In instances where a major subdivision is proposed in the GMS
or GD District for a conventional development on tracts of land at
least 25 acres in area, an applicant may utilize the minimum, maximum
and average residential lot size provisions noted in Subparagraph
[e] hereinbelow, provided that:
|
|
[a]
|
Any lot designated for nonresidential purposes, including detention
basin lots dedicated to the Township or otherwise restricted to permanent
open space use, shall be included in the computation of tract size,
but shall not be included in the calculation of the minimum, maximum
and average lot sizes;
|
|
[b]
|
The minimum lot depth may be reduced to a minimum of 250 feet
for lots less than two acres in size; except for the lot size and
lot depth provisions, all other "Area and Yard Requirements" specified
for the GMS or GD Districts, as the case may be, shall apply;
|
|
[c]
|
Every lot within a subdivision utilizing the minimum, maximum
and average lot size provisions specified herein shall contain an
area equivalent to at least one acre in size which shall be contiguous
"noncritical" acreage appropriately situated for the location and
construction of the detached single-family dwelling and its appurtenances,
including the septic system serving the lot.
|
|
[d]
|
All other requirements of this ordinance governing the development
within the GMS or GD District, as the case may be, shall continue
to apply; and

Vacant lands contained within any commercially operated golf
course established in the GD Growth District in the Pinelands Regional
Growth Area (RGA) in Medford Township prior to the effective date
of this ordinance but not including areas containing fairways and
greens or any other areas or developed lands associated and necessary
for the use of said golf course, may be counted to calculate the maximum
number of residential dwelling units if the lands to be developed
are located within the golf course and the applicant restricts by
deed restriction (1) the entire golf course area for use as a golf
course only except for the lands to be developed, and (2) provides
that ownership of the golf course shall revert to the Township of
Medford with all accessory uses including any clubhouse, pool, tennis
courts or other similar facilities in the event the golf course is
discontinued or abandoned for any reason whether voluntarily or involuntarily
including bankruptcy.
|
|
The applicant shall demonstrate that no liens exist on the record
at the time the deed restriction as required herein is filed on the
record. In no event shall the gross maximum density, including Pineland
Development Credits use, for residential development exceed the permitted
gross density nor shall any other previously deed restricted open
space in the golf course be used in calculating density.
|
|
The Board may approve less than maximum density for said vacant
land if the Board determines that the resulting residential development
density will (a) reduce the size of the existing golf course play
area, (b) adversely interfere with the use and enjoyment of the golf
course, or (c) have an unreasonably adverse impact upon the area in
which the development is proposed to be established.
|
[4]
|
All sheds shall meet the setback standard for accessory structures
unless located to the rear of all walls/parts/features/decks, etc.
of the principal building, i.e., the point on the structure farthest

five feet of any property line. For a corner lot, the reduced setback
standard above will apply to both street frontages, provided however,
that sheds along common property lines shall be placed to the rear
of the front facade of the principal structure on the adjoining lot
or 50 feet from the street on which frontage is shared, whichever
is greater.

but shall not be included in the calculation of the minimum, maximum
and average lot sizes;
|
|
[b]

The minimum lot depth may be reduced to a minimum of 250 feet
for lots less than two acres in size; except for the lot size and

buildings shall be separated by a minimum of 20 feet, provided such
separation is to be used solely for pedestrian circulation. All buildings
shall be separated by a minimum of 50 feet where any part of such
separation is to be used for parking or vehicular circulation. However,
the separation requirements should not be construed to prohibit covered
pedestrian walkways when the roof or covering of such walkway extends
between the buildings.
|
[2]
|
A building shall not be constructed closer than 100 feet from
any street right-of-way line, except that the front yard setback may

|
The minimum buffer shall be 50 feet where the property line
abuts a residential district.
|
[5]
|
In those instances where two adjacent property owners cooperate
to share a common access driveway serving both properties and thereby
eliminate an existing driveway access or do not propose a new access
point to the roadway, then floor area ratio may be increased to 0.275
and the maximum lot coverage may be increased to 70% for both properties.
Further, the maximum lot coverage may be increased an additional 3%
and the maximum floor area ratio also may be increased an additional
0.025 for amenity areas, plazas, and similar design features.

congestion. The regulations are also intended to promote a desirable
visual environment that reflects the historic village character of
the Medford Business Districts.

More than one principal building shall be permitted, provided that
the total floor area ratio and lot coverage maximums specified herein
are not exceeded. All buildings shall be separated by a minimum of
20 feet, provided such separation is to be used solely for pedestrian
circulation. All buildings shall be separated by a minimum of 50 feet
where any part of such separation is to be used for parking or vehicular

to prohibit covered pedestrian walkways when the roof or covering
of such walkway extends between the buildings.

No new construction or use of a vacant lot, including specifically
any demolished building, shall have a front yard setback less than
the average of existing buildings in the surrounding area, to be determined
by the Board when considering the application. At the same time, the
side and rear yards will be consistent with the surrounding area,
but in no event less than six feet, and further, no side or rear yard
will be less than 10 feet where the property line abuts a residential
district.
|
[2]
|
In those instances where two adjacent property owners cooperate
to share a common access driveway serving both properties and thereby

such as privacy hedges, fences, low profile walls, trellises and other
similar features should be considered and included in development
plans.
F. Minimum Off-Street Parking. Each individual use shall provide parking
spaces according to the following minimum provisions. Where a permitted
use of land includes different specific activities with different
specific parking requirements, the total number of required parking
spaces shall be obtained by individually computing the parking requirements

[1]
|
A building shall not be constructed closer than 25 feet from
any street right-of-way line, except in the case of lots adjoining
streets classified as arterial or higher. The front yard setback may
be reduced to permit existing nonconforming structures to remain,
and to permit additions thereto, but the setback for such additions
shall not be less than 20 feet. The setback along arterial streets,
or any higher classification street, shall be a minimum of 50 feet.

|
No commercially used building shall exceed 6,000 square feet
of gross floor area. More than one principal building shall be permitted,
provided that the total floor area ratio and lot coverage maximums
specified herein are not exceeded. All buildings shall be separated

should not be construed to prohibit covered pedestrian walkways when
the roof or covering of such walkway extends between the buildings.

the RHC District and a landscaped buffer with a minimum width of 50
feet shall be provided against any residentially used lot. The buffer
