Section 7:7-13.11 - Determining the development potential for a campground development site in the upland waterfront development area

(a) Subject to the limitations at N.J.A.C. 7:7-13.8(c)3, the development potential for a campground development site in the upland waterfront development area is determined using (b) through (d) below.

(b) A site upon which a campground development site is proposed is a high development potential site if it meets all of the requirements at (b)1 through 3 below:

1. An existing paved public or private road abuts the site;

2. If an offsite wastewater conveyance, treatment and disposal system is to be used:

i. The existing conveyance component of the system abuts the site; and

ii. The existing wastewater conveyance, treatment and disposal system has adequate capacity to convey, treat, and dispose of the sewage from the proposed development, or the applicant has an agreement with the sewage authority to modify the system to provide adequate capacity; and

3. The land surrounding the site is natural; undeveloped; contains beaches, streams, or forests; and is readily accessible by foot to campground users.

(c) A site upon which a campground development is proposed is a medium development potential site if it is not a high development site under (b) above but does meet the requirements of (c)1 and 2 below:

1. The site is one-half mile or less from the nearest existing paved public road; and

2. If an offsite wastewater conveyance, treatment, and disposal system is to be used, the site is 1,000 feet or less from the existing conveyance component of that system, provided:

i. The existing wastewater conveyance, treatment and disposal system has adequate capacity to convey, treat, and dispose of the sewage from the proposed development, or the applicant has an agreement with the sewage authority to modify the system to provide adequate capacity.

(d) A site upon which a campground development is proposed is a low development potential site if it is neither a high development potential site under (b) above nor a medium development potential site under (c) above.

(e) Rationale: Sites most suitable for campground development are in close proximity to existing public roadways and existing wastewater management infrastructure to reduce the environmental impact of constructing new roadways and waste management conveyance, treatment, and disposal systems. In contrast to residential, commercial, and industrial development, sites surrounded by undeveloped natural areas have the highest campground development potential. Sites abutted by other types of development are generally not suitable for campground development.
