Union Beach City Zoning Code

§ 13-5.32

Building Finish and Screening of Elevated Structures.

[Ord. No. 2016-244 § 4]
a. 
Building on Pilings, Columns or Piers. Elevated buildings shall provide screening (except where vehicular access is provided, and except where the columns or piers are suitably finished) so that the construction-grade pilings, columns, piers and cross-bracing are not visible from the street and adjoining properties, in a manner permitted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Hazard Regulations and the Borough Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. The screening shall be permanent (except in a "V" zone where break-a-way walls are required), and may be constructed of wood panels, vinyl, dimensional lattice, masonry or other suitable material compatible with the finish and architectural style of the building.
b. 
Buildings Elevated by Means of Solid Foundation Perimeter Walls. Solid foundation perimeter walls shall be finished in a manner that does not detract from the appearance of the neighborhood. Unfinished concrete block and cinder block is not acceptable. Split-face and decorative block, stucco, wood, vinyl and fiber cement siding, brick (and veneers), stone (and veneers), or other suitable material compatible with the finish and architectural style of the building are acceptable foundation wall treatments.
