City of Vineland Land Use Ordinance Amendment Design Standards for Community Design of stormwater management basins; promote the use of vegetated open-channel drainage systems that discharge into and through stable vegetated areas; and minimize impervious surfaces. An application for development shall identify the nonstructural measures for stormwater management that have been incorporated into the design. If the applicant contends that it is not feasible to rely primarily upon a natural strategy and nonstructural measures for stormwater management, the applicant shall be required to substantiate that contention to the satisfaction of the Planning Board. (1) No stormwater management basin which requires a fence shall be located in a front yard. A stormwater management basin that is two (2) feet or less in depth shall not be required to be fenced. (2) Stormwater management ponds and/or depressions, where permitted, shall be designed and utilized as site amenities to enhance the visual environment. Subject to the requirements of other governmental agencies, and a consideration of safety related issues, stormwater facilities that are located in the front of a property should be prohibited from having fencing. If fencing is required, a green or black vinyl/painted finish shall be provided. Any walls or railings for structured stormwater ‘boxes’ must be decorative. Fenced or walled ponds shall not count toward open space requirements within a project and shall only be located at the side or rear of a site. Maximum Fence Height shall be no more than four (4) feet. (3) Wet stormwater detention/retention facilities adjacent to public streets or open to public view shall include a water feature such as a fountain or spray jet, and shall be landscaped appropriately. (4) Detention/Retention if permitted along the front of a property shall be designed with curvilinear edges – not as a straight ‘box’ and shall be attractively landscaped. (5) Stormwater detention areas, where permitted, shall be planted with suitable ground cover, and unless maintained as an open lawn swale, shall be attractively landscaped to screen the view.

City of Vineland Land Use Ordinance Amendment Design Standards for Community Design M. External site lighting. Commercial buildings and projects, including their outparcels, shall be designed to provide safe, convenient and efficient lighting for pedestrians and vehicles. Lighting shall be designed in a consistent and coordinated manner for the entire project. Lighting shall be used to accent key architectural elements and/or to emphasize landscape features, and shall be designed and installed to avoid the creation of hot spots, glare or a nuisance. (1) Light fixtures shall be designed as an integral design element that complements the design of the project through style, material or color. All light poles and fixtures shall be black, dark green or some similarly dark color that is consistent with the architectural design scheme of the property. Lighting of on-site buildings shall be limited to wall-washer type fixtures or uplights, which do not produce spillover lighting or glare.

(2) To provide cohesiveness and uniformity, a lighting plan shall be submitted as part of an application for site plan approval. (3) Lighting intensities for ATM machines shall comply with New Jersey Statutes. (4) Lighting intensities shall be designed as recommended by the most recent edition of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) of North America’s IES Lighting Handbook. (5) A light fixture (the pole and light source/luminary) shall be a maximum of thirty (30) feet in height within any parking lot, and a maximum of sixteen (16) feet in height within any nonvehicular pedestrian area (with height being measured from the finished grade to the top of the light fixture). (6) At service stations and convenience centers, lighting under awnings, canopies, portecocheres, etc., should be recessed. If not recessed, the box type or other lighting fixture shall be opaque on all sides (no light shall emanate from any side of the fixture).
