A private garage accessory to a principal building is permitted in any zone district.

In the R-1 and R-2 Zone Districts, garage doors shall be oriented so as not to be visible from a street frontage, river frontage, or public right-of-way. Generally, garages must face a side line or rear line except where permanently screened by portions of the principal structure.

Within a residential zone district, an entry driveway or a walkway may cross any yard area except that within the R-1, R-2, and R-3 Zone Districts, no driveway shall be within five (5') feet of a side yard line or within fifteen (15') feet of a rear yard line. Within a nonresidential zone district, entry driveways and walkways may cross any yard area; however, other than crossing yards, driveways shall adhere to the yard requirements for accessory structures. Walkways in a nonresidential zone may be located in a yard area but they shall not encroach into any required buffer.

Two driveways with curb cuts are permitted per lot in the R-1, R-2, and R-3 Zone Districts. One driveway is permitted per lot in the R-4, R-5 and R-6 Zone Districts and for residential uses in the GB, NB and POB Zone Districts.

In the R-4, R-5 and R-6 Zone Districts, and for residential uses in the GB, NB and POB Zone Districts, the minimum size of a one car attached or detached garage shall be 260 square feet. That portion of the floor area of detached garages, equal to the lesser of 50% of the garage floor area or 130 square feet, shall not be considered in determining floor area, building and lot coverage.

The unfinished portion of single-family dwellings located within areas of special flood hazard that are: 1) located below the base flood elevation as set forth in Subsection 17-2.2, Establishment of Flood Hazard Area; and 2) used for parking or storage only, shall not be considered in determining floor area.

Parking shall comply with those standards set forth in subsection 22-9.2b, Off-Street Parking. Overnight parking shall be permitted only in garages or in driveways. No overnight parking may take place on lawn areas or other portions of a lot not intended for parking. All areas properly used for parking are included in lot coverage.

A one (1') foot setback for driveways from adjacent property lines is required in the R-4, R-5 and R-6 Zone Districts and for residential uses in the GB, NB and POB Zone Districts, unless adjacent property owners enter into an agreement to maintain a joint driveway.

Driveways and curb openings shall comport with the following schedule:

Except as provided by subsection 22-7.19, no trucks, tractor-trailers, tractors (for use in pulling trailers) or trailers shall be parked, stored or garaged in any residential zone, provided however, that these provisions shall not be construed to prevent the delivery by the use of such vehicles to premises in the residential zones of merchandise, furniture or construction materials to be used in construction upon the premises.

All garages, detached or attached, shall be arranged to provide adequate access and maneuvering room. In general, at least twenty-five (25') feet of unobstructed driveway should be provided aligned with the center line of a garage before a vehicle is required to make any significant turns. The Borough Engineer's opinion may be sought regarding the adequacy of garage access.

For residential properties that front on a Monmouth County Route with a single driveway, a k-turn space is permitted in the front yard constructed of a material to match the driveway. The k-turn space shall be located entirely on the subject property and comply with side setbacks as defined herein. The maximum size of the k-turn space shall not exceed nine (9') feet wide by eighteen (18') feet long. The k-turn space shall be included in lot coverage. The k-turn space shall not be used for parking and shall not satisfy off-street parking requirements.

A stable is permitted and a horse may be kept only in R-1 and R-2 Zone Districts on lots with area of one and one-half (1.5) acres or more. One additional horse may be kept for each full one acre increment of lot area in excess of one and one-half (1.5) acres.

For the purposes of this chapter, a stable for horses shall be deemed to be equivalent to a garage, and one horse shall be deemed to be equivalent to one motor vehicle.
