The use of all land and every building or portion of a building, and uses accessory to such land or buildings.

The exterior area dimensions and bulk of every building constructed, or exterior alterations increasing such dimensions or bulk.

The conduct or performance of any use when such conduct or performance affects the municipality or the rights of adjacent property owners.

As part of the construction or alteration of a street, or utility improvement, or a building, or the grading incidental to a building, excess subsoil may be removed from the site, but topsoil shall remain on the site being developed and be distributed as appropriate for soil stabilization and lawn growing purposes.

In connection with normal lawn preparation and maintenance, all soil shall remain on-site, but may be redistributed.

In farming operations soil may be relocated on site using sound soil conservation practices approved by the Soil Conservation Service.

Where the development application provides cut and fill calculations and a reasonable effort to balance the site in order to retain the soil on site, the approving authority, upon the advice of the Borough Engineer, may approve a limited portion of the soil being removed from the site as set forth on the approved plans.

The location of any structure or other installation for municipal use or for the purpose of servicing any public utility, except common or contract carriers, may be within any zoning district, subject to the following regulations:

The said plan shall be reviewed and considered for approval by the Planning Board in accordance with the applicable provisions of this chapter.

Projections into required yard areas. All open areas and yards shall be maintained with no portion of such area utilized for building or paved purposes other than permitted accessory uses and required facilities as set forth in this chapter such as driveways and off-street parking, and except that no minor projection from an existing building, where the projection uses the building for support, shall extend into any yard more than five feet but in any event not closer than three feet to a property line. Such minor projections are considered ornamental elements such as cornices, eaves, gutters and roof overhangs, chimneys (including wooden-framed chimney chases), bow windows, and porch steps, but exclude walls extending above cantilevered construction.

Increased or decreased setbacks of principal residential buildings. Where a principal building or structure is being constructed in a residential neighborhood with established setbacks different from those required in this chapter for the district in which the property is located, the new building or structure may be located closer to the street right-of-way by decreasing the minimum front yard setback by no more than 10% or five feet, whichever is less, but be no closer to the street right-of-way than 20 feet in any event. In instances where the prevailing setback is greater than the minimum requirement, the new building or structure may be required to be set back farther than the minimum front yard setback by no more than 10% or five feet, whichever is less. The prevailing setback shall be the average setback of either three principal buildings on each side of the lot in question or the number of principal buildings within 200 feet on each side of the lot in question, whichever measurement incorporates the most number of principal buildings, except that in no event shall the measurements be required to cross a street.

No nonconforming use shall be enlarged or increased in a manner which will expand the actual, or the functional, capacity of the use or operation or which will further violate any area and bulk regulation imposed by the zoning district in which it is located.

Exception. An existing single-family dwelling on a lot with preexisting nonconforming lot area, lot width or lot depth may be expanded, provided that the proposed building expansion does not increase the preexisting nonconforming setbacks and provided that the proposed building expansion conforms to the required building setbacks, building and site coverage requirements and height requirements of the district.

A conforming use located on a lot where a structure, building or other improvement may have a setback violation may have an addition to the building, structure or improvement, provided that the parking and loading requirements are met and the addition does not exacerbate the existing nonconformity and/or does not generate a new nonconformity.

Such reconstruction or replacement shall commence within one year of the date of damage or destruction.

The reconstruction or replacement building shall be no larger than the building which was damaged or destroyed.

In the case of replacement of a totally destroyed building, the new building shall be designed and situated on the site in such a manner as to comply with currently applicable minimum yard and setback requirements if possible. If, in constructing a building of the allowable replacement size as permitted in this section, such compliance is not possible, the new building shall be designed and located in a manner which minimizes any noncompliance to the fullest extent possible.

A survey or plot plan showing all information necessary to accurately depict existing conditions, the proposed location of the transient merchant area of operation, and how the proposed use will function on the site. Information shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

Plan for managing trash and litter generated during operations and removal of same at the close of business daily.

Signage plan.

Lighting details, including existing and proposed.

Details of ancillary activities, including but not limited to seating and tables, where space permits outside of the public right-of-way.

Any other information deemed necessary for approval.

Mobile food vendors shall include the following additional information:

The Zoning Officer may consider special exceptions and grant relief of the ordinance requirement for transient merchants and mobile vendors that operate exclusively within public rights-of-way, move about from location to location frequently, that do not park in particular locations, and stop and conduct business for no more than five minutes. These vehicles must be properly licensed and inspected and require licenses and permits obtained from Glassboro.

The Zoning Officer may consider special exceptions and grant relief of the ordinance requirement for the operation of transient vendors, food trucks, and other mobile vending at a public or semi-public event (i.e., festivals, etc.) that is held by a formal organization and officially permitted and sanctioned by the Borough of Glassboro.

Station, place, set up or maintain wares adjacent to any sidewalk if to do so would place a vendor closer than 200 feet to another vendor who is selling adjacent to the sidewalk, or in the public right-of-way.

Station, place, set up or maintain their wares or equipment in such a way as would restrict, obstruct, interfere with or impede the pedestrian's right-of-way; restrict, obstruct, or interfere with the use of enjoyment from the abutting property; create or become a nuisance; increase traffic congestion, or cause or increase traffic delays or hazards; cause or create or constitute a danger to life, health, or property; sell food, drinks, ice cream or confections of any kind for immediate consumption unless they have available for public use their own litter receptacle, which must be attached to their cart or vehicle, which shall be clearly marked and maintained for their patronage use; nor shall any peddler leave any location without first picking up, removing and disposing of any trash or refuse remaining from sales made by him.

Station, place, set up or maintain their wares closer than 50 feet from the curbline or end of pavement of intersecting streets.

Place their wares in such way as would reduce the unobstructed pedestrian right-of-way on a sidewalk to less than six feet.

Engage in business within 25 feet of any location where the curb has been depressed to facilitate pedestrian or vehicle movement.

The requirements for a transient merchant and/or mobile vendor operation area are as follows:

All transient vendors and mobile food vendors shall be properly maintained.

Mobile food vehicles must be operated and properly maintained in accordance with all applicable motor vehicle and transportation codes.

To the greatest extent feasible, transient and mobile food vendors shall utilize existing surrounding light to avoid creating additional lighting and glare conditions onto adjacent properties.
