building to
which they are affixed, in accordance with the following criteria:
a.
They shall be permitted only on building walls that front on
a public street.
b.
They shall be limited in size and placement as follows:
1.
Total area shall not exceed four square feet for each square
foot of front wall width.
2.
They shall not project more than three feet from the building
wall.
3.
They shall not project past the property line, except for nonresidential
uses in B-1, B-2 and BR Districts.
4.
The bottom of the awning and the bottom of the horizontal plane
of the canopy shall be not less than eight feet above grade, and the
top of the awning or canopy shall be no higher than 12 feet above
grade.
5.
They shall be mounted below any sign and above the storefront.
c.
They shall be constructed of weather-resistant, matte acrylic
material that will not readily tear and shall be securely affixed
so that they will not readily become detached from the structure to
which they are accessory.
d.
They shall not interfere with any window, fire escape or opening
designed to provide light and air or ingress to or egress from any
building.
e.
Awnings and canopies for each occupant in a single building
with multiple occupants shall be uniform in color, height and design.
f.
Awnings shall be retractable and must be retracted daily at
the close of business.
g.
The following solid colors are permitted: burgundy/maroon, dark
green, dark blue, dark brown and black.
h.
No sign may be drawn or otherwise inscribed upon awnings or
canopies.
(g)
Waiver or modification of accessory use and conditional use criteria;
distinction.
(1)
Accessory uses. A condition qualifying the location or operation
of a permitted accessory use may be waived or modified by variance.
This shall not be deemed to allow an accessory use in a district which
does not permit same.
(2)
Conditional uses. A condition qualifying the location or operation
of a permitted conditional use may be waived or modified by the Planning
Board, if permitted by law, based upon the following determination:
a.
The condition or conditions that cannot be adhered to can be
waived or modified without adverse effect to the surrounding neighborhood
and without substantial impairment or interference with the proposed
use; and
b.
The literal enforcement of one or more of the conditions is
impracticable or will impose undue hardship because of peculiar conditions
pertaining to the land in question.
|
The foregoing shall not be deemed to allow a conditional use
in a district which does not permit same.
|
(h)
Handicapped ramps for wheelchair access.
(1)
Notwithstanding anything contained in this chapter to the contrary,
in the event a property owner of a single-family or two-family dwelling
requires the addition of a handicap ramp for wheelchair access to
the property owner's dwelling for use by a person(s) residing therein,
such property owner is required to obtain a zoning permit and a building
permit, as applicable. It is acknowledged that not all such ramps
would violate the bulk requirements of a zone and, as such, not all
such ramps would require a variance. However, where such a proposed
ramp does violate a bulk requirement of the zone, in addition to the
requirement of a building permit, the applicant must also obtain a
handicapped ramp license from the Building Department and, in doing
so, may be exempt from having to obtain a variance if the following
is provided with the application for the building permit:
a.
A certification of a licensed physician that the person must
be in a wheelchair during ingress and egress from the dwelling; and
b.
A certification from a licensed architect that there are no
reasonable means of access to and from the dwelling without the use
of a handicap ramp. For purposes of this section, "reasonable means"
shall not be deemed to include the installation of an outdoor wheelchair
lift.
|
Upon approval of the plans and issuance of the building permit,
a handicapped ramp license for the ramp shall be issued, which license
shall expire one year from the date of issuance.
|
(2)
Prior to the expiration of any handicapped ramp license, the
holder of the license may apply to the Building Department for a renewal
of same, which application for renewal shall include an updated certification

(6)
Design guidelines. The design of all townhouse developments
in the R-TH District shall adhere to the residential design guidelines
as hereinbelow set forth:
a.
Entries.
1.
Elevation. The primary entry and first floor of living space
is encouraged to be elevated at least 24 inches above grade by use
of a base foundation, or a basement level.
2.
Articulation.
[i]
The primary entry to a dwelling should be emphasized
through stairs and a porch, crown, overhang, projecting bay, or other
element that provides shelter at the doorway. Unadorned entries that
are flush and "punched out" of the façade are discouraged.
