Conservation Management Districts.

Rural Residential District (RR). The intent of this district is to maintain the densities and residential character of the surrounding area. This section of the Borough represents some of the most suitable land for development. Single-family detached, single-family detached cluster and lot averaging subdivisions are permitted.

Village Residential 1 District (VR-1). This residential district encompasses the existing village section of Glen Gardner which is characterized by existing dwellings on small lots. It is predominantly an historic and man-made environment. The intention is to create a village with a mix of single-family and two-family residences on small lots at an average density of approximately four dwelling units per acre, along with municipal uses which reinforce the historic residential character of the area. Any new development without public water and sewer would be required to have a minimum lot size of one acre. This area is designated as a potential historic district and contains design standards oriented toward the preservation of historic structures.

Village Residential 2 District (VR-2). Also designated as a potential historic district, the Village Residential 2 District consists of larger lots than the Village Residential 1 District. Single-family detached dwellings are permitted on one-acre lots, provided that acceptable septic systems are achievable with on-site wells.

Multifamily Residential District (MR). The intent of this district is to provide for higher-density residential uses (five dwelling units per acre) within the Borough. This area represents some of the most suitable land for development within Glen Gardner. This district is subject to public water and sewer and minimum open space requirements, as well as environmental performance standards.

Professional Office District (PRO). The primary intent of this district is to provide sites for professional office uses which are low-intensity in traffic and small employment generators while keeping orientation of such uses away from Route 31 and onto side streets. The district is intended to remain residential in character with design standards for the nonresidential uses in suitable residential context.

Commercial Office District (CO). This district consists of highway-oriented existing businesses or sites along Route 31 that are underutilized for commercial or office uses as well as historically commercial and mixed use (residential and office and/or commercial) properties located in the center of town. The intent is to provide maximum opportunities for coordinated development between adjacent properties where feasible while maintaining compatibility with adjacent residential uses. Shared and structured parking is encouraged where feasible. Development should not exceed the capacity of the soils to treat septic effluent.

Mixed Use District (MU). The Mixed Use District is located in the northern portion of the Borough in the vicinity of Route 31 and the proposed Master Plan bypass road. The intent of this district is to provide for integrated, planned developments which would resemble a mixture of office, retail and residential uses. These uses would be vertically as well as horizontally integrated to create a village-like character to complement historic Main Street. The intent is to take maximum advantage of the best orientation to Route 31 and the proposed Master Plan bypass road.

Industrial/Office Research District (I/OR). The intent of the Industrial/Office Research District is to provide sites for office research, light industrial, warehousing and distribution activities. The designated areas provide ready access to regional markets, which is an important locational factor. Limited exposure to future residential areas is another factor in the designation of these areas.

Park District (P). The Park District establishes existing areas of park, recreational and picnic facilities within the Borough.
