For the purposes of this chapter, the following terms shall
have the meanings indicated:
An area of a minimum contiguous or noncontiguous size, as
specified by ordinance, to be developed according to a plan as a single
entity containing one or more structures with appurtenant common areas
to accommodate commercial or office uses, or both, and any residential
and other uses incidental to the predominant use as may be permitted
by ordinance.
Planned unit development, planned unit residential development,
residential cluster, planned commercial development or planned industrial
development, all of which shall be collectively referred to in this
chapter as "planned development." Any planned development as defined
herein shall be subject to the requirements of this chapter.
An area of a minimum contiguous or noncontiguous size, as
specified by ordinance, to be developed according to a plan as a single
entity containing one or more structures with appurtenant common areas
to accommodate industrial uses and any other uses incidental to the
predominant use as may be permitted by ordinance.
An area with a specified minimum contiguous or noncontiguous
acreage of 10 acres or more to be developed as a single entity according
to a plan, containing one or more residential clusters or planned
unit residential developments and one or more public, quasi-public,
commercial or industrial areas in such ranges of ratios of nonresidential
uses to residential uses as shall be specified in the zoning ordinance.[1]
An area with a specified minimum contiguous or noncontiguous
acreage of five acres or more to be developed as a single entity according
to a plan containing one or more residential clusters, which may include
appropriate commercial, public or quasi-public uses, all primarily
for the benefit of the residential development.
A contiguous or noncontiguous area to be developed as a single
entity according to a plan containing residential housing units which
have a common or public open space area as an appurtenance.
A.
The developer of a planned development, as defined herein, shall
be required to dedicate and improve parkland. Any lands proposed to
be dedicated shall be subject to acceptance by the Township Council
as to location, size and improvements. However, at a minimum, 75%
of the acreage to be dedicated shall be developed for active recreation
purposes.
B.
The acreage dedication and the improvement contribution equivalent
shall be calculated by utilizing the National Recreation and Park
Association standard of eight acres of developed parkland per 1,000
population. This standard results in a requirement of 0.008 acre per
person. The acreage to be dedicated shall be determined by multiplying
the number of units in the development by the per-person household
multipliers contained herein and by multiplying the resulting project
population by the acreage standard of 0.008 per person.
If the required dedication acreage of a planned development,
as defined herein, is calculated to be 10 acres or more, 50% of the
calculated acreage must be improved and dedicated to the Township.
The acreage required to be improved and dedicated shall be in parcels
which are a minimum of five acres in size.
The following population multipliers shall be applied to the
acreage requirements by residential unit type, as follows:
All planned developments which have not received site plan or
final subdivision approval prior to the effective date of this chapter
shall be subject to the requirements of this chapter.
