[Added 12-16-2009 by Ord. No. 31-2009]
A. Purpose.
(1)
The purpose of the Active Senior Housing Cluster Overlay District
is to provide for small lot residential development in agricultural,
forestry, and rural residential districts in a manner which maintains
rural character, maintains and conserves larger remainder parcels,
protects and/or enhances sensitive environmental and wildlife habitat
areas, and minimizes impacts to necessary public services. The Active
Senior Housing Cluster Overlay District is intended to help maintain
resource lands and rural character by protecting, preserving and conserving
existing resource lands, rural landscapes, and viewsheds. These goals
are achieved by allowing the placement of homes on a small portion
of the property, while maintaining the majority of the site in a remainder
parcel which constitutes resource land or open space. These regulations
are consistent with, and are designed to implement, the goals and
policies established in the Pemberton Township Master Plan (July 2009),
Burlington County's Growth and Preservation Plan (2008), and Agriculture
in Burlington County Strategies for Farm Viability (December 2004)
as they relate to the protection of resource lands, the conservation
of open spaces, and the maintenance of rural character.
(2)
The intent of this zoning district is to create an energy efficient
active senior community that provides the recreational amenities demanded
by senior adults such as exercise trails with fitness stations, swimming,
tennis courts, etc. The objective of this zone is to encourage senior
residents to live, work and play in Pemberton Township while contributing
to the municipality's economy by supporting local merchants, establishing
co-op farming operations, spearheading a farmers' market, and establishing
artisan expositions.
B. Principal uses permitted:
(1)
Active single-family detached senior housing clustering.
(2)
Active senior townhouse clustering.
(3)

Development shall only occur in the receiving area indicated
on Map 1. The remaining portion of the overlay district shall be
preserved.
(4)
Gross density for the entire development:
(a)
Single-family and townhouse: 2.0 dwelling units per acre, not
to exceed 270 units.
(b)
Congregate care/assisted living: 15 units per acre, not to exceed
165 units.
(c)

The area and dimensional regulations as set forth in Table 1,
Active Senior Housing Cluster Overlay District Performance Regulation,
located at the end of this chapter, shall apply.
(6)
A clubhouse with a pool shall be provided on site to provide
residents with a common area for activities, recreation, learning,
exercise, and dining.
(7)
No development shall occur in the Active Senior Housing Cluster
Overlay District without sewer and water service.
(8)
To preserve the aesthetics and rural ambiances along North Pemberton
Road and Arneys Mount Road, a three-hundred-foot landscaped buffer
shall be provided from these roadways to any residential construction.
The buffer is to be 300 feet in depth from the right-of-way line.
(9)
In areas where usable agricultural land exists, residential
development shall be clustered or sited so as to minimize disruption
of existing or possible future agricultural uses.
(10)
A rural cluster subdivision may contain one or more residential
clusters grouped into compact neighborhoods (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: Example of a Cluster Development