Examples of methods to highlight an entry are:
[a]
Doorway in bay projecting at least three feet from
the primary façade plane with a prominent cross gable, usually
steeply pitched.
[b]
Doorway accentuated by a stoop with decorative
crown surrounded by pilasters, or extended forward and supported by
slender columns to form a modest entry porch.
[c]
Doorway accentuated by a wide front porch extending
at least halfway across the front façade width.
[ii]
Standalone full-height columns flanking an entry
are only appropriate in combination with symmetrical façade
design, vertically proportioned windows with shutters, and an entry
porch spanning the full height and/or the full width of the building.
Such columns should not be of brick.
3.
Pattern and glazing.
[i]
The number and spacing of columns, pilasters, fanlights,
or sidelights framing front doors should be symmetrical, placed evenly
on both sides of door.
[ii]
Front doors should be paneled, with or without
glazing.
[iii]
Front doors should be single. Double or French-door
style front doors are strongly discouraged.
b.
Windows.
1.
Proportions.
[i]
Each window should be rectangular and vertically
proportioned (height greater than width), and double-hung.
[ii]
Palladian windows, rounded top windows, or round-top
arches over windows are permitted only if the entire window is contained
within one story. Such windows may not project into the eave or cornice
line of the roof, or into the floors above.
[iii]
Horizontally proportioned windows are discouraged.
To create a wider expanse of windows, vertically proportioned windows
may be paired or tripled side-by-side, but only with a dividing structural
member between each window.
2.
Articulation.
[i]
If shutters are used, they should be of correct
width to cover the window if closed. Shutters should not be used for
paired or tripled window clusters.
[ii]
Windows with multipane glazing are encouraged,
but only with true divided panes with mullions and muntins that cast
a shadow on the glass. Panes may be either on both the top and bottom
half, or just on the top half of window.
[iii]
Single-pane or plate glass picture windows are
strongly discouraged.
3.
Placement and spacing.
[i]
The pattern of windows should be symmetrically
spaced on the front façade of the building and any street-facing
elevations, not randomly placed.
[ii]
Windows on upper and lower stories should be vertically
aligned atop each other and should not be staggered or randomly placed.
[iii]
Window placement may be more random on the interior
of the lot, that is, not facing the street or adjacent property, and
at rear of buildings.
[iv]
Windows should not project above the cornice line
of each story or into the gabled roof line. An extension of windows
into the floor above, mimicking a dormer window, is strongly discouraged
because this implies one tall loft-style floor rather than a separate
floor or attic space. Distinct dormer windows that suggest a separate
(typically third) floor are encouraged.
c.
Materials.
1.
Finished materials should extend around all sides of the relevant
element of a building. Applications such as a short return around
corners give the appearance of pasted-on veneer and shall be avoided.
For example, a brick veneer should not be pasted onto a building with
wood sides.
2.
A change in materials should be used to reflect or highlight
different massing elements; for example, a projection or a cross-gabled
bay may have a different material. Materials should not change between
floors without an intervening cornice, belt course, projecting eave,
or porch.
3.
Preferred primary building facing materials are dark red brick,
wood stick, and stucco.
4.
Stonework should only be used in limited quantities to highlight
building bases or entries, and should appear to be load-bearing.
5.
EIFS material is strongly discouraged.
6.
No more than two primary materials should be used per building.
7.
For brick façades, decorative or varied brickwork around
entries and windows is encouraged.
8.
Sheets or panels of brick or stone facing should have carefully
grooved seams to avoid obvious seams and a pasted-on appearance.
d.
Roof lines.
1.
Cross-gabled, center gable, and hipped roofs are encouraged.
2.
The slope of pitched portions of gabled, gambrel, or hipped
roofs should be between 5V:12H and 12V:12H.
3.
If street-facing building mass is more than 50 feet wide, the
roof line shall be broken up using cross gables, a hipped roof, and/or
dormer windows.
e.
Chimneys. No exterior chimneys should be located on the front
façade. Exterior chimneys must be in middle of the side façade,
or at the rear façade.
f.
Garages.
1.
