The PR-5, or Pinelands/Rural Development Residential District,
occurs in areas of the Township designated in the Pinelands Comprehensive
Management Plan as Rural Development Areas. This district is intended
primarily for residential development at an overall or average density
of one dwelling unit per 3.2 acres.
Within the PR-5 District, land may be used and buildings or
structures may be used, altered or erected for the following uses:
A. Single-family, detached dwellings, provided that clustering of the permitted dwelling units shall be required in accordance with Section
296-65.1 whenever two (2) or more units are proposed as part of a residential development.
[Amended 7-19-11 by Ord. No. O-2011-017]
B. Single-family detached dwellings on individual lots no less than one (1.0) acre in size in accordance with Section
296-9.3 or Section
296-9.4.
C. Recreation facilities, low-intensive or intensive.
E. Public service infrastructure.
F. Accessory uses incidental to any of the foregoing uses.
G. Single-family, detached dwellings which are not clustered in accordance with the standards of Section
296-65.1 may be permitted as a conditional use, provided that:
[Amended 7-19-11 by Ord. No. O-2011-017]
(1)
The Planning Board finds that:
(a)
Clustering of the proposed dwellings would be inconsistent with
the minimum environmental standards set forth at N.J.A.C. 7:50-6;
or
(b)
Clustering of the proposed dwellings would disrupt the contiguity
of the forest ecosystem to a greater degree than non-clustered development.
(2)
The minimum area, yard and bulk requirements of Section
296-12 are met.
All development proposed within the PR-5 District shall conform with all applicable standards under Article
XV of this chapter.
