To promote pedestrian activity and passive recreational opportunity, and to provide a centralized space for public gathering, a "towne square" design feature shall be incorporated into the central area of Mixed-use village. The towne square feature shall have a minimum area of 20,000 square feet. A portion of the towne square design feature shall include an impervious pedestrian plaza area for public use. The design of the towne square feature may incorporate a visual focus for the Mixed-use village development, such as a public fountain/pond structure or artistic feature (statue, sculpture, gazebo, etc.). The location, dimensions, and composition of the pedestrian plaza portion of the towne square shall be subject to the approval of the Township Planning Board.

Pedestrian/bikeway connections to the towne square and all plaza/open space area(s) shall be provided throughout the mixed-use development. Design elements such as uniform materials, patterns and textures in roadway pavement and sidewalks, bollards, sitting areas and landscape ground cover and landscape ornamental trees and shrubs shall be incorporated into the design of the towne square, and shall be continued throughout the retail/commercial and mixed-use portions of the redevelopment, as appropriate. The towne square feature shall be considered a common element within the redevelopment, which may be dedicated to the Township as public open space.
