This chapter shall be known and cited as the "Zoning Ordinance
of the Township of Verona."
A.
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this chapter
shall be held to be minimum requirements adopted for the promotion
of the public health, safety, morals and general welfare. Among other
purposes, those provisions are intended to provide for adequate light,
air and convenience of access; to lessen congestion in the streets;
to secure safety from fire and other dangers; to avoid undue concentration
of population by regulating and limiting the use of land and the height
and bulk of buildings wherever erected; to limit and determine the
size of yards, courts and other open spaces and to regulate the density
of population, all with reasonable consideration to the character
of the district and its peculiar suitability for particular uses and
with a view to conserving the value of property and encourage the
most appropriate use of land throughout the Township of Verona.
B.
It is not intended by this chapter to repeal, abrogate, annul or
in any way impair or interfere with existing provisions of other laws
or ordinances, except those specifically or impliedly repealed in
this chapter, or any private restrictions placed on property by covenant,
deed or other private agreement unless repugnant thereto. Where this
chapter imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or
premises or upon the height of buildings or lot coverage or requires
greater lot areas or larger yards, courts or other open spaces than
are imposed or required by such existing provisions of law or ordinance,
or by such rules and regulations of law or ordinance, or by such rules,
regulations, permits or by such private restrictions, the provisions
of this chapter shall control.
If any two or more regulations contained within the zoning ordinance
appear to, or do conflict, the most restrictive regulation shall apply.
