First, the need for age-restricted housing in the Township and the region is a pressing concern. More than 70% of the population growth in the region for the next 20 years is projected to occur in the group over age 55, for which this housing is intended. New construction designed to meet the physical needs of older citizens will enable our society to better serve these needs, and permit the recycling of the existing housing stock that was designed for the needs of young families to serve that need.

Second, the implementation of this zoning district is an integral part of the Township's efforts to acquire and preserve large areas of open space and important historical resources.

Third, the implementation of the PMARC District arises from the settlement of long-standing litigation which has been a drain on public resources and energies which will come to a halt.

Such open space and community facilities must be owned, operated and maintained by an association registered with and approved by the Department of Community Affairs.

Buffers and setbacks. A buffer of a minimum width of 25 feet shall be provided along any tract boundary, except where such boundary abuts publicly owned lands or lands to be dedicated as public or private open space, in which instance the required buffer shall be not less than 10 feet in depth. In addition, no homes may be located within 100 feet of Canfield Avenue. Buffers shall be provided in accordance with § 310-158 of this chapter, except the applicant may provide that up to 10 feet of the inside of any buffer may be lawn area and/or shrubs; and where such boundary abuts publicly owned lands or lands to be dedicated as public or private open space, the entire buffer may be planted as lawn area. The buffer requirement is not to be construed in addition to the setback requirement.

Setbacks applicable to residential buildings:

Open space and recreational requirements.

Additional architectural requirements.

Due to the significant dedication of lands intended to provide large open space areas, recreation potential for the Township, and preservation of historic resources, the development area of the application is exempt from further review related to the presence or absence of historic or cultural resources.

The development is exempt from any requirement for the provision on on-site price-restricted dwellings (Mount Laurel housing) and any growth share obligations, except that the development is subject to a maximum one-percent development fee established by ordinance generally applicable throughout the municipality and approved by the NJ Council on Affordable Housing that is in place prior to the grant of final approval for the development or any portion thereof.

Development on or near slopes will be subject to review for proper slope stabilization, stormwater management concerns and compliance with RSIS for streets and sidewalks and is not subject to further review or limitations on disturbance as may elsewhere be required by any other municipal ordinance.

No off-tract infrastructure requirements may be assessed or assigned to the development for any improvements not directly related to the provision of public water service.
