A developer may construct a planned residential
development in stages if the following criteria are met:
A. The application for tentative approval covers the
entire planned residential development and shows the location and
approximate time of construction for each stage, in addition to other
information required by this article.
B. At least 15% of the dwelling units in the plan given
tentative approval are included in the first stage.
C. At least 33% of the dwelling units in any stage are
rented or sold before any commercial development shown in that stage
shall be completed.
D. The second and subsequent stages are completed consistent
with the tentatively approved plan and are of such size and location
that they constitute economically sound units of development. In no
event shall such stages contain less than 15% of the dwelling units
receiving tentative approval.
E. Gross residential density may be varied from stage
to stage; provided, however, that final approval shall not be given
to any stage if the gross residential density by type of dwelling
of the area which includes stages already finally approved and the
stage for which final approval is being sought exceeds by more than
10% the gross residential density for each type of dwelling unit allowed
for the entire planned residential development in the tentatively
approved plan. Where it is necessary to allocate open space to early
stages to avoid exceeding maximum gross residential densities, the
developer may be required to grant an open space easement or covenant
to the Township specifying the amount and, if necessary, the location
of open space.
