Use of the structure will not require expansion and the addition of a local communications facility does not harm the character and the integrity of the existing structure; and

Use of the structure will require an expansion in height but not in excess of fifty percent (50%) of its current height, area or massing profile, and it is either in a certified plan approved by the Pinelands Commission or it is an existing communications structure; or

Use of the structure will require an expansion in excess of fifty percent (50%) where the site is identified in a comprehensive plan approved by the Pinelands Commission and the expansion or reconstruction will preserve the current use and the visual impact of installation of the expanded structure will be less than that of a new local communications facility.

No application for construction of a new local communications facility tower shall be approved unless the comprehensive plan governing such facilities, referenced in Section 35-9.22D2 herein, has been approved by the Pinelands Commission.

New local communications facility towers shall be less than two hundred (200) feet in height, as measured from grade. Freestanding towers built to a lesser height shall be designed so that their height may be increased provided that maximum height is less than two hundred (200) feet if necessary to accommodate the needs of other local communications facilities.

All new local communications facility towers shall be located within the area consistent with the service need for the facility, but in no case beyond a five-mile radius of the area specified in the comprehensive plan referenced in subsection a above. The applicant shall initially determine and demonstrate a technically feasible search area within the radius.

If the search area contains lands located both inside and outside the Pinelands Area or lands in more than one Pinelands management area, the applicant shall seek to site the facility in accordance with the following hierarchy, with the first designation being the location of greatest preference:

Within the Forest Area or the Rural Development Area of the Township, new local telecommunication facility towers shall be permitted only at the following locations:

To the extent feasible and consistent with other provisions contained in this chapter, all new local communications facility towers shall be sited in a manner which:

If multiple sites for new towers which meet all other qualifications are available, the site with the least visual impact shall be selected; if only a single qualifying site is available, the best location on the site that meets all other standards of this chapter shall be selected.

The design and construction of all new local communications facility towers shall adhere to the provisions of N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.103-6.105 regarding setbacks from scenic corridors and in environmentally sensitive areas. Applicants shall employ design strategies intended to mask, disguise, or hide local communications facility towers so that they blend into the natural background to the maximum extent possible.

Local telecommunications facilities shall be located so as to meet the technical operating requirements of the applicant and any potential co-locators who have expressed a desire to use the same facility.

Local telecommunications facilities shall be located, in order of preference, on:

All freestanding local telecommunication facility towers shall maintain a minimum distance of two hundred (200) feet from any adjoining lot line and shall comply with the siting design criteria of Subsection D3a above, where applicable. The Land Use Board may reduce this design criterion distance by as much as fifty percent (50%) of the required distance, if it finds that limited sites and land ownership and use necessitates require use of a lot that must have such reduction and safety and visual impacts may be alternately addressed.

Notwithstanding the provision of Section 35-6.1, Use Regulations, whenever proposed for a nonresidentially zoned property, a local communication facility may be so located as provided herein this section even if there is already a permitted primary use and/or accessory uses on said property, provided however, that said existing primary use or the existing accessory use(s) are not a free-standing local communications facility or tower. The permitting of a local communications facility in such cases is intended to reduce the effect of such facilities on the landscape by utilizing already developed lands.

The tower can and will be expanded if necessary to the maximum height permitted within the zoning district to accommodate any other local communications provider who expresses a need to collocate; or

If the tower cannot be expanded, it will be replaced, without service interruption to current users, by a tower which can accommodate the collocation needs of other communications providers.

Outside the Pinelands area, new freestanding support towers shall be either of lattice type construction or monopoles whichever is least visually obtrusive and meets the technological requirements of the appliance and complies with the provisions of Subsections E3a and E3b herein.

Clearing of existing vegetation shall be limited to the minimum necessary to allow for access to and operation of the facility;

The lower portions of local communications facilities which will be located adjacent to residential zones, recreational areas, or public roads shall be screened at ground level from public view to the maximum extent practical in the following manner:

The Land Use Board in considering landscaping plan for local communications facilities may refer to Article 35-11 of this chapter and require conformance with its design and performance standards as relate to landscaping and buffering and/or screening.

A scaled site plan clearly indicating the location (including street address and block/lot), type, method of construction and height of any proposed tower and any accessory structure(s); on-site land uses and zoning; contour lines at no greater than five (5) foot intervals AMSL; existing structures; land uses and zoning within two hundred (200) feet (including adjacent municipalities); any roads within two hundred (200) feet; proposed means of access; limits of clearing; and setbacks from property lines;

Photographs of the proposed site of the facility showing current conditions;

The setback distance from the nearest structure;

A map showing the location of all other local communications facility towers and other structures within the Township as well as outside the Township within a five-mile radius. The applicant shall also identify the height and type of construction of all such structures;

A landscape plan showing proposed landscaping;

The location and type of proposed fencing, if applicable, and the type, location, color and power of any illumination;

An assessment of the suitability of the use of existing towers or other structures within the search area to accommodate the local communications facility in lieu of a tower, if a new tower is proposed;

An assessment of the suitability of the site to accommodate additional equipment sheds and similar needs of other wireless providers who may wish to collocate on the proposed facility;

For facilities proposed in the Pinelands Area, a notarized statement indicating the applicant will abide by the provisions of "Exhibit B Collocation Opportunities for Wireless Providers in the Pinelands" contained in the Comprehensive Plan for Wireless Communications Facilities in the Pinelands approved by the Pinelands Commission on September 11, 1998;

Written confirmation from any other wireless providers who have expressed a desire to collocate on the proposed facility (either by inclusion of the site in a comprehensive plan approved by the Pinelands Commission or at any public meeting on the application) that the selected site meets their operational needs and space requirements for equipment sheds and the like; and

A Certificate of Filing issued by the Pinelands Commission pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:50-4.34.

