Front yards. The front yard shall be defined as that portion of the property, which has the greatest length abutting a public street. No accessory structure or parking area shall be located in the front yard of the lot. In an adaptive reuse project, the front yard shall be that portion of the property which faces the waterway, and no setback(s) shall be required for an adaptive reuse structure(s). However, in the event penthouse structures are added to existing buildings and the existing buildings are at least 65 feet in depth from exterior wall to exterior wall, each penthouse level shall have a front yard setback of at least three feet for each level. In the event an adaptive reuse building is less than 65 feet in depth, there shall be one minimum three-foot setback at the first penthouse level.

Rear yards. The rear yards shall be defined as that portion of the property opposite the longest dimension abutting a public street. In an adaptive reuse project, the rear yard shall be that portion of the property which is furthest away from the waterway, and no rear yard setback(s) shall be required for an adaptive reuse structure(s). However, in the event penthouse structures are added to existing buildings and the existing buildings are at least 65 feet in depth from exterior wall to exterior wall, each penthouse level shall have a rear yard setback of at least three feet for each level. In the event an adaptive reuse building is less than 65 feet in depth, there shall be one minimum three-foot setback at the first penthouse level.

Side yards. No newly constructed residential structures shall be nearer to a side yard property line than 150 feet; however, in an adaptive reuse project, both residential and garage structures may abut the property line. Penthouses built on existing buildings shall have no side yard setback. New garage structures constructed in the side yard may come no closer to the side yard than existing foundations.

Interior drives. No structure(s) shall be closer to an interior drive than 18 feet.

The minimum distance between residential structures facing each other shall be no less than three times the height of such structure. In the event the project is an adaptive reuse project, then the minimum distance between structures shall be 10% of the height of the existing structures, including any additional stories built in accordance with § 280-110.

The minimum distance between residential structures located end to end shall be no less than 1 1/2 times the height of such structures. In the event the project is an adaptive reuse project, the minimum distance between structures located end to end shall be 10% of the height of the existing structures, including any additions made, or new residential structures built, in accordance with § 280-110 of this article.

In new structures, no more than 16 dwelling units shall be contained in any one new continuous structure, and there shall be not more than 12 dwelling units in any unbroken building line. A setback of not less than six feet shall be deemed a satisfactory break in the building line. Where topography permits, a break in the roofline in lieu of or in addition to the above-mentioned setback shall be permitted as required by the Planning Board in reviewing the site plan.

Subsection A above shall not apply to an adaptive reuse project. In the event the adaptive reuse project contains a new residential structure(s), the new residential structure(s) shall be consistent in height, length and bulk with the existing structures that are being adapted to residential use.

Access drives shall have a minimum right-of-way width of 36 feet and shall be paved to a width of 24 feet; provided, however, that in an adaptive reuse project where the facade(s) of existing structure(s) is within 150 feet of the property line, the right-of-way shall be curbed and the paving shall be constructed in such a manner to minimize hazard to pedestrians, promote vehicle safety and permit access by fire and other emergency vehicles, and in no event shall be less than 18 feet wide.

Interior roads are defined as those roads, which service the project beyond the limit line of the access drive(s). Interior roads shall have a right-of-way width of 35 feet and shall be paved to a width of 24 feet; provided, however, that in an adaptive reuse project where the facade(s) of existing structure(s) is within 150 feet of the property line, the minimum right-of-way requirement shall be 18 feet and curbed.

Sidewalks of a minimum width of four feet shall be constructed along all interior roads, access drives and to and from parking areas and structures; a two-foot grass area shall be provided between the sidewalk and interior roads and sidewalks and access drives; provided, however, that in an adaptive reuse project where the facade(s) of the existing structure(s) is within 150 feet of the property line, the minimum sidewalk and grass area requirements shall not apply.

There shall be no dwelling units in the basement or above the second story of any multiple-dwelling structure; provided, however, that if the project is an adaptive reuse project, additional stories may be constructed in accordance with § 280-110. For the purpose of this section, a basement unit is defined as a unit which has all four sides below grade. Garages may not be converted into residential dwelling units utilizing the definition contained in this article.

No more than 65% of the total number of dwelling units shall be two-bedroom units. No less than 30% of the dwelling units shall be one-bedroom units. No less than 5% of the total number of dwelling units shall be studio apartment units. No dwelling units shall have more than two bedrooms.

In an adaptive reuse project, the provisions of Subsection B shall be applicable.

The development shall provide spaces as required in RSIS Table 4.4 in enclosed garages or paved parking areas per each dwelling unit. All parking areas shall be constructed in accordance with the Township road specifications in existence on the date of site plan approval. Parking spaces shall be nine feet by 18 feet per RSIS and shall be clearly marked. Aisle widths shall be 22 feet. All parking areas shall be adequately drained, lighted and curbed. No parking shall be permitted in any front yard or front court.

In an adaptive reuse project where the permitted density is 24.67 dwelling units per acre, the development shall provide two spaces in enclosed garages or paved parking areas per each dwelling unit. All parking areas shall be constructed in accordance with the Township road specifications in existence on the date of site plan approval. Parking spaces shall be nine feet by 18 feet and shall be clearly marked. Aisle widths shall be at least 22 feet. All parking areas shall be adequately drained, lighted and curbed. No parking shall be permitted in any front yard or front court.

Every garage structure(s) shall have a floor area of no less than 240 square feet, and such garage may be built into the apartment structure or separately constructed as hereinafter provided.

No garage or other accessory building shall be placed nearer to a side or rear property line than 10 feet, except that in the case where apartment developments adjoin each other, garages may be built back-to-back along the common property line. In an adaptive reuse project where the facade(s) of an existing structure(s) is within 150 feet of the property line, garages for the adaptive reuse units and new units may be built on the property line. New garage structures built on or adjacent to existing foundation walls which are located on a property line shall be set back 50 feet from the adjacent property line where both property lines abut a major traffic intersection.

Each group of attached garages shall have a joint capacity of not more than 10 automobiles arranged in a row, except that in the case where garage buildings are built back-to-back as permitted in Subsection B above, 20 automobiles may be housed therein. There shall be a minimum distance of 10 feet between garage structures. Where a garage is permitted to be constructed in accordance with § 280-117B, the garage may have a capacity necessary to support the entire project-parking requirement. Where a garage is constructed in accordance with § 280-117, there shall be no minimum space required between garages or limit as to garage capacity in any single garage unit, so long as the Fire Department approves such garage as to fire safety.

Garages and other accessory buildings shall be no more than one story high. The architectural design and the materials used shall conform to the design and building materials used in the construction of the multiple-family structures; provided, however, that in the event the project is an adaptive reuse project, the height of such garages shall not exceed 24 feet, and the construction of the garages shall be compatible with the materials used in the existing structure(s) that are adapted and any new construction that is part of the project. No part of any garage or other accessory building shall be used for living purposes.
