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.

(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.

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.

be established, as all units of manufactured housing and all buildings
shall adhere to the following minimum requirements, with the exception
of replacement units of manufactured housing, which are to go onto
the same site and same location of an existing manufactured home or
trailer. These replacement units need not meet the setback requirements
for private roads, public roads and accessory buildings, provided
that they meet the minimum setback from any other mobile home or portion
thereof, including porches, and the minimum setback to any lot line
or any other building.

A.
Purpose. The New Lisbon Pinelands Village has been
designed to accommodate the existing village and permit limited opportunities

has maintained a residential character since the disappearance of
the railroad. Township officials and village residents agree that
this residential character should continue and that nonresidential
expansion should be limited to the activities of the agricultural
co-op in the village.

A.
Purpose. The purpose of the OP Zone is to provide
a transition between a major commercial development and the R-200
single-family residential zone. The OP Zone allows for a combination
of residential and office uses separately or in combination. The district
regulations for this use are designed to minimize negative impacts
of residential and low-intensity commercial uses on remaining residentially
zoned properties. This area is not intended for new retail expansion,
but rather to provide a transition between uses of very different
intensity and to recognize changing traffic patterns.

G.
General requirements.
(1)
At least the first 25 feet adjacent to any street
line shall not be used for parking but shall be planted and maintained
in lawn area, ground cover or landscaped with evergreen shrubbery
and separated from the parking area by poured concrete or Belgian
block curbing.

A.
Purpose. The purpose of these regulations is to permit
only that development of flood-prone areas which is appropriate in
light of the probability of flood damage and the need to reduce flood
losses, which represents an acceptable social and economic use of
the land in relation to the hazards involved and which does not increase
the danger to human life. This zone is created in recognition of the
increased threat, severity and frequency of floods expected to result
from continued development. It is intended to retain areas adjacent
to streams and rivers free from structures and other obstructions
to the water flow during periodic rises in the water level. This district
is intended to protect floodplains so that floodwaters may have a
natural course to follow; that the watercourse is not constricted
or altered in a manner that will increase water velocities or create
a dam; that the water level may rise without danger to persons or
property; that the water level may rise and cover larger land surfaces
for the purposes of greater water percolation and recharging of the
underground water supply; and that a parklike network is developed
throughout the Township along these watercourses.

Related definitions. As used in this section, the
following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
A natural depression of perceptible extent, with a definite
bed and banks to confine and conduct flowing water either continuously
or periodically.
The relative size or magnitude of a flood, expressed as a
design discharge in cubic feet per second, which is developed from
hydrologic criteria, represents a major flood of reasonable expectancy,
reflects both flood experience and flood potential and is the basis
of the delineation of the floodway and the flood hazard area and of
the water surface elevations thereof.
The elevations of the water surface of the floodway design
flood and the flood hazard area design flood.
The floodway and additional portions of the floodplain that
are subject to flood flow at lesser depths and lower velocities than
the floodway and that are inundated by the flood hazard area design
flood.
The relatively flat terrain adjoining a water channel which
has been or may be hereafter covered by floodwater of the channel.
The channel and portions of the adjacent floodplain that
carry the greater part of flood flow at greater depths and velocities
than do the other parts of the floodplain, that constitute the minimum
area required for the passage of flood flows without aggravating flood
conditions upstream and downstream, and that are necessary to preserve
the natural regimen of the stream for the reasonable passage of the
floodway design flood.
C.
Map of floodway and flood hazard area. The following
maps (and other sources of information if deemed appropriate) shall
be used to specify floodway and flood hazard areas for channels in
the Township:
D.
Permitted uses.
(1)
Floodway. In the floodway, no building or structure
shall be permitted, nor shall any material be stored, nor shall any
fill be placed, nor shall the elevation of the land be substantially
changed. The following uses are permitted:
(2)
Flood hazard area. In the flood hazard area, no building
or structure shall be permitted if the elevation of any floor of such
structure, including basement, shall be less than one foot above the
flood hazard area design flood profile. The following uses are permitted:
(a)
Parks, playgrounds and conservation areas.
(b)
Growing and harvesting of crops.
(c)
Unpaved parking areas.
(d)
Underground utilities.
(e)