|
(11)
To the maximum practicable extent, existing historic rural features
shall be preserved as part of the cluster development. These features
include but are not limited to rock walls, fences, functional and
structurally safe farm buildings, monuments, and landscape features.
(12)
Buildings shall be clustered or sited in the most accessible,
least visually prominent, and most geologically stable portion or
portions of the site.
(13)
Rural clusters shall be limited to locations that minimize the
visual impact from adjacent lands and view corridors. Placing buildings
so that vegetation, depressions in topography, or other natural features
will screen them where they exist shall minimize the prominence of
construction.
(14)
To provide for a healthier and safer environment, a pedestrian
walking network shall be provided throughout the development with
trail/sidewalk connections to the Township's transit stops, Neighborhood
Commercial District, Pemberton Borough, recreation facilities, community
centers, churches, restaurants, and other places of gathering.
E. Architecture design regulations
(1)
Where possible, barns and other agricultural outbuildings in
reasonably good condition, which contribute to the rural character
of the area, should be retained and the structure shall be incorporated
into the site design.
(2)
Architectural design should be compatible with the character
of the neighborhoods on Arneys Mount Road, North Pemberton Road and
Ft. Dix Street. Design compatibility includes complementary building
style, form, size, color, materials, and detailing. At the time of
site plan review, the applicant shall provide architecture elevations
and designs that address the following building attributes and how
they are consistent with the characteristics of the community:
(a)
Size (the relationship of the project to its site);
(b)
Scale (the relationship of the building to those around it);
(c)
Massing (the relationship of the building's various parts to
each other);
(d)
Fenestration (the placement of windows and doors);
(e)
Rhythm (the relationship of fenestration, recesses and projections);
(f)
Setback (in relation to setback of immediate surroundings);
(g)
Materials (their compatibility with the rural characteristics);
and
(h)
Context (the overall relationship of the project to its surroundings).
(3)
Efforts to coordinate the height of buildings and adjacent structures
are encouraged; this is especially applicable where buildings are
located very close to each other. It is often possible to adjust the
height of a wall, cornice, or parapet line to match that of an adjacent
building. Similar design linkages, such as window lines, should be
placed in a pattern that reflects the same elements on neighboring
buildings.
(4)
Townhouses, assisted living and congregate care buildings on
the same site shall be designed to create a cohesive visual relationship
between the buildings.
(5)
Long or continuous wall planes shall be avoided for the clubhouse,
congregate care, assisting living, and independent living facilities,
particularly in high pedestrian activity areas, where the building
should exhibit more detail and elements appropriate for close-range
pedestrian view. Building surfaces over two stories high or 50 feet
in length should be relieved with changes of wall plane that provide
strong shadow or visual interest.
(6)
Driveways and garages shall not be prominent visual features
within the community nor should they be noticeable from county or
Township roads.
(7)
All garbage dumpsters and recycling containers at the clubhouse
and other similar areas devoted to the storage of waste materials
should be screened on three sides of said dumpster or recycling container,
with a minimum six-foot-high fence or a wall constructed of materials
substantially similar in appearance to the building on site. In addition,
said dumpster areas and recycling containers should be gated on the
fourth side with a material that provides opaque screening.
F. Lighting.
(1)
Exterior lighting should be architecturally compatible with
the building style, material, and colors similar to the Township's
ornamental lights in Downtown Browns Mills. Galleria style and shoebox
styles (cutoff fixtures) are preferred over cobra-type light fixtures
and directional floodlights.
G. Parking
(1)
Parking for the single-family houses, townhouses, congregate
care facilities, assisted living, independent living or any other
type of residential housing shall conform to the standards established
in the Residential Site Improvement Standards, New Jersey Administrative
Code, Title 5, Chapter 21, Subchapter 4.
(2)
Clubhouse parking: one parking space per every three residential
units.
(a)
The clubhouse parking lot should be screened from the street
with a mixture of a low-level decorative fence, hedge, berm, and vegetated
buffer. The parking lot is prohibited from facing Arneys Mount Road,
Ft. Dix Street, and North Pemberton Road.
(b)
Landscape islands containing at least two ornamental trees planted
in each landscape island should be provided within parking areas.
One landscape island should be located at the end of each row of parking
spaces in the interior of the parking lot. In addition, one parking
lot landscape island should also be provided for every 140 linear
feet of parking spaces to divide and break up the expanse of parking
areas. Each landscape island should be of sufficient shape and size
so that at least one two-understory tree will fit within the island.
No portion of an island should be less than five feet in width.
(c)
When the parking lot is not being utilized for activities at
the clubhouse, it is encouraged that the space be used for farmers'
markets and craft shows.
H. Design requirements of remainder parcels.
(1)
The cluster development shall result in the establishment of
a remainder parcel comprising a minimum of 50% of the total land area
to be subdivided. The remainder parcel(s) comprising of 50% of the
total land area shall not include the clubhouse, stormwater management
areas, landscaping islands, buffer areas, front yard setbacks, rear
yard setbacks, side yard setbacks, and landscaped parking islands
in the preserved land calculation.
(2)
Any remainder parcel shall be contiguous. Any remainder parcel
shall not be fragmented by public or private road easements unless
no other reasonable alternative exists.
(3)
A minimum of 25% of the remaining contiguous parcels shall be
dedicated for active open space, farmland, or a mixture of farmland
and open space. Active open space shall include an exercise trail
with fitness equipment, grass tennis courts, bocce courts, putting
greens and other activities which have a surface that is highly permeable.
(4)
To retain the rural character, the remainder of non active open
space parcels should contain to the maximum extent possible forested
areas, active agriculture, meadows, pastures, and prominent hillsides
or ridges if they exist.
I. Maintenance of farmland or open space.
(1)
The Planning or Zoning Board may require the creation of a homeowners'
association or other organization for ownership and maintenance of
lands to be preserved for agriculture, forestry, and/or open space
use (i.e., remainder parcels). Lands preserved for agricultural purposes
may be leased or sold for farming purposes provided all lands are
deed restricted and will not inhibit the function of the new community.
J. Resource management plan.
(1)
In cases where land is proposed to remain in farm or forest
(i.e., resource) use, the Planning or Zoning Board shall require a
farm or forest management plan for the remainder parcel to be submitted
and approved prior to approval of the preliminary plat. The management
plan shall describe the nature and intensity of large-scale agricultural
or forestry uses, permitted uses and management of the parcel so that
it maintains its resource or other designated functions. The management
plan shall identify the responsibility for maintaining the remainder
parcel. The plan shall also include any construction activities (trails,
fencing, agricultural buildings) and vegetation clearing that may
occur on site. All subsequent activities must be conducted in conformance
with the approved management plan.
K. Verification:
(1)
Verification that there are adequate utility services and support
facilities for the project.
(2)
Assurance at the time of each sale of a unit or execution of
a lease for a unit that the occupancy of such housing will be limited
to senior citizens, meaning at least one of the occupants must be
55 years of age or older, or as otherwise defined by the Social Security
Act, except that this provision shall not apply to any resident manager
and his or her family residing on the premises.

[Added 12-19-2012 by Ord. No. 17-2012]
(a)
The Planning Board finds that:
[1]
Clustering of the proposed dwellings would be inconsistent with
the minimum environmental standards set forth at N.J.A.C. 7:50-6;
