§ 271-4. Zoning Map.
The aforesaid zones are hereby established by the designations,
locations and boundaries set forth and indicated on the Zoning Map dated

of Bloomfield" and is hereby decreed to be a part of this chapter.EN
§ 271-5. Determination of zone boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists as to any of said boundaries as shown
on said map, the following rules shall apply:
A. Zone boundary lines are intended to follow the center lines of the
streets, railroad rights-of-way, streams, ponds and lakes and lot or property
lines as they exist on plats of record at the time of the passage of this
chapter unless such zone boundary lines are fixed by dimensions or as otherwise
shown on the Zoning Map.
B. Where such boundaries are not fixed by dimensions and where they
approximately follow lot lines and where they do not scale more than ten
(10) feet in distance therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed to be
such boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.
C. In unsubdivided land and where a zone boundary divides a lot, the
location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown
on the map, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
D. Any areas, e.g., streets, which are not shown on the Zoning Map
as being in any one (1) zone shall be considered in the most restricted
adjacent zone. For streets, this shall be considered on a block-by-block
basis.
§ 271-6. Statement of intent.
In the recognition that all conceivable uses and circumstances
may not have been foreseen and specifically provided for within this chapter,
the following statements shall be deemed to reflect the intent of the Township
of Bloomfield in creating the respective zones and shall be used as a guide
in instances of question as to the interpretation of specific provisions.
A. Residential. In all residential zones, it is the intent of the township
to encourage those conditions most beneficial to a residential atmosphere.
(1) Residential, low-density single-family (R-1A). In this zone, it
is the intent of the township to restrict uses and guide development in
such a manner as to maintain the existing high quality and low density
of development by restriction of land use to single-family dwellings and
such other limited uses as may contribute to the nature of such area.
(2) Residential, medium-density family (R-1B). In this zone, it is
the intent of the township to encourage those conditions most beneficial
to the maintenance of a single-family residential atmosphere but to permit
a greater density of land use than in the R-1A District.
(3) Residential, two-family (R-2A) and (R-2B). In these zones, it is
the intent of the township to permit a greater density of population than
in the R-1A or R-1B District but to control such density by limiting land
use to one- or two-family dwellings.
(4) Residential, garden apartment (R-G). In this zone, it is the intent
of the township to permit the development of garden apartments [defined
as dwellings for over two (2) families and not over two (2) stories in
height] in certain areas and to so control such developments as to avoid
adverse effects upon adjacent properties and maximize benefit to the township
as a whole.
(5) Residential, high-rise (R-H). In this zone, it is the intent of
the township, in recognition of the special problems and benefits of high-rise
apartment dwellings, to designate certain areas, to the exclusion of other
areas, where such structures may be constructed and to so control such
use as to avoid adverse effects upon adjacent areas.
(6) Residential conversion (R-C). In this zone, it is the intent of
the township, in recognition of the discontinuance of industrial use in
certain industrial buildings and complexes due to the functional obsolescence
of these buildings and complexes, to encourage their adoptive reuse for
multifamily housing and accessory services. Provisions are also made for
possible office and health care service uses which might be appropriate
for such formerly industrial buildings. New construction is to be limited
to residential development for one- or two-family homes and townhouses
in accordance with the standards for those uses contained in this chapter
of the Code of the Township of Bloomfield, New Jersey. [Added 8-8-1988]
B. Business (B-1) and (B-2). In all business zones, it is the intent
of the township to guide development in such a fashion as to best facilitate
the establishment and expansion of business uses.
(1) Central business (B-1). In this zone, it is the intent to establish
an area within which a wide diversity of services may be provided with
as dense a use of land as is consistent with the requirements of health
and safety.
(2) Neighborhood business (B-2). In this zone, it is the intent to
establish areas within which certain restricted business uses are permitted
to serve the neighborhood within which they are located. Larger lots within
this zone are permitted to be developed as community shopping centers serving
the neighborhood as well as other areas. [Amended 12-4-1995]
C. Office (O). In recognition of the special nature of office uses,
certain areas have been provided in which such uses may be permitted but
other commercial uses excluded because of the nature and sensitivity of
adjacent areas.
D. Office and research (C-1 and C-2). In these zones, it is the intent
to establish areas within which land may be used for large-scale office
and research purposes in a manner designed to avoid adverse effects upon
adjacent property and to maximize benefits to the township.
E. General industrial (M-1). In this zone, it is the intent to establish
areas within which industrial uses may be established and expanded under
suitable controls. Such uses shall not be construed to include any use
which, by reason of noise, odor, air and water pollution, glare or other
nuisance factor, shall have an adverse effect upon adjacent property.
F. Recreational and institutional (RI). In this zone, it is the intent
to establish areas within the urbanized environment for private recreational
and institutional uses which respect the open land character of the zone.
G. Public (P). In this zone, it is the intent to make clear that lands
so zoned are publicly owned and so used as to make their sale for private
purpose and subsequent reuse unlikely. No land so zoned shall be sold for
private use prior to rezoning of said land.
H. [Added 1-9-1995] Redevelopment Area (RA-1). In this zone, it is
the intent of the township to encourage the redevelopment of function-obsolescence
manufacturing and industrial facilities to land uses that will:
(1) Produce tax revenues to the Township of Bloomfield;
(2) Provide employment opportunities for area residents;
(3) Minimize potential drains on township services;
(4) Be compatible with adjacent land uses; and
(5) Be appropriate for the site.
