Haddonfield City Zoning Code
ARTICLE V
Nonresidential Districts
§ 135-38 Downtown zoning districts.
[Amended 1-25-1994 by Ord. No. 1689; 1-13-2004 by Ord. No. 2-2004; 6-10-2008 by Ord. No. 2008-13]
A.
Background and intent.
(1)
The intent of this section of the Land Development Ordinance is to implement the Downtown Element of the Haddonfield Master Plan.
(2)
The downtown area, as described in the Downtown Element, comprises a large area that includes most of Haddon Avenue, the PATCO parking lots, Tanner Street, Ellis and Centre Streets, as well as the real center of town, Kings Highway.
(3)
The downtown districts are intended to create mixed-use, walkable places that are an extension of the traditional pattern of downtown Haddonfield. This character is part of what makes downtown Haddonfield unique, and is vital to its future.
(4)
These downtown districts follow on the recognition, described in the Downtown Element, that downtown Haddonfield comprises several separate and quite distinct "character areas": Kings Highway, Tanner Street, Allen Avenue/Wilkins Avenue, North Haddon Avenue (east and west sides), south of Kings, Ellis Triangle and South Haddon Avenue. Each of these areas has its own land use and urban design profile, which is described by a set of goals that establish the intent for that area. These goals are incorporated into the downtown districts.
(5)
Where a conflict exists, the provisions of this section shall supersede those of the current Land Development Ordinance.
B.
Organization of this section.
(1)
The Downtown District section of the Land Development Ordinance regulates development in two ways, by zoning district and by building type.
(2)
Zoning districts set out general urban design requirements that pertain to the character of an area. These include uses, setbacks, building heights, design character/appearance, and the location of parking. Downtown districts (§ 135-38D) are:
(3)
In each downtown district, certain building types are allowed and certain types are prohibited, based on the character of that district. The requirements for building types (§ 135-38E) set out more specific requirements that are related to the kind of building that is being built. Together, the requirements for districts and building types will produce the complex, varied mix of buildings and streetscapes that characterize downtown Haddonfield.
(4)
One of the distinguishing features of the downtown zoning districts are the sizes, types and placement of buildings. This section describes characteristic building uses, setbacks, heights, and lot coverages for each of the four downtown districts in Figure D, General Zoning District Requirements.[1] In cases of apparent ambiguity or conflict between the general zoning district requirements and the building bulk requirements, the more detailed provisions found in Subsection (f), Building bulk requirements, in § 135-38E(6) through (20) and summarized in Figure E, Bulk Requirements,[2] shall take precedence.

C.
General standards for downtown districts. The following general standards must be followed for any new construction or building addition in each downtown district.
(1)
Historic District. The provisions of the Article VI, §§ 135-42 through 135-62, shall apply to all lots within the Downtown Zoning District that are also within the Historic District described in those sections. All development and permit applications, and all work that will impact the exterior features of any property within the Historic District, shall be referred to the Historic Preservation Commission and Planning Board as currently required. All such applications and exterior work shall require a certificate of appropriateness, as currently required, in addition to meeting the requirements of the Downtown Zoning District.
(2)
Bulk.
(a)
New structures shall be designed in sections between 25 feet and 35 feet in width along the street frontage. Sections can be expressed through architecturally articulated bays, variations in setback, window patterns, changes in material, and other similarly effective techniques. Minor variations may be considered to adjust for lot frontage and lot geometry.
(b)
Cornice lines, eave lines, and rooflines shall vary between building sections in height or setback from the street.
(c)
The maximum length of a horizontal facade or side wall shall be 100 feet. Setbacks, open space passages between buildings, recessed courtyards or similarly significant architectural breaks shall be used to reduce the length of continuous horizontal facades or side walls.
(d)
The maximum length of any roofline shall be 60 feet. In cases where individual buildings are longer than 60 feet, the third-floor roofline shall be set back a minimum of 15 feet for 25 feet to 35 feet of the facade length beyond the sixty-foot roofline.
(e)
Three-story structures shall differentiate between the ground level and upper levels using setbacks, changes in materials, bands or other linear ornamentation.

