The Planning Board shall exercise all powers of review of proposed

and it may exercise any powers of review not preempted by the Department
of Education of the State of New Jersey. The Planning Board shall
be guided in this review by the following minimum standards where
such standards do not conflict with any requirement of the Department
of Education of the State of New Jersey:
A.
The curriculum of the proposed school shall be approved by the New
Jersey Department of Education.
B.
The minimum lot area for an elementary school shall be five acres,
plus one additional acre for each 100 pupils. The minimum lot area
for an intermediate school, high school, or institution of higher
learning shall be 10 acres, plus one additional acre for each 100
pupils. No more than 20% of the site shall be covered by buildings.
C.
The minimum street frontage for an elementary school shall be 500
feet. The minimum street frontage for all other schools shall be 700
feet.
D.
The minimum depth of yards for high schools and junior high schools
shall be 100 feet for front yards, rear yards and each of two side
yards. No parking or play area shall be allowed within 75 feet of
any street or property line. For elementary schools, the minimum depth
requirements of yards shall be the same as for high schools and junior
high schools, except that the side yard requirement shall not be less
than 75 feet. Parking or play areas in the front yard of elementary
schools only shall be allowed within 10 feet of any street line.
E.
Off-street parking shall be provided in the following ratios: Elementary
schools shall provide one parking space for each staff member or employee,
plus one parking space for each 10 pupils, plus adequate space for
buses and delivery vehicles. All other schools shall provide one parking
space for each staff member or employee, plus one parking space for
each five pupils, plus adequate space for buses and delivery vehicles.
These requirements may be increased if, in the judgment of the Planning
Board, such consideration as the unavailability of the bus services,
the distance from centers of population, or a relatively high percentage
of pupils driving their own cars make such increased requirements
desirable.
F.
No driveway shall open onto a public street or road within 150 feet
of an intersection of such street or road with another public street
or road. In determining the suitability of proposed or existing driveways
upon the site, the Board shall consider such factors as grade and
site clearance; the number and pattern of driveways; the number, location
and design of ingress and egress points; the volume of traffic which
may be anticipated on the site and upon adjoining roads; and the condition
and width of pavement of adjoining roads.
G.
Illumination for night athletic activities shall be shielded from
view from adjoining streets and residential areas.