Computer simulation models, photographic juxtaposition and similar techniques are not mandated, but, if submitted in support of the application, may be used by the Land Use Board in determining conformance with the visual impact standards of Section 35-9.22D3a of this chapter. Such materials may also aid in assessing the consistency of the application with N.J.A.C. 7:50-5.4.

In the event that collocation is found not to be feasible, a written statement of explanation shall be submitted to the Land Use Board. The Land Use Board may retain a technical expert in the field of radiofrequency engineering to verify if collocation at the site is not feasible or is feasible given the design configuration most accommodating to the collocation, or that a new tower has less visual impact at an alternative site. The cost of such a technical expert will be at the expense of the applicant.

A plot plan, survey and all other plans and documents required for site plan approval by Section 35-13.11D of this chapter.

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) applies to all applications for personal wireless service facilities. NEPA is administered by the FCC via procedures adopted as Subpart 1 Section 1.1301 et seq. (47 CFR Ch. I). The FCC requires that an environmental assessment be filed with the FCC prior to beginning operations for certain facilities. The environmental assessment must be submitted as part of any Township application for such a facility. If said environmental assessment is not required or waived by the FCC, then a copy of such waiver or letter of declination shall be provided in lieu thereof the assessment.

Federal regulations also require avoidance of siting of new towers in proximity to designated Wild and Scenic Rivers. If an applicant proposes to locate a new tower in proximity to a designated river, proof of federal review and approval of such siting or waiver thereof must be submitted as part of any Township application for such a facility. For purposes of this subsection the term "proximity to a designated river" shall mean a proposed tower location within one-half (1/2) mile from the bank of said designated river.

In the PR and PRDA-R Districts: one unit per 5 acres.

In the PC District: one unit per 25 acres.

In the PRDA-C District: one unit per 15 acres.

The number of residential lots permitted within the cluster shall be calculated on the basis of the size of the parcel of land and the density permitted in Subsection A1 above.

A density bonus is permitted on lots greater than fifty (50) acres in accordance with the table below. The bonus density shall be calculated based upon the gross acreage of the parcel of land and the density permitted in Subsection A1 above. Bonus density on parcels with resource extraction ponds on all other parcels shall be applied in accordance with the following table:

When calculating the permitted bonus units all fractions of a unit shall be rounded to the lower number. In no case shall the bonus units be rounded up. To determine the total units permitted the base density and bonus density shall be combined prior to rounding.

Residential cluster development on lots with resource extraction ponds may utilize the water area in calculating the bonus density if the development is designed as a lake front community where the water area is incorporated as an active or passive recreational element of the development plan.

Is located proximate to existing roads;

Is located proximate to existing developed sites on adjacent or nearby parcels;

Is or will be appropriately buffered from adjoining or nearby nonresidential land uses; and

Conforms with the minimum environmental standards of N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.

In the PRDA-R zoning district all new residential developments shall be located on existing street frontages.

Residential lots shall be one acre in size but may be larger if dictated by unusual site conditions. In no case shall the average size of residential lots within a cluster exceed 1.1 acres;

The following yard and building requirements shall apply:

Individual on-site septic wastewater treatment systems which are not intended to reduce the level of nitrate/nitrogen in the waste that comply with the standards of Section 35-11.4AC2d may serve the lots within the cluster development area. However, in the event that existing agricultural uses will continue on the parcel in accordance with Subsection A5b(2) below, individual on-site septic wastewater treatment systems shall comply with the standards of Section 35-11.4AC2e or g. Community on-site wastewater treatment systems serving two or more residential dwelling units which meet the standards of Section 35-11.4AC2e or g shall also be permitted;

The residential cluster development area shall include such land and facilities as are necessary to support the development, including wastewater facilities, stormwater management facilities and recreation amenities; and

Permitted recreation amenities may include playgrounds, tot lots, swimming pools, tennis courts and other such recreational facilities, which are solely for use by the residents of the cluster development. Recreational amenities shall not be limited to the foregoing so that the applicant may propose additional facilities. All such facilities shall be accessory to the residential cluster development. No advertising or commercial enterprise shall be permitted. In no case may such amenities occupy more than one-half (1/2) acre of land or the equivalent of one (1) acre of land for every twenty-five (25) residential lots, whichever is greater.

All such land shall be permanently protected through recordation of a deed of conservation restriction. Such restriction shall be in favor of Maurice River Township or another public agency or nonprofit organization. In all cases, such restriction shall be expressly enforceable by the Pinelands Commission; and

The deed of restriction shall permit the parcel to be managed for:
