Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-39c, and subject to the limitations of this subsection, a developer of a planned commercial development may increase the concentration of development within the POD-S Zone if such increase is offset by a corresponding reduction of development in the POD-N Zone.
(5)
The developer shall be permitted to increase floor area ratio in the POD-S Zone to 0.180, provided that this increase is offset by elimination of the commercial development permitted in the POD-N Zone. Any increased floor area ratio is only permitted if the entire development in the POD-N Zone is eliminated, excepting utilities to service the POD-S Zone.
(6)
If the conditionally permitted senior citizen housing community component, pursuant to § 250-119.B, is developed, the allowances to increase floor area ratio in the POD-S Zone shall be limited to 0.157, provided that this increase is offset by elimination of the commercial development permitted in the POD-N Zone.

On any such lot, the minimum front yard requirement shall be 100 feet and the setback shall be measured from the nearest property line to the front of the building as identified on the site plan. Such lots need not comply with minimum lot width requirements, but must meet all area, yard, setback, height, and coverage requirements applicable to the POD-S Zone.

The gross floor area (other than excluded floor area) of a planned commercial development in the POD-S Zone may, pursuant to a general development plan, equal but shall not exceed as a permitted use 830,000 square feet and as a conditional use may equal 1,730,000 square feet.
