Vernon Township City Zoning Code

§ 330-196

Farming and agricultural uses.

[Amended 1-28-2002 by Ord. No. 02-04]
It is an express purpose of this chapter and article to promote farming and agricultural uses in Vernon Township in recognition of the Township's rural and agricultural heritage. The provisions of this chapter and article shall, therefore, be liberally construed as applied to farming and agricultural uses, structures, buildings and standards. To the greatest practicable extent, the application of the standards and regulations of this chapter and article shall be reconciled with the Right to Farm Act, N.J.S.A. 4:1C-1 et seq. and the provisions of § 330-197 of this chapter in such a way as to advance agricultural purposes and efforts without unnecessary or excessive zoning enforcement; provided, however, that the public health, safety and welfare shall not be thereby compromised.
