Jersey Shore City Zoning Code
ARTICLE IV
Residential District
§ 300-16 Purpose.
The Residential District encompasses all of the exclusively residential neighborhoods of the Borough. A variety of residential types are included; in addition, limited commercial uses such as day-care centers, professional offices, funeral homes, and public facilities, including parks and churches, are provided for on a more limited basis. Such uses may be suitable, provided they do not detract from the residential character of a neighborhood. There are locations that provide the opportunity for infill development, provided that compatibility with existing building scale, design and use are maintained. The location of the fringe portion of the one-hundred-year floodplain in parts of this district requires a project design that is consistent with the municipal floodplain regulations (see Article XII).
