The following uses are permitted in the R-1A District:
C.
A townhouse complex, as defined in § 370-3 and subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth:
(1)
It is the intention of this subsection to permit the development
of townhouse complexes as previously defined with the following additional
characteristics:
(a)
Varied designs, architectural modes and setbacks for the purpose
of avoiding developments resembling what have been customarily referred
to as "row houses";
(b)
Development on a nonrental basis by the original developer so
that each individual townhouse dwelling when initially built is owner
occupied; and
(c)
Common tracts or facilities for the benefit of the unit owners
and their families, and which may be made available to other residents
of the Township, which tracts and/or facilities shall be owned and
maintained by either the developer or the unit owners.
(2)
All townhouse complexes shall meet and comply with the following
requirements:
(a)
There shall be no more than eight townhouse dwelling units per
gross acre of land.
(b)
A townhouse dwelling structure shall consist of no more than
six townhouse dwelling units, except where either the front building
wall is curvilinear or changes direction or where 75% of the units
have variations in front setback, in which case no more than 10 units
may be located in one structure. One household supply store/restaurant
combination with an enclosed building area not to exceed 2,000 square
feet may be constructed in the R-1A Zone to serve a townhouse development
of 500 or more units in a location to be approved by the Planning
Board and operated subject to the further conditions set forth below:
[1]
Design of all structures and landscaping to be in a style compatible
with the townhouse development.
[2]
One off-street parking space to be provided for every 100 square
feet of gross floor area or major fraction thereof devoted to self-service
food sales, plus one parking space to every four seats for customers,
plus one parking space to every two employees.
[3]
Uses permitted include the sale of household necessities, groceries
and other foodstuffs, and a restaurant for the sale of sandwiches,
beverages, and confectionery, indoors and out.
[4]
The front yard setback for the enclosed building shall be a
minimum of 30 feet. Outdoor table service areas may be located in
any yard; however, such areas must be screened from public sidewalks
by a hedge or ornamental fence at least two feet in height and may
be located in a front yard area, subject to a minimum setback of 10
feet.
[5]
Trash and garbage must be stored outdoors.
[6]
The above-described facility may only be constructed on land
owned by a nonprofit association established for the purpose of maintaining
parks, playgrounds and recreation facilities but may be operated by
the designate of such an association.
(c)
Each townhouse complex shall contain at least 10 acres.
(d)
No building in any townhouse complex shall exceed 35 feet in
height.

None of the required gross habitable floor area in any townhouse
dwelling unit shall be located within any cellar or basement.

space. Where garages are provided, the remaining required parking
spaces may be provided in off-street lots, in the driveway area between
a garage and sidewalk or curb if no sidewalk is to be constructed,
or as parallel on-street parking. Wherever any of the parking requirement
is provided as on-street parking, each such space shall be counted
as only 1/4 space in determining the compliance with this standard,
and the layout and width of proposed streets shall reflect the intention
of utilizing on-street parking. In any event, no parking space shall
be more than 150 feet from the unit it is intended to serve. This
distance shall be measured from the front door of the unit along the
route reasonably expected to be used by the occupant of the unit.
