Expedited review of NAICS code revisions. The Township recognizes that there may be additional uses identified by NAICS codes not contained in the Schedule of Permitted and Conditional Uses, Nonresidential Zone Districts, the inclusion of which in certain zones would be consistent with the intent and provisions of the Master Plan and this chapter.

An applicant may request the inclusion of an additional NAICS code as a permitted or conditional use in any nonresidential zone district and shall receive an expedited review and decision on such request.

The Land Use Officer shall prepare a one-page application form for consideration of the addition of an NAICS code to the Schedule of Permitted and Conditional Uses. An applicant may also submit such additional information concerning the nature of the applicant's use as the applicant may wish the Township to consider. There shall be no fee for the making of such an application.

The Land Use Officer, within seven days of receipt of such an application, shall forward the application to the Township Committee, together with a report and recommendation concerning the application.

The Township Committee shall review and act upon the application at its first regular executive meeting alter receipt of the report and recommendation from the Land Use Officer.

Solar energy systems shall be a permitted use in the AI, GI-10, GI-5, OP-10, OR-10 and OR-5 zones of the Township, and shall constitute the principal use of the lot on which it is located. For all such systems site plan approval is required. Any proposed installation which is not in one of the zones listed herein shall be considered a prohibited use.

A person who owns a preserved farmland may construct, install and operate solar energy systems on an area less than the ten-acre minimum for such a use on the preserved portions of the farm or on any portion excluded from preservation.

A site plan application for a solar energy system shall address, and not be limited to, buffering, care and maintenance of all property associated with the installation, security, visual impacts, drainage, traffic to and from the site. Installations shall be subject to the following requirements:

To the extent reasonably possible, solar energy panels, regardless of how they are mounted, shall be oriented and/or screened year round so that glare is directed away from adjoining properties and streets.

To the extent reasonably possible, solar energy systems shall be designed using such features as colors, materials, textures, screening and landscaping so as to blend into their settings and avoid visual blight. The solar energy systems shall remain painted or finished in the color or finish that was originally applied by the manufacturer. The exterior surface of any visible components shall be a nonreflective, neutral color like white, grey or another nonobtrusive color. Finishes shall be matter or nonreflective.

Solar energy systems shall not be used for the display of advertising.

All solar energy system collector installations must be performed by a qualified solar installer, and prior to operation the electrical connections must be inspected by the Construction Office or other appropriate electrical inspection agency as determined by the Township. In addition, any interconnection to the public utility grid must be inspected by the appropriate public utility.

When solar storage batteries are included as part of the solar energy collector system, they must be placed in a secure container or enclosure meeting the requirements of the New Jersey State Building Code when in use and when no longer used shall be disposed of in accordance with the laws and regulations of the State of New Jersey and other applicable laws and regulations.

Clearing of natural vegetation for the installation of a solar energy system shall be limited to that which is necessary for the construction, operation and maintenance of the system and as otherwise prescribed by applicable laws, regulations and ordinances.

Any trees to be removed to accommodate the installation of a solar energy system shall be accompanied by a plan demonstrating the need to remove the trees. Any applicant shall locate a solar energy system so that tree removal is not required, to the extent practical.

Any ancillary buildings and any outside storage associated with a solar energy system must, to the extent reasonably possible, use materials, colors, textures, screening and landscaping that will blend the facility into the natural setting and existing environment (i.e., in an agricultural setting accessory buildings could be designed to look like barns). Appropriate landscaping and architecture shall be provided to screen accessory structures from roads and adjacent residences.
