In any planned development, there shall be provided, at the time any building or structure is erected or enlarged or increased in capacity, off-street parking spaces, constructed and paved, for automobiles and other motor vehicles in accordance with the requirements set forth herein and in conformity with the off-street parking standards set forth in Article
LIX, §
142-268 et seq., of this chapter.
Each off-street parking space shall have an
area of not less than 180 square feet, exclusive of access drives
or aisles, and shall measure nine feet in width by 20 feet in length
and shall be of usable shape and condition, provided that the Joint
Planning Board shall have the authority to permit parking spaces of
lesser size if the equivalent area is devoted to planting islands
or similar landscaping improvements.
The number of off-street parking spaces required
shall be not fewer than two spaces per dwelling unit, except that
one space shall be required for senior citizen units, provided that
there is sufficient open space shown on the site for one additional
parking space for such senior citizen unit in the event that it no
longer continues to be used as such. Units at any time containing
more than two bedrooms shall be provided with additional parking at
a ratio of one space for each additional bedroom over two.
Exceptions to the number of required off-street
parking spaces may be made by the Joint Planning Board on site plan
review to the extent of an increase or decrease of 25% in the event
that an affirmative recommendation for a modification is made by the
Township Engineer.
A minimum of not less than 15% of the required
off-street parking spaces shall be provided in enclosed structures
or garages.
Outdoor overnight storage or parking of commercial
vehicles shall be prohibited, and the landowner or developer shall
specifically inform occupants of this restriction in writing.
Parking spaces are to be limited to use for
the parking of operable motor vehicles and may not be used for storage
or other purposes, such as the repairing of motor vehicles. The outdoor
parking or storage of boats, campers or trailers is prohibited except
in enclosed garages.