The placement of a garage must be secondary to the building
entry, using one or both of the following two methods:
[i]
The garage entry and any building mass above it
shall be recessed at least three feet from the primary façade
plane of the residence and from primary entry; or
[ii]
The garage entry shall be flush with the primary
façade plane, but recessed at least halfway below grade (that
is, the garage floor shall be at least four feet below grade), with
a sloping driveway.
2.
Rear garages, whether separate or attached, driveway or alley-accessed,
are encouraged.
3.
Side-loading garages (which do not face the street) are also
encouraged, provided they meet the placement requirements described
above.
4.
Each garage bay shall not exceed 11 feet in width, and garage
doors may not exceed 10 feet in width.
5.
Each garage bay shall have its own door and doorway; double-wide
garage doors are strongly discouraged.
6.
Garage doors should be paneled, with or without glazing. Stable-style
side-hinged doors and glazing are encouraged.

Wireless communications towers and antennas.
(1)
Purpose. The purpose of this subsection is to establish general
guidelines for the siting of wireless communications towers and antennas.
The goals of this subsection are to protect residential areas and
land uses from potential adverse impacts of towers and antennas; encourage
the location of towers in nonresidential areas; minimize the total
number of towers throughout the community; strongly encourage the
joint use of new and existing tower sites as a primary option rather
than construction of additional single-use towers; encourage users
of towers and antennas to locate them, to the extent possible, in
areas where the adverse impact on the community is minimal; encourage
users of towers and antennas to configure them in a way that minimizes
the adverse visual impact of the towers and antennas through careful
design, siting, landscape screening and innovative camouflaging techniques;
enhance the ability of the providers of telecommunications services
to provide such services to the community quickly, effectively and
efficiently; consider the public health and safety of communication
towers; and avoid potential damage to adjacent properties from tower
failure through engineering and careful siting of tower structures.
In furtherance of these goals, the Township of Teaneck shall give
due consideration to the Township of Teaneck's Master Plan, Zoning
Map, existing land uses and environmentally sensitive areas in approving
sites for the location of towers and antennas.
(2)

(a)
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to require off-street facilities
for parking motor vehicles and loading and unloading motor vehicles
in recognition of the fact that the primary function of the public
streets is to move vehicular traffic safely and conveniently, and
that parking, loading and delivery functions performed within the
public street are in conflict with that function. Therefore, this
section requires off-street parking and related facilities for new
development, changes in use and/or occupancy of existing buildings
and expansion of existing buildings, with certain enumerated exceptions
where existing development renders such requirements impractical,
and the close proximity of municipal parking obviates the need for
on-site facilities.
(b)
Minimum requirements for off-street parking and loading and unloading.
All off-street parking areas, including driveways, shall be paved
with a dustless, durable, all-weather pavement and shall be adequately
drained. All off-street parking areas, including driveways, accessory
to a one-family or two-family detached dwelling, may be paved with
commercially available unit pavers and shall be adequately drained.
All parking areas, except when accessory to a one-family or two-family
detached dwelling, shall be clearly marked for parking spaces.
(1)
Excluded areas.
a.
Off-street parking and loading and unloading shall not be required
in the following portions of B-1, MX-1 and MX-2 Districts:
b.
In other portions of B-1, MX-1 and MX-2 Districts, the approving
authority shall consider the nearby location of public parking lots
or other parking facilities as a basis for waiving or reducing the
amount of parking to be provided.
(2)
Rules of construction.
a.
Multiple uses. Where a particular function contains more than
one use, the minimum parking and loading and unloading requirements
shall be the sum of the component parts.
b.
Expanded uses. Where an existing use is expanded, the minimum
parking and loading and unloading requirements shall be applied to
both the existing use and the expansion thereof.
c.
Fractional count. When the computation to determine the number
of off-street parking spaces or loading spaces results in a fractional
number, the fractional number shall be rounded upward to the next
whole number.
d.
Unspecified uses. Any use not specified in this section shall comply with the requirement which is applicable to the most similar use, except that the conditional use categories and their criteria, set forth in Section 33-25, contain the minimum requirements for off-street parking and loading and unloading.
e.
