All cart corrals shall be designed to be consistent and congruent with the architectural and visual standards established by the various streetscape components along Bloomfield Avenue, and shall require an application for site plan approval to determine if said corrals are consistent with these standards. In general these standards shall result in an enclosure constructed of cast or rolled aluminum, powdered coated with a black or dark green glossy finish. Enclosures shall be constructed with a base section affixed to a black or dark green header, approximately six inches to 10 inches in height, as required to adequately anchor the structure to the ground. The base section shall have open lattice or railing between uprights to enclose the carts. No glass shall be used on the sides of the structure. Above the base shall be an open area of at least three feet in height, trimmed with coordinating lattice or railing at the top of no more than 12 inches in height. The roof of the structure shall be of sloping design with a central peak running along the length of the structure and sloping to all four sides, and shall be enclosed with dark gray tinted tempered glass or polycarbonate resin thermoplastic of sufficient thickness to form a rigid panel. The top shall be adorned with a decorative treatment. Cast aluminum decorative bollards of the same color as the structure may be used to protect the structure provided that they do not interfere with the clear width of the driveway aisle. The maximum height of the structure shall be 11 feet.

All cart corrals shall be ADA compliant, and shall not be locked or enclosed with gates or chains or any device requiring payment to access the shopping carts.

No more than one cart corral structure per 10,000 square feet of parking area shall be permitted. In the B-2 Zone District where more than one use or occupancy exists on the site, all cart corrals shall be of similar design and shall be coordinated by the owner of the property.

Corrals shall be constructed back to back for the length of two parking spaces unless located in an area where only one row of parking is proposed. This shall be considered as a single corral for determining compliance with the maximum number of corrals permitted on the site, and for compliance with appropriate accessory use and structure standards. The width of a cart corral shall not exceed that required for two rows of carts, and shall fit within a full sized parking space with at least 18 inches clear on each side between the structure and the center line of the parking space striping.

All corrals shall be located so as not to interfere with drainage patterns and snow removal practices, and shall be placed to assure that stormwater runoff and/or snow melt does not create ponding or icing conditions along the base of or within the structure. Snow shall not be piled nearer than the width of two parking spaces adjacent to any cart corral.

Corrals shall be located to prevent carts from rolling into active parking areas, aisles or driveways. A stop bar or ridge shall be installed to prevent carts from rolling or blowing out of the enclosure.

No advertising or signage, other than one sign with the wording "Return Carts Here" shall be permitted. That directional sign shall be integrated into the structure at the entrance of the corral, be a horizontal rectangular shape of no more than four square feet, and consist of no more than two colors which coordinate with the color of the corral. Said sign shall be exempt from application and permit.

The applicant shall submit a written narrative plan describing how carts will be managed, the frequency of collection from parking areas, the staffing that will be provided to keep carts within the enclosure in straight rows and prevent the accumulation of carts within the parking area, and a proposed maintenance plan for the enclosure. The narrative plan shall also indicate the proposed methods of compliance with the operator's obligation to monitor public bus shelters and bus stop locations for carts that have been removed from the premises and for returning such carts to the corral or store interior in order to ensure that no carts will be left overnight at any public bus shelter or bus stop location within the Township of West Caldwell.
