Parking or storage in front yards. The parking or storage of boats, vehicles or other equipment in any front yard setback, side yard setback or rear yard setback is prohibited.
Display of goods for sale in yards. The display of goods for sale or the location of coin-operated vending machines of any type in a manner which would infringe upon the required yard areas specified in this chapter is prohibited.
Required areas on lot to be in zone where required. All yards, open space, off-street parking areas, and required buffer strips must be contained within the zone in which the use to be served thereby is permitted.
Commercial vehicles parked in residence zones. No commercial vehicle shall be parked out-of-doors overnight or on Sunday on any lot in a residential zone. Not more than one commercial vehicle may be garaged on a lot in a residential zone. No display vehicles for commercial purposes shall be parked in any residential district.

FEMA Flood Hazard Boundary Map. All construction within the Borough shall comply with the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program, including the most current Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), referred to as 1971 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) FIRM, as revised on April 1976, and any subsequent revisions thereof on file in the office of the Borough Clerk.

[Amended 12-15-1998 by Ord. No. 94-98]
Recyclable materials storage. Materials designated in Chapter 178, Solid Waste, Article II, Recycling, shall be separated from other solid waste by the generator and a storage area for recyclable material shall be provided as follows:
[Added 2-17-1990]
For each subdivision or site plan application for 20 or more residential units, the applicant shall provide a storage area of at least 12 square feet within each dwelling unit to accommodate a four-week accumulation of mandated recyclables, including but not limited to newspaper, glass bottles, aluminum cans, tin and bimetal cans.

[Added 5-2-1995 by Ord. No. 16-95]
Front yard setbacks on two or more streets. Front yard setbacks for a particular zone shall be required and applicable to the yards fronting on both streets on a corner lot, thereby requiring two front yard setbacks rather than one front yard and one side yard setback. This requirement allows for the continuation of the house sight line to remain consistent on both streets on which a corner property fronts.
[Added 5-6-2003 by Ord. No. 7-2003]
In cases where one of the front yard setbacks would be more consistent with the adjoining property if it were treated as a side yard, than the side yard setback shall apply for that side only. In cases where the property will be considered to have two front yards, the remaining yards shall be considered side yards and no rear yard setback will be required. In no case shall Ocean Avenue ever be considered a "side yard."

Zoning Map. For the purposes of this chapter, the Borough of Sea Bright is hereby divided into the various zones shown on the Zoning Map of the Borough of Sea Bright, dated March 21, 1989, and amended by the map attached hereto and made a part hereof. This map, together with all references and notations shown in it, is declared to be a part of this chapter until such time as a new map shall be drawn.[1]
[Amended 4-17-1989; 12-17-2002 by Ord. No. 15-2002]
Editor's Note: The Zoning Map, as amended, is included at the end of this chapter.
Zone boundaries. Where the location of a zone boundary line is not able to be precisely ascertained from inspection of the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
Zone boundary lines are intended to follow the center line of the streets, railroad rights-of-way, streams 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 as shown on the Zoning Map.
Where such boundaries are not fixed by dimensions and where they approximately follow lot lines and where they do not scale more than 10 feet distant therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.
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.
Establishment of districts. The zones shown on the Zoning Map are hereby categorized into the three kinds of districts as listed below according to the principal intent of each of the various zones as set forth subsequently in this section.
R-1 Residence Zones.
R-2 Residence Zones.
R-3 Downtown Residence Zone.
R-4 Multifamily Housing.
[Added 3-15-2011 by Ord. No. 4-2011]
B-1 Central Business Zones.
B-2 Riverfront Business Zones.
B-3 Oceanfront Business Zones.
Coastal Protection Districts.
CP Coastal Protection Zone.
Mixed Use Business/Residential Zones.
B-R Business Residential Zone.
Intent and purposes of districts and zones. As hereinafter set forth, the intent and purposes of the various districts and zones established by this chapter shall be held to be the guiding principles to be relied upon by all who have the responsibility of interpreting, enforcing, administering and otherwise using the various provisions of this chapter. These guiding principles are to be considered specifically by the Construction Official in his consideration of applications made to him and in his exercise of the powers of his office and by the Planning Board in consideration and action on subdivisions, site plans and other matters upon which it is herein empowered to act.
Intent and purposes of nonresidential zones.
The business districts established by this chapter are designed to provide sufficient space in appropriate locations for various distinct forms of business development; to satisfy the needs of modern business development by providing for off-street parking and loading and unloading areas, safe and efficient means of vehicular ingress and egress and continuity and homogeneity of business development frontage; and to encourage the development of more attractive and economic forms of building development under proper standards.
B-1 Zone: specific intent and purpose. The B-1 Zone is the central or town business zone designed to provide for local shopping and to include a wide range of retail business and service establishments which cater to the frequently recurring needs of the residents. The primary purpose of all permitted uses in this zone should be to encourage a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use-Main-Street character for this zone. Retail and personal service with inviting storefronts would be most encouraged, with an open feel and small scale at street level. The purpose of future development and rehabilitation in this zone should be to retain the historic charm and character of Sea Bright’s downtown.
B-2 Zone: specific intent and purposes. The B-2 Riverfront Business Zone is designed to provide for the development of properties for uses oriented to river activities, especially those uses which cater to the needs and convenience of boating or to the enjoyment of the river views and vistas by others. This may include certain forms of residential uses where conflict with business uses can be avoided or appropriately minimized, together with marinas and restaurants.
B-3 Zone: specific intent and purposes. The B-3 Oceanfront Business Zone is designed to provide for the use and development of properties for uses oriented to ocean beach activities, especially swimming and sunning. However, the Council recognizes the threat to security of this zone and the frequency of flooding and damages to this area as a result of sea water. Therefore, with due regard to the safety of persons and structures thereon, no building whatsoever shall be erected between the sea wall and the Atlantic Ocean in the B-3 Zone for any purpose.
[Amended 11-19-1984]
CP Zone: Specific intent and purposes. The CP Coastal Protection Zone is a special zone covering a very narrow strip of land between Ocean Avenue and the Atlantic Ocean, shown on the Zoning Map. The purpose of this zone is to recognize the threat to security and frequency of flooding and damage to this area as a result of sea water. It is designed to provide the highest and best use of said land with due regard for safety of persons and structures thereon.
Primary uses permitted schedules. All uses which are intended to be permitted in the various zones as permitted primary uses or conditional uses are classified and enumerated by Zone Schedules in Subsections C(1), (2), (3), (4) and (5), and the zones in which they are to be permitted are designated therein. Certain of these uses are further defined and described in Subsection B where it has been determined that such definition and description beyond that provided in the schedules is necessary to ensure the proper and equitable administration of this chapter.
