The purposes of the Mixed Residential-2 Districts are to provide for moderate density development in certain areas in order to permit a mix of dwelling types, to ensure a balanced community, to provide for open space, and to protect the character of existing neighborhoods. These areas have been established specifically to recognize the existence of the Saw Mill Valley residential development and areas previously zoned R-5 under the Zoning Ordinance of 1969.

Within the Mixed Residential-2 Districts, a building may be erected, altered or used, and a lot or premises may be used only when in conformance with the conditions of an approved master plan on file with the Township and the specific use, area, dimensional and design regulations of this district, and no other.

Single-family detached dwelling.

Twin or duplex dwelling.

Multiplex with a maximum of four units per building.

Attached single-family dwelling (townhouse).

Garden apartment.

Accessory structure on the same lot and customarily incidental to the above permitted uses.

Common open space for active and passive noncommercial park and recreation purposes.

Municipal building.

No-impact home-based businesses in accordance with the standards set forth in § 230-23.

Minimum dimensions or requirements for yard requirements, lot width, lot area, common open space and parking setbacks established for each use in each development plan on file and approved by the Township shall not be reduced; and maximum ratios for building coverage and impervious surfaces shall not be increased.

In the event specific standards for the above requirements are not established, then the as-built condition on each lot shall be controlling.

The overall density within the Mixed Residential District shall not exceed six dwelling units per acre of developable area and in no event shall exceed the density established for each residential neighborhood on the approved master plan.
