Wantage Township City Zoning Code

§ 13-24.5

Boarding, Training or Selling Including Reselling of Equine Animals.

a. 
The lot shall contain a minimum of six acres in area. However, the actual minimum area required shall be determined on the basis of the number of animals to be kept on the site; in a ratio of one acre per each animal to be kept. However, recognizing that it is conceivable that the application of such a straight line ratio may result in a minimum required area in excess of that actually required for the intended use, the board may, for good cause shown, reduce the effect of calculating lot size in applying the 1:1 ration on a straight line basis.
b. 
All buildings and structures shall be located in accordance with the required conditions as set forth in the R-1 zone district.
c. 
Adequate provisions shall be made to provide a suitable buffer to provide a barrier to light and sound between the use sought to be established and abutting properties.
d. 
Adequate provisions shall be made for the location of manure and other animal wastes and the storage of such materials shall not be closer than 100 feet to any property line.
e. 
Suitable fencing shall be provided in order to contain animals kept on the site in accordance with the requirements of the board.
f. 
Obtain site plan approval in accordance with the site plan review ordinance.
g. 
Provide adequate parking in accordance with the parking provisions set forth in section 13-19; except, however, that the number of parking spaces shall be calculated as follows. A minimum of six spaces plus one for each employee, not residing on the premises. There shall be one additional parking space for every two animals, in excess of 12 animals, being kept on the premises, unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the board, that no additional parking spaces are required.
h. 
Signs shall be permitted in accordance with the provisions of subsection 13-8.8, relating to highway commercial uses.
