TOWNSHIP
OF VERNON
ORDINANCE #04-30
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND AND SUPPLEMENT THE COMPREHENSIVE
LAND DEVELOPMENT SUBCODE, AUTHORIZE ZONING DISTRICT CHANGES
TO CERTAIN PROPERTIES AND CHANGES TO THE ZONING MAP OF
THE TOWNSHIP OF VERNON.
Whereas, the Township Council has reviewed the attached
recommendations of the Planning Board and requested changes
to the zoning map of the Township of Vernon; and
Whereas,
the proposed zoning changes have been recommended by the
Township Planning Board and professional staff to provide
for residential growth at lower densities to protect ground
water quality, steep slopes, scenic vistas and to avoid
intrusive land use near wetland and buffer areas. Further,
the zoning changes significantly lessen the amount of
future population in the environs and promote concentrated
mixed use activities in the town center zone district;
and
Whereas,
the Township Planning Board held a public hearing on October
22, 2003 and July 14, 2004 on the proposed land use changes
to the Land Use Plan of the Township Master Plan; and
Whereas,
the Township Planning Board approved the changes, as modified,
to the Land Use Plan of the Township Master Plan at the
November 12, 2003 and October 13, 2004 meetings; and
Whereas,
the Township Council has determined to act favorably upon
the requested changes; and
Now,
Therefore, based upon the recommendations of the Planning
Board of the Township of Vernon:
Be
It Ordained by the Township Council of the Township of
Vernon, County of Sussex, State of New Jersey, that the
