The following off-street parking and loading requirements are
hereby established as zoning requirements and any deviations therefrom
will require a variance in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq.
[Ord. No. 97-09]
The off-street parking and loading requirements of this article
7 shall be applicable to all development applications, unless a particular
standard or requirement in this article has been specifically superseded
by a Statewide Residential Site Improvement Standard validly adopted
by the New Jersey Commissioner of Community Affairs pursuant to N.J.A.C.
5:21. In the event of future amendments of the Residential Site Improvement
Act, N.J.S.A. 40:55D-40.1, then only those specific sections of this
article which are covered by the Act shall be superseded by the Statewide
Residential Site Improvement Standards as then in effect, and all
other standards of this article 7 shall remain in force and shall
be applicable to all land development applications in every case.
All off-street parking and loading space as required by this
article or as may be provided by a nonresidential or nonagricultural
user of land shall be designed and maintained in accordance with the
following, except in connection with one-family units.
All such space which is provided to meet the minimum requirements
of this chapter shall be located on the same lot as that on which
the use it is intended to serve is located and shall not be subsequently
encroached upon or reduced in any manner.
All such space, together with all related driveways and passageways,
shall be properly drained and paved with a dust-free asphaltic or
concrete pavement in a manner approved by the Township Engineer.
The paved surface of all loading areas and all parking areas
for 10 or more vehicles shall be provided with curbing to preclude
driving or parking on lawn or landscaped areas. Such curbing shall
be poured concrete or Belgian block and constructed in a manner approved
by the Township Engineer.
The collective provision of such space by two or more uses located
on adjacent properties is permitted, provided that the total amount
of such space shall not be less than the total requirement for all
uses if computed separately.
Such space may be located in a required yard area but shall
not be within 20 feet of a street line.
All loading areas and all parking areas for 10 or more vehicles shall be planted in accordance with a landscape plan approved by the Planning Board pursuant to the requirements of § 35-9-2 for the submission of documents. All such landscape plans shall conform to the following:
a.
At least one tree shall be planted for every 20 spaces in the parking
lot.
b.
Trees shall have no branches less than six feet above ground and
shall be staggered and so located so as not to interfere with driver
vision at street or driveway intersections.
c.
All such plantings which do not survive the first growing season
shall be replaced.
All off-street parking areas shall conform to the following
additional requirements:
Individual parking stalls shall measure not less than nine feet
by 18 feet.
All parking spaces shall have unencumbered access to an aisle
having the following minimum dimensions:

Wherever possible, in large scale parking areas, individual
parking areas shall not be directly accessible from major access driveways
or internal circulation drives.
All parking areas and appurtenant facilities serving other than
one-family residential or agricultural uses shall be adequately illuminated
during hours of operation which occur more than one hour after sunset.
At the time of site plan review, a lighting plan shall be submitted
which conforms to the following standards:
a.
All fixtures shall be nonglare, color corrected and focused downward.
b.
Light intensity shall average 0.5 footcandle over the entire area
and shall not be less than 0.3 footcandle anywhere in the area.
c.
The mounting height of fixtures shall not be more than 20 feet above
ground level.
d.
Spacing of fixtures shall not exceed five times mounting height.
e.
Sufficient additional detail shall be provided to permit determination
of the effect of such lighting on adjacent properties, traffic flow
and sky-glow.
f.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on nonresidential properties being
developed pursuant to a certain settlement agreement in the case of
"In the Matter of the Application of the Township of Millstone and
the Planning Board of the Township of Millstone, County of Monmouth,
Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Monmouth County Docket
No. MON-L-2501-15," the minimum illumination shall not be less than
0.2 footcandle anywhere in the vehicular circulation/parking and pedestrian
circulation areas and the mounting height of light fixtures shall
not be more than 25 feet above ground level. The requirement that
spacing of fixtures shall not exceed five times the mounting height
shall not apply.
[Added 3-18-2020 by Ord. No. 20-06]
The number of required parking spaces shall be as listed in
Schedule 2, Off-Street Parking Space Requirements. Where a particular
structure or property includes more than one use, the parking required
shall be the total of the requirements for each individual use. Where
an applicant demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the Planning Board,
that fewer spaces will be required, the lesser number may be permitted
provided that the applicant shows on his plan how the required spaces
as set forth below could be provided if necessary in the future without
violating any other provision of this chapter.
