Retail and/or wholesale business uses shall not permanently display goods for sale, including motor vehicles, outdoors except in accordance with a site plan approved by the Planning Board.

Such outdoor displays shall only be permitted where the goods displayed are the merchandise of a business included within a structure located on the site, unless in accordance with a permit or other approval issued therefor by the Municipality. Uses such as flea markets where two or more concessionaires, proprietors or businesses display goods for the same out of doors shall not be permitted in any zoning district within the municipality except in accordance with paragraph d below.

Temporary sales and outdoor display of goods may be permitted where the goods displayed are the merchandise of a business included within a structure located on the site. No business shall hold more than five such sales per year nor shall any one sale exceed one week in duration.

Temporary flea markets and sales operated by nonprofit groups such as churches may be permitted where the goods displayed are on a site which is already developed as a principal use of the nonprofit group.
