The Downtown Preservation District gives special recognition to the
unique characteristics of the designated area as they reflect the
eighteenth- and nineteenth-century history, architecture, land use
relationships and small village way of life. The creation of this
district is an attempt to retain and preserve any structures and sites
of historic significance whose age and character, both individually
and collectively, create the tone and character of the designated
area. These regulations are intended to prevent any construction,
demolition or exterior alteration which would injure, depreciate or
conflict with the tone and character of the district.

Permitted Principal Uses. Professional offices as defined in Section 34-3 of this chapter and single-family dwellings.
g.

in reaching a decision and shall also be empowered to engage experts
as deemed necessary and as permitted by budgetary considerations.
The Unified Planning Board and its advisory committee shall give consideration
to the following:
(a)
The historical or architectural value and significance of the
building or structure and its relationship to the historic value of
the surrounding area.
(b)
The general compatibility of exterior design, arrangement and
materials proposed to be used.
(c)
Any other factor, including aesthetics, which it deems pertinent.
2.
The Unified Planning Board shall not disapprove applications pursuant
to this section except in regard to the considerations as set forth
in paragraphs g1, 2 and 3 above. It is the intent of this section
that alterations or repairs on, and additions to historic and architecturally
significant buildings and structures be made in the spirit of their
architectural style. Criteria for evaluation of historic buildings
and structures shall be those developed by the National Trust for
Historic Preservation.

and peaceful possession of the residential property. Such fence shall
not be less than 75% solid and shall be located only as shown on the
site plan approved by the Unified Planning Board.

by an approval of the Unified Planning Board or Borough Council, as
the case may be, the same shall be planted prior to the issuance of
the Certificate of Occupancy for the use on the property; provided,
however, that when the season or weather conditions do not permit
such plantings to coincide with the completion of the buildings or
structures, same shall be accomplished with a time to be specified
in the issuance of such Certificate of Occupancy, based upon the season
of the year when issued.
(b)
No Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued for any use requiring
landscaping, seeding and/or planted buffer area under this chapter,
or as a condition of any approval under this chapter, unless the owner
shall have filed with the Borough the performance guaranties herein
required, sufficient in amount to cover the costs of such required
plantings, including replacement thereof and maintenance thereof for
a two-year period.
(c)
10% of the total estimated costs of all such plantings, as aforesaid,
shall be deposited in cash or equivalent with the Borough Treasurer,
conditioned upon the proper planting and seeding (where such has not
already taken place) and maintenance for a period of two years, and/or
assurance that the same will survive two growing seasons or be replaced
if same should die within such time. Such deposit, or any portion
thereof in an amount as certified by the Borough Engineer and approved
by the Borough Council may be expended by the Borough if the owner
shall fail within 30 days after written notice to make such plantings,
or replace dead or dying trees or shrubs, as the case may be, or to

a performance bond, which shall be issued by a bonding or surety company
approved by the Borough Council, a certified check or cash deposit
or any other type of surety acceptable to the Borough Council and
approved as to form by the Borough Attorney.
(e)
The posting of a performance guaranty as set forth above shall
not relieve the owner from the obligation to perform nor shall such
guaranty preclude the Borough from revocation of the Certificate of
Occupancy where the owner fails to perform.

Where fences are to be installed as part of an initial application
involving a building or other structures, the same shall be shown
on the site plan, and the nature of the proposed fence shall be described.

No part of any driveway may be located within five feet of a side
property line. However, upon application to the Unified Planning Board

Planning Board may permit a driveway serving two or more adjacent
sites to be located on or within five feet of a side property line
between the adjacent site.

a minimum clear distance of 25 feet measured along the right-of-way
line shall separate the closest edges of any two such driveways.

the road at an angle as near ninety (90°) degrees as site conditions
will permit, and in no case will be less than sixty (60°) degrees.
i.
Buffer.

There shall be a twenty-foot buffer area along any side line or rear
line which abuts the residential zone. If the area is substantially
screened by natural trees and growth, the same shall be left in its
natural state. If the area is not substantially screened in its natural
state, it shall be planted with shrubs and trees so as to provide
an adequate screen from the residential properties.
2.
In the event the width of the parcel at the building line exceeds
100 feet and adjoins a residential property, the buffer area shall
be increased by 10% of the footage exceeding the initial 100 feet
at the building line to a maximum buffer of 50 feet.
3.

or any part or portion thereof, has been terminated or discontinued
for a period of two years, such nonconforming use shall not thereafter
be reestablished, and all future use shall be in conformity with the
provisions of this chapter. Such termination or discontinuance of
the active and continuous operation of such nonconforming use, or
a part or portion thereof, for such period of two years shall be presumed
to be an abandonment of such nonconforming use, regardless of any
reservation of an intent not to abandon same or of an intent to resume
active operations.
2.
If actual abandonment in fact is evidenced by the substantial removal
of buildings, structures, machinery, equipment and other evidences
of such nonconforming use of the land and premises, the abandonment
shall be construed and considered to be completed within a period
of less than two years, and all rights to reestablish or continue
such nonconforming use shall thereupon terminate.

accordance with the following:
(a)
An applicant requesting approval of a shared parking approach

and its professionals for review. In preparing the analysis, the applicant
shall follow the procedures for shared parking specified in the current
edition of the Urban Land Institute (ULI), Shared Parking Manual and

The report shall evaluate and illustrate the temporal distribution
of the parking demand for all the uses proposed and confirm that the

parking agreement with the Borough or private entity, to be approved
by the Board, for utilization of a parking lot or facility within

Residential Site Improvement Standards, NJAC 5:21-4.14(b).
(c)
Any approval of a shared parking approach in conjunction with a site plan approval of a mixed use development shall be conditioned upon maintaining substantially the same mix of uses as originally approved. Any proposed change in use within a mixed use development, to a use with a higher parking requirement, as set forth in Section 34-43, shall require the submission and approval of a zoning permit. Said zoning permit application shall include a revised shared parking analysis report. The approval of the zoning permit by the Zoning Official shall be made only after a finding of the Borough Engineer that the peak parking demand can continue to be fully met consistent with the originally approved shared parking approach.
