Piscataway City Zoning Code

§ 21-32.5

Additional Development Regulations.

[Ord. No. 2017-15]
a. 
Residential uses permitted within the development area include single family detached dwellings, townhomes, graduate student and college housing, and multi-family apartments over ground floor commercial and/or office use (mixed-use building). Single family detached dwellings — on 75' x 100' lots - shall be provided in a separate area on the southwest portion of the development, adjacent to the existing single family neighborhood located in vicinity of Hillside Avenue and Custer Street, and may also be provided in the Mixed-use village portion of the development.
b. 
Row style townhome development may be provided within the Mixed-use village, and also within distinctly separate portion(s) of the development area, appropriately buffered from adjacent lower density residential use and/or non-residential use. Townhomes in the Mixed-use village may be attached row style townhomes or "stacked" townhome units in residential buildings or mixed-use buildings.
c. 
Multi-family flat dwellings (apartments and/or condominium units) and college/graduate student units may be provided above ground floor commercial and/or office use within the Mixed-use village portion of the redevelopment.
d. 
The base residential density of the planned development shall be eight units per acre. The set-aside associated with the base density is 15%. In the event the property qualifies for the residential enhanced bonus density of 12 units per acre pursuant to the provisions of subsection 21-32.1a, then the following affordable housing units shall be constructed for those residential units in excess of eight units per acre: For the first 100 bonus density units, there shall be an affordable housing set aside of 15% of those residential units (15 affordable units); for the second 100 bonus density units there shall be an affordable housing set aside of 10% of those residential units (10 affordable units); and for the final 100 bonus density units there shall be an affordable set-aside of 5% of those residential units (five affordable units). All affordable units shall meet all requirements in the Township's Affordable Housing Ordinance.
e. 
The existing 13 story tower building may be utilized notwithstanding any height limitations set forth in this section.
f. 
In order to enhance the orientation of land uses toward pedestrian shopping and circulation within a village-style environment, mixed-use development within the mixed-use village portion of the development area is encouraged by permitting stores, shops, personal service establishments and commercial offices on the ground floor of buildings, and promoting the use of upper floors for business offices or residential dwelling units (apartments/condominiums/college student housing). Commercial retail/service establishments and shops shall only be permitted on the ground floor of any non-residential or mixed-use building, but may be on an upper floor of a hotel building.
