A. Purpose. The purpose of the Municipal Center Overlay District is
to provide a framework for the continued development of mutually supportive
facilities to serve the Evesham Township community in the vicinity
of the existing municipal complex. The properties within the Municipal
Center Overlay should be developed with consideration for the overlay
zone as a whole, in order to promote the evolution of the area as
an interconnected and complimentary activity node. The Municipal Center
Overlay is intended to enhance opportunities for complimentary recreational
and community facilities, semipublic, and neighborhood commercial
and service uses – in order to increase efficiency, maximize
value, and enhance the quality of experience for the Township's residents,
employees and visitors. The Municipal Center Overlay District retains
the underlying base zoning, but provides opportunities for alternative
uses in specific areas when specific standards are met and the design
guidelines are adhered to.
B. Base zoning. Unless otherwise specified, the base zoning district
standards apply to all properties within the Municipal Center Overlay.
Properties within the Municipal Center Overlay are within the RG-2,
INS and OP Zoning Districts.
C. Overall design within the Municipal Center Overlay.
(1)
Sidewalks are required along all streets, along building frontages
and along access driveways. Sidewalks must also be designed to provide
logical connection points with adjacent properties and site plans
must demonstrate how the site fits into the overall Municipal Center
context.
(2)
Crosswalks at intersections and at points where pedestrian traffic
is expected must be constructed with textured pavement.
(3)
Driveways must be designed to interconnect with, or provide
the potential to connect with adjacent properties in order to promote
connectivity, limit the number of curb cuts along county roads, encourage
people to combine vehicle trips, provide a safe and efficient internal
circulation plan, and relieve congestion on the roadways.
(4)
Decorative, pedestrian scaled light standards a maximum of 15
feet in height should be utilized within parking areas and along access
drives consistent with the Township's preferred design.
(5)
Bicycle racks must be incorporated into site plans in a safe
and convenient location.
(6)
Outdoor seating areas and pavilions should be incorporated into
site design in order to encourage informal interaction and to invite
people to stay at the municipal center between activities.
(7)
Coordinated way-finding signage is recommended to direct visitors
to their destination.
(8)
Measures to enhance sustainability should be considered in planning
each site; such as using water and energy efficiently, using sustainable
materials, installing solar panels to generate power, reducing waste,
minimizing impacts on the natural environment, and ensuring a healthy
indoor environment.
(9)
Signs within the Municipal Center Overlay shall conform to the requirements of §
160-75, in addition to the following (the requirements below supersede when there is a conflict.):

[Added 5-17-2011 by Ord. No. 15-6-2011]
A. Purpose. The MDR overlay is intended to provide flexibility for residential
development, facilitate the production of affordable housing, and
promote creative subdivision design on tracts a minimum of 10 acres
in size that is generally consistent with the surrounding development
patterns, while requiring clustering/conservation design in order
to respond to the natural features of land and to provide common open
space in areas where public water and sewer service are available.
The base zoning may be applied, or as an alternative a land owner/developer
may utilize the MDR overlay option.
B. Principal permitted uses.
(1)
Single-family dwellings using clustering/conservation design in accordance with the requirements of this section and §
160-19.
(2)
Townhouse dwellings using clustering/conservation design in accordance with the requirements of this section and §
160-19.
(3)
Condominium or apartment flats (separated by the ceiling and floor) each with a separate entrance from the outside, for the affordable units required by Subsection
E(4) only, and using clustering/conservation design in accordance with the requirements of this section and §

