Reduce the adverse effect which uniformity in the exterior design and appearance of dwellings in the same neighborhood would have on the desirability of the immediate and neighboring areas for existing and future residential and business purposes.

Enhance the value of both improved and unimproved real property in such areas and lessen the deterioration of conditions affecting the health, safety and morals of the inhabitants thereof and the community at large.

Prevent the loss of tax revenue and the destruction of a proper balance between the taxable value of real property in such areas and the cost of municipal services provided therefor.

Except as provided in this chapter not more than one building permit shall hereafter be issued for any dwelling to be erected in a housing development consisting of two or more houses if it is substantially alike in exterior design and appearance with any neighborhood dwelling situated on the same side of the street within 200 feet of a dwelling then in existence or for which a building permit has been issued or is pending. The distance herein specified shall be construed to mean the distance between the street property lines of the respective properties.

Houses within a specified distance from each other shall be considered uniform in exterior design and appearance if:

In addition to the requirements specified in paragraph b there shall be not less than two separate basic house designs in every housing development consisting of six or less houses; not less than three basic house designs in every housing development consisting of seven to 15 houses; not less than five basic house designs in every housing development consisting of 16 to 40 houses; and not less than six basic designs in every development consisting of 40 or more houses.

To insure conformity with the provisions of this chapter, no building permit shall hereafter be issued for more than one dwelling in any housing development, until the builder shall post or cause to be posted, on each specific lot on the subdivision's map filed with the Construction Official, the type and model of each house for which a building permit has been or is being issued.

To further insure conformity with the provisions of this chapter in respect to new subdivisions for the purpose of a housing development, the Planning Board shall require an affidavit approved as to form by the Borough Attorney, that the subdivision will be developed as a whole so that the intent and purpose of the chapter is satisfied. The Construction Official is also hereby authorized to require a similar affidavit before issuing more than one building permit in any housing development or part thereof, in any subdivision heretofore approved by the Planning Board, prior to November 20, 1979, or on any land area not required to be subdivided.