(3)
Height of buildings.
(a)
Building heights shall be measured in both feet and stories.
(b)
When measuring by stories, height of buildings shall be counted in half-stories, to account for buildings with visible basements or space under pitched roofs. The ground story of a building is the first floor of a building that is level to or elevated above grade. The upper stories of a building begin at the first floor above the ground story. Building types constructed with pitched roofs with dormers may have an additional story, if located within the roof structure.
(c)
When measuring by feet, height of buildings shall be measured to both the eave line and roofline, for buildings with pitched roofs, and to the roofline for all other buildings.
(d)
For sloped sites, the grade level shall be measured from the lowest point on any side of the property line that includes and entrance to a dwelling unit, retail space, or office space.
(e)
Ornamental tower elements associated with religious institutions are exempt from maximum height requirements.
(4)
Doors and windows.
(a)
All buildings shall include front doors and windows facing the street. No blank walls are permitted facing the street at the ground floor.
(b)
The minimum area of window and door openings on any wall shall be 30% of the area of the wall. For commercial uses or walls facing streets, the glazed area must be greater than 70% with a maximum sill height of two feet six inches above sidewalk grade.
(c)
Side walls that face public ways, and are set back a minimum of five feet from a lot line, must have windows and may have doors.
(d)
Every street-facing ground-level business and residence must have a separate entry. Live-work buildings must have one entrance to the street that serves both living and working components of the structure. Corner buildings and end units are encouraged to place primary entrances on secondary streets or at the corner.
(5)
Driveways.
(a)
Parking shall be accessed by rear alleys or rear lanes where available. Parking pads and garages that must be accessed from the front of a lot shall be located at the rear of the lot.
(b)
Driveway width at the access point shall be no wider than 10 feet between the front lot line and the front facade of the building.
(c)
Shared driveways between two properties are permitted and strongly encouraged, to minimize curb cuts and impervious surfaces. This shall be accomplished by initiating an irrevocable offer of cross-easement between the abutting properties. The owners of the involved properties shall submit, with their application for special exception, a site plan showing joint use and location of the shared driveway.
(6)
Porches, stoops, and other protrusions. Porches, stoops, and other protrusions shall be permitted to encroach in to a front, side, or rear setback if they meet the provisions in § 135-21, Yard exceptions.
(7)
Frontage. In Downtown Zones D1, D2, and D3, at least 50% of the building's front facade at ground level must be located along the front setback line. Buildings in D4 must have a frontage percentage of at least 75%.
(8)
Entrances.
(a)
The main entrance of every building must directly face a street or a civic space, except for courtyard buildings, where main entrances can face the courtyard, and side yard buildings, where they can face the side yard. The residential or office component of a flex building with ground-floor retail frontage may be located to the rear or side of the building if all setback requirements are followed.
(b)
Every street-facing ground-level business and residence should have a separate entry. See § 135-38C(4), Doors and windows.
(9)
Ground floor elevation. For buildings with retail uses, the ground floor should be at sidewalk level. If the ground floor use is not retail, the floor level may be elevated if access is not restricted according to ADA requirements.
(10)
Story heights.
(a)
The ground floor floor-to-floor height of any building with commercial or mixed uses shall be no more than 18 feet tall. Buildings that are primarily residential or live-work shall have a ground floor floor-to-floor height of no more than 14 feet tall.
(b)
Each story above the ground story must have a floor-to-floor height of eight feet to 12 feet. Top stories must have a floor-to-floor height of eight feet to 12 feet tall as measured from the finished floor level to the bottom of the structure above.
(11)
Single-story buildings. Ground-story residential use in one-story buildings is limited to the single-family detached house and cottage house types, as well as accessory building or structures where residential use is permitted.
(13)
Parking.
(a)
Residential units in mixed-use developments shall each require 1.5 parking spaces.
(b)
Nonresidential uses shall require three parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of leasable space.
(c)
The parking spaces required may be reduced when two or more establishments share the same parking area, whether on the same lot or abutting lots. Shared parking or off-site parking strategies are described in § 135-86 of the Land Development Ordinance.
(d)
In Downtown Zones D2, D3, and D4, parking spaces and garages shall be located at the rear of buildings only. Garages shall be located at the rear of Buildings in D1, but uncovered surface parking is permitted to occupy the side yard in this district only.
(e)
Parking spaces should incorporate screening features such as landscaping and fencing.
D.
General zoning district requirements.[3] Specific requirements vary according to building type; see Subsection (f) of § 135-38E(6) through (20). In cases of apparent ambiguity or conflict between other provisions of this section, the building bulk requirements of Subsection (f) in § 135-38E(6) through (20) shall take precedence.

