Vineland City Zoning Code
§ 425-302.1
AA-1 Active Adult Zone standards.
[Added 4-14-2020 by Ord. No. 2020-17]
A.
Purpose. It is the purpose of these zones to establish appropriate locations for small active adult communities, characterized by an allowance for more types of housing at higher density with fewer amenities, and to seek to maximize the compatibility between these communities and the surrounding areas. By permitting this use, the City will expand the housing opportunities available to a growing senior citizen population. It is important that zone requirements and design standards not be sacrificed to allow overdevelopment or improper utilization of properties, as this would negatively impact upon the character of these communities and upon the quality of life of adjoining residential areas. Strict adherence to design standards is deemed very important because these zones contribute significantly to the City's image because of their high visibility.
