A.
It shall be the duty of the Zoning Officer of the
Borough of Paramus to enforce the provisions of this chapter and to
investigate any violation or alleged violations hereof, except that
the Borough Engineer may make inspections of utilities, drainage and
paving; the Police Department may make inspections of parking areas
and traffic access points; the Fire Subcode Official may make inspections
of fire lanes; and the Board of Shade Tree and Parks Commissioners
may make inspections of landscaping. The site development features
initially installed are required to be maintained during the life
of the building, and substantial changes, as determined by the Zoning
Officer and other inspecting agencies, are not to be made without
permission of the Planning Board.
[Amended 11-24-1992 by Ord. No. 92-23]
B.
These rules, regulations and standards shall be considered
the minimum requirements for the protection of the public health,
safety and welfare of the citizens of the Borough of Paramus. Any
action taken by the approving agency under the terms of this chapter
shall give primary consideration to the above-mentioned matters and
to the welfare of the entire community. However, if the applicant
can clearly demonstrate that because of peculiar conditions pertaining
to the property involved the literal enforcement of one or more of
these regulations or ordinance provisions is impractical or will exact
undue hardship, the approving agency may permit such variations or
departures as may be reasonable and within the general purposes hereof.
C.
The Planning Board shall adopt and may amend reasonable
rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the Municipal Land Use
Law,[1] for the administration of its functions, powers and duties
hereunder, including hearings, and providing for the form, number
and distribution of copies of applications. Said rules and regulations
and application forms shall be kept and filed with the administrative
officer.

Editor's Note: See N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq.
[Amended 11-24-1992 by Ord. No. 92-23; 3-14-2006 by Ord. No. 06-2]
A.
In case of any development or in case any building or structure is erected, constructed, altered, repaired, converted or maintained or any building or structure or land is used so as to constitute a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter or to be in violation of § 371-51B and C or any regulation made under the authority conferred hereby, the proper local authorities of the Borough, including the Zoning Officer or any interested party, in addition to any other remedy or remedies may institute proceedings to prevent such unlawful erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, 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.
This chapter shall be construed liberally to effect the purposes thereof and shall be read in pari materia with Chapter 77, Land Use Procedures, Chapter 429, Zoning, and Chapter 387, Subdivision of Land, of the Code of the Borough of Paramus. Where there may be overlapping provisions, the more stringent shall apply.
