[Ord. No. 94-19, § 2.]
(a)
A continuing care retirement community (CCRC) approvable as a conditional use must be age restricted as set forth in the definition of a CCRC (section T10B-241), must include independent living units in a single-family, two-family, or multifamily structure, and assisted living units and nursing care units. The CCRC shall also include facilities and arrangements for providing continuing care and meals for residents, with or without common dining facilities, and may include accessory services customarily incidental to a continuing care retirement community. For purposes of this subdivision:
(1)
An INDEPENDENT LIVING UNIT - Is a dwelling unit in a continuing
care retirement community which is unrestricted except as to an age
requirement for occupancy.
(2)

provide housing and congregate dining and to assure that assisted
living services are available when needed to adult persons unrelated
to the proprietor. Such units shall offer, at a minimum, one unfurnished
room, a private bathroom, a kitchenette and a lockable door on the
unit entrance. "Assisted living" is a level of care between nursing
care and independent living and includes a coordinated array of supportive
personal and health services, available 24 hours per day, to residents
who have been assessed to need these services. Assisted living is
intended to promote resident self-direction and participation in decisions
that emphasize independence, individuality, privacy, dignity and homelike
surroundings.
(3)
NURSING-CARE UNITS - Are beds in a nursing facility that is
licensed by the New Jersey State Department of Health to provide health
care under medical supervision and continuous nursing care for 24
or more consecutive hours to patients who do not require the degree
of care and treatment which a hospital provides and who, because of
their physical or mental condition, require continuous nursing care
and services above the level of room and board.

SINGLE-FAMILY STRUCTURES and TWO-FAMILY STRUCTURES - Shall have the meaning ascribed to them in section T10B-191(a) and (b).

dwelling units, with each unit sharing with other unit or units, one
or more vertical or horizontal common walls and with each unit having
