TOWNSHIP ORDINANCE #03-25
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING S1152 OF THE TOWNSHIP OF VERNON,
NJ COMPREHENSIVE LAND DEVELOPMENT SUBCODE
Whereas,
the Vernon Township Council recognizes the importance
of maintaining an effective and reasonable Comprehensive
Land Development Subcode which does not create an unnecessary
burden or hardship on Vernon Township residents and businesses
who are desirous of keeping certain vehicles on their
property; and
Whereas,
the Vernon Township Council, in an effort to provide clarification
to existing S1152 of the Comprehensive Land Development
Subcode and reduce problems stemming from the parking
of commercial vehicles and school buses on properties
in the township, is desirous of allowing an exception
which would permit the parking of certain vehicles on
large lots and farm properties where adequate screening
from adjoining properties can be reasonably maintained.
Now,
Therefore, Be It Ordained by the Township Council of Vernon,
County of Sussex and State of New Jersey that S1152 of
the Comprehensive Land Development Subcode shall be amended
to read as follows in Paragraph 1 of this Ordinance:
1. Commercial vehicles in residential districts. Not more
than one (1) commercial vehicle shall be parked on a lot
used for residential purposes. Such vehicle shall be owned,
leased or regularly operated by a resident of the premises,
or if not the resident, then on property that is at least
six (6) acres in size, and said vehicle shall be limited
to vehicles which are no more than 26' in length and have
a GVW rating of 17,500, or is a school bus, and this provision
shall not be construed to limit the number and type of
commercial vehicles in use on a farm and in connection
with farming operations conducted on the property.
2. The Township Clerk is hereby directed to give notice
at least ten days prior to the adoption of this Ordinance
to the County Planning Board and to all other persons
entitled thereto pursuant to NJSA 40:55D-15 and NJSA 40:55D-63
(if required). Upon the adoption of this ordinance after
public hearing thereon, the Township Clerk is further
directed to publish notice of the passage thereof and
to file a copy of the Ordinance as finally adopted with
the Sussex County Planning Board as required by NJSA 40:55D-16.
The Clerk shall also forthwith transmit a copy of this
Ordinance after final passage to the Township Tax Assessor
as required by NJSA 40:49-2.1.
3. All ordinances or parts of ordinances or resolutions
that are in conflict with the provisions of this Ordinance
are repealed to the extent necessary.
4. If any article, section, subsection, term or condition
of this Ordinance is declared invalid or illegal for any
reason, the balance of the Ordinance shall be deemed severable
and shall remain in full force and effect.
5. This Ordinance shall take effect after publication
and passage according to law.
