ARTICLE IX
Conditional Use 1
§ 101-109 Compliance with standards.
Uses listed as a conditional use in a particular zone may be permitted only after it has been determined that the development proposal complies with the conditions and standards set forth in this chapter for the location and operations of such particular use. In addition to the conditions and standards set forth elsewhere in this chapter, all conditional uses shall comply with the following conditions and standards:
A.
That all proposed structures, equipment or material shall be readily accessible for fire and police protection.
B.
That the proposed use shall be of such location, size and character that, in general, it will be in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the zone in which it is proposed to be situated, will be free of nuisance characteristics and will not be detrimental to the orderly development of adjacent properties in accordance with the zoning classification of such properties.
C.
That for any use located in or directly adjacent to a Residence District:
(1)
The location and size of such use, the nature and intensity of operations involved in or conducted in connection therewith, its site layout and its relation to access streets shall be such that both pedestrian and vehicular traffic to and from the use and the assembly of persons in connection therewith will not be hazardous or inconvenient to or incongruous with the residential zone or conflict with the normal traffic of the neighborhood; and
(2)
The location and height of buildings, the location, nature and height of walls and fences and the nature and extent of landscaping on the site shall be such that the use will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land and buildings nor materially affect the property value thereof.
D.
Each application for conditional use approval shall be accompanied by a proposed site plan, when required, showing the size and location of the lot, the location of all buildings and proposed facilities, including access drives, parking areas and all streets within 200 feet of the lot.
E.
Any lot for which conditional use approval may be granted shall be deemed to be a conforming use in the district in which such use is located, provided that such approval shall affect only the lot or portion thereof for which such use shall have been granted.
F.
Application for conditional use approval shall be accompanied by a fee of $50, and each applicant that submits an application for conditional use approval shall agree in writing to pay all reasonable costs for professional review of the conditional use by the Township. The applicant shall be billed and shall pay all reasonable costs over and above the application fee of $50 prior to the issuance of a building permit and prior to any construction on the site.
