A construction trailer as defined herein (§ 348-2.3) may be allowed upon a site where there has been an accelerated approval granted under § 348-7.2.1; or there is active construction of a nonresidential building, pursuant to a valid zoning permit. Such trailer shall be used only in connection with such construction and shall not remain upon the premises for longer than two weeks past the completion of said construction.

A trailer, container or modular unit utilized for storage of merchandise shall be permitted to be used for a period of no longer than 30 days in connection with a commercial sale provided the goods within the trailer, container or modular unit are the merchandise of a business located within a building on the subject property. This provision, however, shall not be used by a single commercial enterprise more frequently than two times per calendar year, and there shall be a minimum of 60 days between such sales events. There shall be a maximum of one trailer per premises at any one time, regardless, of how many commercial enterprises are located on the premises.

A trailer utilized for storage may be allowed upon a site where there is active construction of a residential development, provided that prior subdivision or site plan approval has been obtained and that such trailer shall be used only in connection with such development and shall not remain upon the premises for longer than two weeks past the completion of the last residential unit. In no event will any trailer, used in connection with a residential development, remain on said premises for more than two years from the date of construction of the first residential unit, or past the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the last residential unit, whichever shall occur first.

Where a sales trailer is proposed, site plan or subdivision approval shall identify the location of said trailer and the location and surface materials of parking areas and pedestrian ways in order to provide effective and safe access not only for the public but for emergency service vehicles as well. In no event will any trailer, used under the terms of this subsection, remain on said premises for more than two years from the date of issuance of a construction permit, or past the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the last residential or nonresidential unit, whichever shall occur first.

A trailer may be allowed upon a business site wherein there is an emergency, defined as the unintended loss or destruction of a building or pad thereof that would require the use of a trailer on the site for purposes of storage of goods, equipment, or materials.

This approval will be granted for a period of 90 days and is renewable at the discretion of the Township Zoning Officer for one additional ninety-day period. An emergency that calls for more than 180 days of trailer use involving the storage or sale of merchandise shall require application to the Township Planning Board for site plan approval prior to the expiration of the first ninety-day permit.
