The intent of this subsection is to permit, as a conditional use in the portions of the R-7 Zone which are designated to be severed, PRRC's which provide for the construction of detached single-family dwellings on smaller lots than would otherwise be permitted in conventional subdivisions and the construction of certain types of attached single-family dwellings, at a density reflecting the carrying capacity of the land in the R-7 Zone, in exchange for open space for the development of commercial-recreational facilities to provide a variety of recreational opportunities primarily for the use by the residents of the development. A development consisting of commercial recreational facilities and residential units should be integrated into the site as to protect and preserve significant natural features and resources (such as steep slopes, woodlands, wetlands, floodplains, stream corridors and scenic vistas).

A prospective developer of a planned residential recreation community must submit a conceptual plan for informal review prior to the submission of a formal development application to enable the Land Use Board to evaluate and comment on the suitability of the tract in question for a planned residential recreation community which will satisfy the intent of this section and the required conditions set forth at Subsection 16-19B.16c below.

Total land area.

Permitted uses in all PRRCs. The uses listed below shall only be permitted in conjunction with those permitted uses listed for the R-7 Zone.

Permitted Accessory Uses in All PRRC's:

Permitted uses in a planned nine- or eighteen-hole golf course country club:

Permitted uses in a planned equestrian community:

Permitted uses in a Planned Dude Ranch Community.

Permitted uses in a planned health and recreation community:

Density. The maximum number of dwelling units permitted to be constructed in a PRRC shall be one dwelling unit per five acres or .2du/ac.

Public utilities. All PRRC developments shall be served by public utility services, including municipal or municipally authorized private utility sewerage systems and sewage treatment plants, water supply and distribution systems, electric, telephone and CATV services.

Parking for commercial recreational uses.

Landscaped buffers shall be provided between the residential properties and the commercial recreation uses in order to protect the privacy of the residents of the PRRC.

Coverage. All PRRC's shall have a maximum impervious coverage of 25% or less.

Buffers. All commercial recreation and retail uses in a PRRC shall be set back a minimum of 150 feet from all off tract property lines.

Height. The Land Use Board may permit a building height of up to 40 feet if there is a finding that the additional building height contributes to a distinctive architectural character which furthers the intent of the PRRC use.

All of the land not improved and not utilized for residential lots or commercial recreational use in a PRRC shall be designated as common open space. All PRRC uses are required to maintain a minimum of 70% in open space or recreation area.

All property owners in the development shall have the right to use the common open space and any recreational facilities located on the site.

All open space and all common elements in the development shall be deeded to a homeowners' association established to own and maintain the common elements as provided at N.J.S.A. 40:55D-43. The homeowners' association documents shall be submitted to the Municipal Attorney prior to final approval of the PRRC.

If a commercial recreation facility is discontinued for whatever reason, the minimum amount of open space required to meet duster development requirements shall be deeded back to the homeowners in the planned recreational residential development at a nominal cost. Any open space acreage above the minimum amount which must be set aside to meet the open space requirements of a cluster development can be retained by the owner of the commercial facility if this use ceases to exist. This open space can then be used for other activities permitted in the zone only after a public hearing and approval of an application by the Land Use Board. In its evaluation of the reuse of any open space retained by the owner of the commercial facility, the Board should be guided by the intent of the R-7 District and the purpose of the planned residential development conditional use which is preservation of natural features and resources and creation of an open space setting compatible with a rural residential lifestyle and a fitting of the intensity of development within the carrying capacity limitations of the land.

The applicant should be required to submit plans in accordance with the procedures in Chapter 14, Site Plan Review.

The applicant for a planned golf course country club development shall be required to prove that sufficient water is available, even during periods of drought, for irrigation of the golf course turf A study shall be undertaken and the report prepared by a certified hydrogeologist on the availability of water for irrigation. The report shall list the sources of water supply proposed to be used, and the study shall include a comparison of the amount of water needed for irrigation to the amount of water currently available. If groundwater is to be pumped for irrigation purposes, the impacts on wells on adjacent properties during periods of normal rainfall as well as during periods of drought shall be documented and included in the hydrogeologic report. The report shall be prepared in accordance with the guidelines described in the New Jersey Geological Survey Report GSR-29.

The applicant shall also provide an economic study on the maintenance and operation costs involved in the commercial recreation facilities in a PRRC in relation to the number of members and the estimated fees required to sustain such a facility.