Special provisions for civic buildings.
[1]
Intent. The civic buildings of a town identify its symbolic and ceremonial heart. Allowing civic buildings in downtown Haddonfield is also necessary to create gathering spaces and focal points of the community.
[2]
Bulk standards. In order to provide greater flexibility and to allow more iconic architecture, civic buildings have more relaxed bulk standards than other building types. These bulk standards are as follows:
[a]
Footprint. There shall be no minimum footprint. With the downtown district's overall building width restrictions, maximum footprint of civic buildings is limited to 10,000 square feet.
[b]
Height. Overall height of the main structure is limited to 36 feet. Approved ornamentation may rise higher if intended for house of worship or municipal uses.
[c]
Setbacks. Civic building setbacks are at a minimum of 25 feet for front facades and 15 feet for sides. The resulting open space should remain public where possible.
[3]
Design features. Iconic buildings with high-quality materials and prominent settings project a sense of permanence and human scale that expresses the dignity and importance of institutions.
[a]
Exterior details. Exterior details are to be of appropriate scale and material to match or complement the character of downtown Haddonfield.
[b]
Location of entrances. Main entrances are preferred along axial terminations of streets and walkways, or directly connected to any adjoining civic spaces.
[4]
Retail functions. Retail is permitted only as an accessory use to civic uses.

Sideyard building: SB.
(a)
Typical condition/siting example, for illustrative purposes only:
 |
(b)
Description: a detached building that abuts one side lot line, with the primary yard to the other side. The sideyard building (often called a Charleston House, after the city in which it is most common) is a building type appropriate for lots in those blocks for which street frontage is valuable but interior block space is ample. Lots in such blocks tend to be narrow and deep. The sideyard building type is correspondingly narrow and deep, and is often developed in series, so that rooms face south onto porches, and porches on to side yards whose privacy is maintained by a blank north wall on the adjacent house.
(c)
Local examples. Sideyard buildings have been used elsewhere in the region to develop narrower lots with greater yard privacy. They may not be found in Haddonfield today as built for this purpose, but they are similar to older homes that are not directly oriented to their primary street or where a corner building is oriented differently than the rest of the block.

Typical condition/siting example, for illustrative purposes only:
 |
(b)
Description:
[1]
A variant of the flex building for corner lots on major streets. Front and side setbacks are set to zero to allow for "holding the corner." This building is encouraged to have its main entrance at the corner, if it has only one, or it should have one on each street-fronting side if there are two.
[2]
The allowable height for this building type will be 40 feet at strategically chosen lots. These are the corners of King's Highway and Chestnut, Tanner, and Haddon.
[3]
Special corner buildings along King's Highway must have retail uses on the ground floor.
(c)
Local examples. Many of Haddonfield's corners have conditions similar to these. New construction of this type may be even more iconic, making selected corners very unique places to emphasize the character of the Downtown District.

Typical condition/siting example, for illustrative purposes only:
 |
(b)
Description: a building or structure that requires a footing and that is customarily associated with and is subordinate and incidental to a principal building or structure, and that is located on the same tax lot in the rear yard. This includes but is not limited to accessory dwelling units, garages, carports, doghouses, sheds, freestanding air-conditioning units, nonportable swimming pools, tennis courts and other similar structures. Any accessory building or structure attached to the principal building or structure shall be considered a part of that principal building or structure.

Special provisions for accessory structures.
[1]
Permitted locations. Building types that can be occupied by one or more dwelling units are permitted one accessory structure on the lot in addition to the main building. This shall include live-work, townhouse, cottage house, sideyard, and single-family detached building types. Twins may share an accessory structure party wall.
[2]
Bulk standards. Additional bulk standards are as follows:
[a]
Footprint. The building coverage for a detached accessory structure may not be larger than the building coverage of the principal structure. The combined building coverage for all detached accessory structures may not exceed the percentage of total site area determined by the lot's downtown zone.
[b]
Height. The maximum height for a detached accessory structure is 18 feet or the cornice line of the main building, whichever is lower.
[3]
Site design standards.
[a]
Exterior details. Exterior finish materials, roof pitch, trim, eaves, window orientation and dimension shall be the same or visually match the principal structure.
[b]
Location of entrances. One main entrance may be placed on the alley or access road that the accessory structure is located on. If the size, orientation, or design of the structure does not allow this, the entrance to the dwelling unit may be located on an alternate facade. This would apply to units that do not have occupied space on the ground, and are accessed by an entrance from a balcony or deck.
[4]
Parking. Any accessory building or structure attached to the principal building or structure shall be considered part of that principal building or structure for the calculation of all parking requirements.
[5]
Special regulatory standards. Where an accessory structure is created and the principal use is residential, the construction shall comply fully with the requirements of the New Jersey Residential Site Improvement Standards (RSIS, N.J.A.C. 5:21-3 et seq.). All standards of that code will apply to the creation of an accessory structure in a new building or an addition.
