Toms River City Zoning Code

§ 348-9.1

Guiding principles and general provisions.

[Amended 10-10-2017 by Ord. No. 4558-17]
Recognizing that certain uses, activities and structures are necessary to serve the needs and provide for the convenience of the citizens of the Township of Toms River and at the same time appreciating the fact that they or any one of them may be or may become inimical to the public health, safety and general welfare of the community if located without due consideration to the existing conditions and surroundings, such uses are designated as conditional uses subject to the standards and regulations hereby established. These standards and regulations are intended to provide the approving authority with a guide for reviewing applications for conditional uses as provided for by this chapter. As a result of the review procedure, the applicant may be required to meet additional standards and regulations imposed by the approving authority during site plan review which are in keeping with and will further the intent of these standards and regulations. Such standards and regulations shall be provided for and maintained as a condition of the establishment and maintenance of any use to which they are a condition of approval. In acting upon an application for conditional use approval, the approving authority shall be guided by the following standards and principles:
A. 
All conditional uses shall be required to obtain site plan approval, unless otherwise specified in this chapter.
B. 
Conditional uses shall adhere to the standards set forth in this article and as may apply under the development standards set forth elsewhere in this chapter.
C. 
No use set forth in this article shall be considered a conditional use unless it is specifically listed as a conditional use in the zone district regulations, unless otherwise specified herein.