Handicap spaces. Spaces mandated by law for handicapped persons
shall not be considered in the computation to determine the number
of existing or proposed off-street spaces.

(a)
Private organization to manage undedicated common open space. In the event that land is to be developed for multifamily housing, or existing multifamily housing is to be converted into condominium or cooperative ownership, resulting in a planned unit residential development or residential cluster which would generate common open space (as defined in Section 33-3), or which would generate common property incidental thereto (such as private streets, parking areas and recreational facilities), and such common open space and/or improvements will not be dedicated to the Township, the developer shall provide for an organization for the ownership and maintenance of such land for the benefit of owners of properties within the development.
(b)
Bar on disposition of common open space. The organization shall not
be dissolved and shall not dispose of any common open space or property
incidental thereto by sale or otherwise, except to an organization
conceived and established to own and maintain such common open space
and property for the benefit of such development. Therefore, such
organization shall not be dissolved or dispose of any of its common
open space or property without first offering to dedicate the same
to the Township of Teaneck.
(c)
Default in management of common open space.
(1)
Notice. In the event that such organization shall fall to maintain
the common open space and property in reasonable order and condition,
the Township Council may serve written notice upon such organization
or upon the owners of the development setting forth the manner in
which the organization has failed to maintain the common open space
and property in reasonable condition, and said notice shall include
a demand that such deficiencies of maintenance be cured within 35
days thereof, and shall state the date and place of a hearing thereon,
which shall be held within 15 days of the notice.
(2)
Hearing; municipal intervention. At such hearing, the Township
Council may modify the terms of the original notice as to deficiencies
and may give a reasonable extension of time not to exceed 65 days
within which the deficiencies shall be cured. If the deficiencies
set forth in the original notice or in the modification thereof shall
not be cured within 35 days or any permitted extension thereof, the
Township may enter upon and maintain such land in order to preserve
the common open space and properties and maintain the same for a period
of one year. Said entry and maintenance shall not vest in the public
any rights to use the common open space or property, except when the
same is voluntarily dedicated to the public by the owners.
(3)
Extension of Township maintenance. Before the expiration of
said year, the Township Council shall, upon its initiative or upon
the request of the organization theretofore responsible for the maintenance
of the common open space or property, call a public hearing upon 15
days' written notice to such organization and to the owners of the
development, to be held by the Township Council, at which hearing
such organization and the owners of the development shall show cause
why such maintenance by the Township shall not, at the election of
the Township, continue for a succeeding year. If the Township Council
shall determine that such organization is ready and able to maintain
said open space or property in reasonable order and condition, the
municipality shall cease to maintain said open space or property at
the end of said year. If the Township Council shall determine that
such organization is not ready and able to maintain said common open
space and property in a reasonable condition, the Township may, in
its discretion, continue to maintain said common open space during
the next succeeding year, subject to a similar hearing and determination,
in each year thereafter. The decision of the Township Council in any
such case shall constitute a final decision, subject to judicial review.
(d)
Assessing the cost of maintenance. The cost of such maintenance by
the Township shall be assessed pro rata against the properties within
the development that have a right of enjoyment of the common open
space, in accordance with assessed value at the time of imposition
of the lien, and shall become a lien and tax on said properties and
shall be added to and shall be a part of the taxes to be levied and
assessed thereon and shall be enforced and collected with interest
by the same officers and in the same manner as other municipal taxes.
(e)
Removal of brush, weeds, filth, etc., by Township when organization
fails to do so.
(1)
Applicability of Sections 19-16 and 19-17 of Township Code. The provisions of Sections 19-16 and 19-17 of the Township Code are hereby made applicable to the undedicated common open space, property and improvements managed, owned and maintained by the organization provided for by the developer as required by this chapter in Section 33-30(a) above.

within the Special Improvement District will help defray the cost
of providing needed additional municipal services not provided elsewhere
throughout the Township and will enable the District Management Corporation
to carry out its functions and duties.

The creation of a Special Improvement District and the designation
of a District Management Corporation will promote economic growth
and employment, foster and encourage self-help programs, enhance the
local business climate and otherwise be in the best interests of the
