This zone seeks to accommodate the higher-density housing needs
of the Township. A wide range of housing types are encouraged, with
densities exceeding those permitted elsewhere in the Township. These
zones are located around existing multifamily developments and major
transportation routes. Both public sewer and water facilities are
readily available to these areas. In addition, limited neighborhood
commercial uses are permitted to serve the immediate residents of
the neighborhood and promote pedestrian movement between the residential
and commercial uses.
Permitted uses shall be as follows:

adjoining land zoned for single-family detached dwellings and/or adjoining
public streets.

The grouping is arranged in a manner that is substantially perpendicular
to any adjoining land zoned for single-family detached dwellings and/or
adjoining public streets and also complies with one of the following:
(a)
The grouping is comprised of townhouse units that, in addition to the front yard setback staggering required in Subsection D(1), have varying roof lines of at least 24 inches. No more than two contiguous units shall have identical roof lines that generally parallel the ground along the same horizontal plane.

constructed upon common lands, the following separation distances
shall be provided between each townhouse building/grouping:

shall have 70 feet between faces of the buildings. If the front or
rear faces are obliquely aligned, the above distances may be decreased
by as much as 10 feet at one end if increased by similar or greater
distance at the other end.
(2)
A yard space of 30 feet is required between end walls of buildings
for each two-story building, plus five feet for each additional story.
If the buildings are at right angles to each other, the distance between
the corners of the end walls of the building may be reduced to a minimum
of 20 feet.
(3)
A yard space of 30 feet is required between end walls and front or
rear faces of buildings for each two-story building, plus five feet
for each additional story.
Design standards for multiple-family dwellings shall be as follows:
A.
Minimum lot area. The minimum lot area for a multiple-family dwelling
unit development shall be two acres. Multiple-family dwellings are

following separation distances will be provided between each building:
(1)
Front-to-front, rear-to-rear or front-to-rear parallel buildings
shall have 80 feet between faces of the building for two stories in
height, plus five feet for each additional story. If the front or
rear faces are obliquely aligned, the above distances may be decreased
by as much as 10 feet at one end if increased by similar or greater
distance at the other end.
(2)
A yard space of 30 feet is required between end walls of buildings
for each two-story building, plus five feet for each additional story.
If the buildings are at right angles to each other, the distance between
the corners of the end walls of the building may be reduced to a minimum
of 15 feet.
(3)
A yard space of 30 feet is required between end walls and front or
rear faces of building for each two-story building, plus five feet
for each additional story.
Within each dwelling unit type development, accessory use setbacks
shall be the same as those imposed on principal uses; provided, however,
that no accessory use, except permitted signs, shall be located within
