A.
No building shall hereafter be used, erected, altered, converted, enlarged, added to, moved or reduced, wholly or in part, nor shall any land be designed, used or physically altered for any purpose or in any manner except in conformity with this chapter. Where a lot is formed from part of a lot already occupied by a building, any subdivision shall be effected in such a manner as not to impair any of the requirements of this chapter with respect to the existing building and all yard and other open space in connection therewith and so that all resulting lots have adequate dimensions consistent with the requirements of the zoning district in which they are located and so that all lots have frontage on a street.
B.
Minor modifications or changes in approved plans and specifications may be effected only upon written approval of the Board Engineer, but some changes may require further review and approval of the Planning Board prior to making any changes.
C.
Any application for development shall demonstrate conformance with design standards that will encourage sound development patterns within the Township. Where either an Official Map or Master Plan has been adopted, the development shall conform to the proposals and conditions shown thereon. The streets, school sites, etc., shown on the officially adopted Master Plan shall be considered in the approval of plats. In accordance with good design practices, extreme deviations from rectangular lot shapes and straight lot lines shall not be allowed unless made necessary by special topographical conditions or other special conditions acceptable to the approving authority. All improvements shall be installed and connected with existing facilities or installed in required locations to enable future connections with approved systems or contemplated systems and shall be adequate to handle all present and probable future development.
D.
Land which the approving authority finds to be in areas identified in the Master Plan as having severe or moderate soil characteristics, particularly the land related to flooding, improper drainage, wetlands, adverse soil conditions, adverse topography, utility easements or other features which can reasonably be expected to be harmful to the health, safety and general welfare of the present or future inhabitants of the development and/or its surrounding areas, shall not be subdivided and site plans shall not be approved unless adequate and acceptable methods are formulated by the developer to solve the problems by methods meeting this chapter and all other regulations. Whenever a development abuts or crosses a municipal boundary, access to those lots within the Township shall be from within the Township as the general rule. Whenever access to a development is required across land in an adjoining community as the exception, the approving authority may require documentation that such access is legally established and that the access road is adequately improved.
E.
No subdivision or site plan approval may be given unless each lot contained in the subdivision or site plan complies with all the requirements of the zone in which the lot is located, unless a variance is subsequently granted.

B.
Maximum building height. No building shall exceed 75 feet and three stories, except as provided in § 110-42.
[Amended 6-7-2006]
C.
Area and yard requirements. The requirements of § 110-19D for industrial park uses shall apply; except, however, that minimum lot frontage shall be 100 feet; maximum coverage of principal buildings shall be 50% (calculated over the entire redevelopment area); and the maximum coverage of accessory buildings shall be 10% (calculated over the entire redevelopment area).
(1)
The redeveloper obtained a variance form the Oldmans Township Planning Board in 2001 for the front yard setback for the building closest to Straughens Mill Road. The required front yard building setback is 100 feet; the variance was for setback of 85 feet. A setback of 75 feet is proposed; this will be more than ample to meet buffering and screening requirements and will provide more flexibility in design throughout the park.
[Added 6-7-2006]
D.
General requirements.
(1)
Parking requirements. The requirement for off-street parking shall be one parking space per 5,000 square feet of building.
(2)
At the park entrance, there will be only one sign, ground mounted, with a maximum of 100 square feet, and which may be illuminated from interior or exterior. For each building, there will be no more than two ground-mounted signs, of a maximum of 50 square feet each, and which may be illuminated from interior or exterior. For each building, there will be no more than one building-mounted sign, of a maximum of 25 square feet, and with no illumination.
[Amended 6-7-2006]
(3)
Impervious coverage. The site impervious coverage shall not exceed 80%, as measured over the entire redevelopment area.
(4)
Shared parking, loading and access. Where possible, cross-easements shall be permitted to enable sharing of parking facilities, loading areas, and driveway access roads between lots. This could assist in reducing the site impervious coverage.
(5)
Nonapplicable sections. The following sections of the Oldmans Township Code, Chapter 110, Land Use, shall not apply in the redevelopment area: §§ 110-31C(1) (first sentence only); 110-38A(7); 110-58C and D; and 110-60 through 110-63 inclusive.
(6)

§ 110-21 Airport hazard areas.
A.
Applicability.
(1)
Each municipality which contains within its boundaries any part of a delineated airport hazard area, as defined by N.J.A.C. 16:62-3.1, shall enact an ordinance or ordinances incorporating the standards promulgated under this section. These standards shall also become a part of the master plan of development for each affected municipality which has a master plan.
(2)
Each municipality affected under this section shall transmit to the Division of Aeronautics, at time of adoption, amendment or when requested, a valid copy of the ordinances and a local development master plan shall be transmitted to the following address:
New Jersey Department of Transportation Division of Aeronautics Air Safety and Hazardous Zoning Permits 1035 Parkway Avenue CN 600 Trenton, New Jersey 08625 |
(3)
The Director of the Division of Aeronautics will review ordinances and master plans enacted by municipalities to implement the standards of this chapter.
(4)
No variance or other relief from the standards promulgated by or under this chapter may be granted by a municipality to itself or any person except upon the condition that the variance or relief is contingent upon the issuance of a permit allowing the variance or relief by the Commissioner.
(5)
Municipalities which contain within their boundaries airports regulated by the provisions of this chapter may not hereafter classify those airports as nonconforming land uses within the context of their ordinances or master plans of development. Those municipalities which may currently classify an airport as a nonconforming land use within the context of their ordinances or master plans of development shall amend those ordinances or plans to eliminate that nonconforming status.
B.
Delineation of airport hazard areas.
(1)
This section describes the methodology to be used in delineating airport hazard areas.
(2)
The methodology will be applicable for most airports in New Jersey. However, in certain instances, as a result of local conditions, it may be necessary to establish special standards for an airport. Subchapter 7 of N.J.A.C. 16:62-3.1 has been reserved for this purpose.
C.
Minimum land use standards.
(1)
Within the hazard areas delineated in N.J.A.C. 16:62-3.1, each municipality shall implement, under N.J.A.C. 16:62-2.1, ordinances which implement the following standards for land use around airports. These standards are hereby implemented by reference. Prohibited land uses are specifically prohibited without the written approval of the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation. Prohibited land uses may be allowed by the Commissioner on airport property when they are determined necessary by the Director for air commerce purposes or for the operation of the airport and its vendors directly serving air commerce needs. An example of this is a flight school.
(b)
Specifically prohibited land uses shall include:
[1]
Residential (dwelling units).
[2]
Planned unit developments and multifamily dwellings.
[3]
Hospitals.
[4]
Schools.
[5]
Aboveground bulk tank storage of compressed flammable or compressed toxic gases and liquids.
[6]
Within the runway end subzones only, the aboveground bulk tank storage of flammable or toxic gases and liquids.
[7]
Uses that may attract massing birds, including landfills.
[8]
Above-grade major utility transmission lines and/or mains.
(2)
Subject to review by the Director of the Division of Aeronautics, a municipality may implement land uses substantially similar to those listed as permitted land uses in Subsection C(1)(a)[1] through [6] above as long as they are in accord with the intent of this chapter as determined by the Commissioner. A municipality may not, however, implement a land use ordinance or plan which may have the effect of allowing or promoting the establishment of specifically prohibited land uses as determined by the Commissioner. A municipality further may not implement ordinances which would have the effect of preventing routine improvement of an aeronautical facility or airport within the area zoned under this chapter.
