Hillside City Zoning Code

§ 188-36

Service stations.

A. 
No service station shall have an entrance or exit for vehicles within 200 feet along the same side of a street of any school, public playground, church, hospital, public building or institution, except where such property is in another block or on another street which the lot in question does not abut.
B. 
No service station shall be permitted where any oil draining pit or visible appliance for any purpose (other than gasoline filling pumps or air pumps) is located within 20 feet of any street line or 50 feet of any residential district. All appliances or pits, other than gasoline filling pumps or air pumps, shall be within a building. Gasoline pumps shall be permitted within the required front yard space of service stations but shall be no closer than 15 feet to the street line.
C. 
Automobile, gas or service stations, car washing establishments and pubic garages, including the repair of motor vehicles, shall be a permitted use, provided that no use shall be located nearer than 25 feet to any residential zone, and provided further that no automobile, gas or service stations, car washing establishments and public garages shall be located within a radius of 1,000 feet of any existing automobile, gas or service stations, car washing establishments and public garages.
D. 
In cases where a service station is located, no junk yards or premises used for storage of junked motor vehicles or vehicles incapable of normal operation shall be permitted within the Township. It shall be deemed prima facie evidence of violation of this article if more than three motor vehicles incapable of operation are located at any one time upon any premises not within a closed and roofed building excepting, however, that a number not exceeding six motor vehicles may be located upon any service station premises outside of a closed or roofed building for a period of time not to exceed 48 hours and provided that the motor vehicles are awaiting repair by the owners thereof.
