East Windsor City Zoning Code
§ 20-22.9
Required Recreational Facilities.
a.
Each age-restricted housing development shall provide adequate active recreational facilities within the specified open space in order to satisfy the needs of the anticipated residential population of the development. All recreational facilities shall adhere to the standards set forth in the Barrier Free Subcode of the Uniform Construction Code of the State of New Jersey.
b.
The following listing and ratios of recreational facilities are recommended as guidelines for the applicant and Planning Board in their evaluation of the adequacy of proposed recreational facilities within an age-restricted housing development, although alternative recreational facilities and ratios thereof may be proposed by the applicant and approved by the board:
1.
When the number of age-restricted dwelling units exceeds 150 units, one swimming pool shall be provided for the age-restricted units. The swimming pool shall have a minimum water surface of 1,800 square feet, and a deck/patio equal to an area equivalent to 150% of the water surface area.
2.
One tennis court shall be provided for each approximately 150 age-restricted dwelling units.
3.
One clubhouse/recreation building, at least 10,000 gross square feet in area, shall be provided to serve any age-restricted dwelling units, with adjacent off-street parking as approved by the Planning Board.
4.
At least four courts, either bocce and/or shuffleboard courts, shall be provided for any age-restricted development.
5.
Jogging and bicycle paths shall be provided as part of an age-restricted housing development.
c.
Subject to review and approval by the Planning Board, the recreational complex associated with adjacent age-restricted housing developments may be permitted to be shared between the housing units located within the adjacent developments, thereby providing the economies of scale to construct relatively significant facilities and negate the need to duplicate facilities on the individual properties.
