Section 16:47-5.2 - Trip limitations for nonconforming lots or sites
Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 16:47-5.2
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) A nonconforming lot or site is subject to maximum trip limitations that shall not be exceeded and shall be made a condition of the access permit issued for that lot or site. On lots or sites with access to both State highways and streets, maximum trip limitations only apply to the State highway access.
(b) Maximum trip limitations shall be determined as follows:
1. The abbreviations and meaning of
the variables used in the formulas below are as follows:
i. S -- Spacing distance, based on the posted
speed limit and
N.J.A.C.
16:47-5.1(f).
ii. L -- Left distance between the lot or site
centerline and either the centerline of the next adjacent non-single family
residential lot, or the centerline of the street, ramp, or nearest jughandle roadway
opening as applicable, the centerline of the adjacent intersecting street roadway
opening for a corner lot, or one-half of the State highway frontage plus one-half of
the intersecting street frontage for a corner lot with access to the intersecting
street. The maximum distance for L cannot exceed S.
iii. R -- Right distance measured the same as L
above. The maximum distance for R cannot exceed S.
iv. A -- Area of the lot or site expressed in
acres, but no greater than 3.0 on an urban State highway and 2.0 on a rural State
highway.
v. V -- Maximum peak hour trips
(total to and from the lot or site).
2. For lots or sites on an urban State highway,
the highest A.M., P.M., or weekend maximum peak hour trips for the driveway between
a State highway and a lot or site shall be determined using the following formula:
V = 50 + [(L + R)<2> / (2 x S)<2>] x A x 100
L[max] = S
R[max] = S
A[max] = 3.0
3. For lots or sites on a rural State highway, the
highest A.M., P.M., or weekend maximum peak hour trips for the driveway between a
State highway and a lot or site shall be determined using the following formula:
V = 50 + [(L + R)<2> / (2 x S)<2>] x A x 70
L[max] = S
R[max] = S
A[max] = 2.
4.
The maximum peak hour trips (V) will be increased by 15 percent (V = 1.15) if a lot
or site has features in (b)4i below. No increase in the maximum trip limitations
shall be given to any lot created by the subdivision of a nonconforming lot.
i. Access to a street other than the State
highway. Driveways on municipal or county streets that are under Department
jurisdiction but are not numbered State highways will be considered as non-State
highway access for the purpose of calculating a maximum peak hour trip bonus
described above. The non- State highway access does not have to be to an
intersecting side street to be given this bonus.