(4)
Affordable housing requirement.
[Amended 3-17-2015 by Ord. No. 3-3-2015]
(a)
Development consisting solely of single-family detached homes shall not require the on-site production of affordable housing with a mandatory set-aside but shall require the payment of affordable housing development fees as required by Township Code §
161-3.
(b)
Development consisting solely of attached/townhouse units. Ten
percent of all attached/townhouse units constructed pursuant to the
MDR Overlay standards shall be set-aside and reserved for low- and
moderate-income households. In recognition of the challenges associated
with creating an inclusionary development that primarily consists
of market rate townhouses, the permitted density is increased by 5%
to enable on-site incorporation of the affordable housing requirement.
The affordable housing obligation shall be based on the proposed number
of housing units permitted before applying the increase in density.
Example: The base permitted density for townhouses is 2.3 units/acre.
For a thirty-acre site, a maximum of 69 units are permitted. The ten-percent
affordable housing set-aside is 6.9 (7) units. In support of the on-site
provision of the affordable units, the total density may be increased
to 2.42 units per acre (a five-percent increase). When a fraction
of an affordable unit of 0.5 or less is required, the obligation shall
be rounded down. When a fraction of an affordable unit of 0.6 or more
is required, the obligation shall be rounded up. All affordable units
constructed on site shall strictly conform with COAH's rules and the
requirements of the Township's Fair Share Plan ordinances, including,
but not limited to, phasing, bedroom mix, 50-50 split, affirmative
marketing, controls on affordability, etc.
(c)
In developments containing a mix of both single-family detached housing which does not require the on-site production of affordable housing and attached multifamily housing (townhouses, condominiums or apartment flats) which requires on-site affordable housing production, the area of the multifamily component shall be used in calculating density and the affordable housing set-aside pursuant to §
160-63.1E(4) of the Code. Development fees as required by §
161-3 of the Code shall be paid for the homes constructed in the single-family detached component of the project.
(d)
The on-site production of affordable housing is required in
projects proposing multifamily housing, and the Township shall not
accept a payment in lieu thereof.
F. Townhouse performance requirements.
(1)
The front facades of townhouses must be staggered a minimum
of two feet so that no more than two units in a row are on the same
linear plane.
(2)
Each townhouse unit must have a garage with sufficient space
for a vehicle and for storage of trash and recycling containers and
other incidental personal items such as bicycles.
(3)
Variations in rooflines, heights, projections, and exterior
building materials shall be incorporated to distinguish the residential
units.
(4)
Rear yard decks may encroach into the required rear yard by
a maximum of 10 feet. For example, if the required rear yard is 25
feet, then an attached deck may be set back a minimum of 15 feet.
(5)
Rear yard fencing must be consistent in style and color among
all residential units in a townhouse development.
(6)
Where the side of a residential unit faces a street, such as
an end unit on a curve or a corner, the side elevation must have architectural
details similar to the front elevation to respond to the street and
add character to the development. Such facade treatments may include
bay windows, a wrap-around porch, chimneys, building materials such
as brick or stone.
(7)
For townhouses, in addition to RSIS parking requirements for
the residential units, additional guest parking is required to accommodate
a minimum of 0.33 vehicle per residential unit. The shared parking
may be on street or in a common parking lot area.
G. Condominium or apartment flat performance requirements.
[Added 3-17-2015 by Ord.
No. 3-3-2015]
(1)
The affordable units shall be designed to be integrated with and blend into the overall development. The units must follow the guidelines in §
160-63.1F above to the extent practicable.
(2)
The affordable units are not required to have a garage. Parking
in accordance with RSIS requirements shall be provided in a common
parking lot area.
(3)
A fenced or masonry enclosure area shall be provided for storage
of trash and recycling containers for the affordable units. The owners
or tenants of the units will be required to bring trash and recycling
containers curbside on collection day in the same manner as the remainder
of the development.

[Added 7-13-2010 by Ord. No. 16-7-2010]
A. Purpose. The purpose of the Evesham Crossroads Overlay district is
to provide a framework for the development and redevelopment of primarily
commercial properties in the vicinity of the Evesham Crossroads at
the intersection of State Highway Routes 70 and 73 consistent with
the 2010 Master Plan recommendations and the Evesham 2020 Vision Plan.
The NJDOT's replacement of the Marlton Circle with an intersection,
overpass, and on and off ramps will alter the form and function of
this centrally located and heavily travelled area in Evesham. The
Evesham Crossroads Overlay is intended to encourage the transformation
of underutilized and outdated commercial properties along the Route
70 and Route 73 corridors, to support development and redevelopment
that makes efficient use of land and resources, that promotes development
that integrates the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists,
that creates a viable streetscape and carries a unified design theme,
and that responds to the adjacent properties. It is also the intent
of the Evesham Crossroads Overlay to establish landmark buildings
and civic art at the immediate crossroads of Routes 70 and 73. The
photographs and illustrations in the Evesham 2020 Vision Plan should
be utilized for reference to convey the Township's design intentions
and to guide development within the Evesham Crossroads Overlay district.
B. Base zoning. The base zoning district standards shall continue to
apply to all existing development within the Evesham Crossroads Overlay.

H(1), the standards shall be relaxed by the Planning Board to achieve the purposes of the redevelopment plan in the following fashion:
(a)
Where the conditions rendered nonconforming are the result of
existing structures and/or existing improvements, the relief shall
be treated as a design waiver.
(b)
Where the nonconforming conditions are the result of proposed
new development on the affected lot, a variance is still required.
G. Overall design within the Evesham Crossroads Overlay. Developers
and site designers should refer to the Evesham 2020 Vision Plan for
