Fair Lawn requires front yards to be landscaped except for necessary driveways, and prohibits parking in front of buildings outside of designated driveway areas.
Fair Lawn's zoning regulations require front yards to be landscaped, with parking only permitted on properly constructed driveways. Vehicles cannot be parked on grass, lawns, or other unimproved surfaces in the front yard. Driveways must be paved or otherwise improved to municipal standards. Parking on a residential lot must occur within the designated driveway, and any expansion of impervious driveway area requires zoning review. The intent is to preserve neighborhood aesthetics and prevent stormwater runoff issues.
Zoning violations carry fines and may require removal of unauthorized paving or vehicles. Continued non-compliance can result in escalating penalties under Borough enforcement.
