In interpreting and applying this Part 4, the provisions hereof shall be held to be minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the Township. Among other purposes, the provisions of this Part 4 are intended to provide for adequate light, air, open space 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 and other open spaces; to regulate the density of population and to conserve the value of property and encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout the Township.

For the purpose of this Part 4, the Township of Denville is hereby divided into 36 zones known as:

The Zoning Map dated December 17, 2015, delineating the above zone districts and the Schedule of Requirements which accompany this Part 4 are hereby declared to be part hereof.[1]

The following table reflects the zone changes designated by block and lot.

Where a zone boundary line does not coincide with a lot line or the center line of a street as it exists on December 12, 1978, such zone boundary line shall be deemed to be that distance back from the nearest parallel street right-of-way line or property line as indicated by dimensions set forth on the Zoning Map.
