Purpose. The purpose of the Affordable Housing Overlay District is

square feet. No building shall occupy more than 25% of the area of
the plot upon which it is built.
No building shall be erected to a height in excess of 35 feet
above average curb elevation on adjacent street; provided, however,
that this limitation shall not apply to churches, public buildings,
flagpoles and monuments, nor to domes, cupolas and chimneys, air-conditioning
enclosures, provided that the aggregate horizontal area of such parts
shall not exceed 10% of the ground area covered by the main building.
Radio and television antennas, poles, masts or towers shall not exceed
50 feet in height above ground level measured from the structure on
which located.

Within the O-R Zone, a front yard is required on every plot. It shall
have a mean depth of not less than 60 feet measured from the side
line of the street right-of-way (right-of-way width shall be as indicated
on Official Map) to the building proper.
B.
Nothing in this section shall justify the violation of any existing
ordinance or contract which prescribes a building line if such building
line would create a front yard or equivalent open space of a greater
mean depth than specified in this section.
Within the O-R Zone, the mean depth of a required rear yard
shall be not less than 60 feet. No building or accessory building
shall be erected within the area lying between any Township boundary
line or residence district boundary line and a line drawn 40 feet
therefrom and parallel thereto.
Within the O-R Zone, two side yards are required, each with
a minimum width of 30 feet.
In the event creation of a zone classified under this chapter
has resulted in the establishment of two different zones on one or
more parcels which are in the same ownership, then parking requirements
permitted hereunder may be extended into that part of the premises
under one ownership which has not been classified, rezoned and changed
for residential or other use district. Such extension of parking facilities
shall be subject to all other requirements of environmental and site
design provisions of the Site Plan Ordinance.[1]
