Section 7:50-6.104 - Requirements for scenic corridors

(a) Except as provided in this section, no permit shall be issued for development other than for agricultural commercial establishments unless the applicant demonstrates that all buildings are set back at least 200 feet from the center line of the scenic corridor.

(b) If compliance with the 200-foot setback is constrained by environmental or other physical considerations, such as wetland, or active agricultural operation, the building shall be set back as close to 200 feet as practical and the site shall be landscaped in accordance with the provisions of Part II of this subchapter so as to provide screening from the corridor.

(c) If an applicant for development approval demonstrates that existing development patterns of the corridor are such that buildings are set back less than 200 feet within 1,000 feet of the site proposed for development, then a setback shall be set for the proposed development which is consistent with the established development pattern, provided that the site is landscaped in accordance with the provisions of Part II of this subchapter so as to provide screening between the building and the corridor.

(d) The requirements of this section shall not apply to cluster developments within the Forest and Rural Development Areas which comply with the standards of N.J.A.C. 7:50-5.19(c) and (d).
