6.
Parking provided pursuant to residential site improvement standards
("RSIS"), N.J.A.C. 5:21 et seq., must be accommodated on-site and
located in the side and/or rear yard. However, the City does encourage
alternative transportation mechanisms to balance the density and the
vehicular impacts of that density on the neighborhood. (See "Off-street
parking," Subsection D of this section.)
7.
A density bonus has been offered for structured parking which is
either entirely below grade or substantially below grade and whose
roof is landscaped and accessible to the site residents. An alternative
density bonus has been offered for covered parking that provides either
a vegetated roof or solar panels. (See "Density incentives"[3]).

homes with individual entrances opening to the street, with a minimum
of one front door for every three dwelling units. Such housing shall
also incorporate architectural treatments such as horizontal and vertical
articulation to break up the mass of the buildings.
10.
As the streetscape, open space, landscaping and/or green roofs/plazas
are all possible elements integral to the overall development, it
is recommended that a certified landscape architect shall be retained
by the developer from the project's inception. This professional should
work with the project team to develop the elements as identified as
well as to assist in the incorporation of other LEED and site attributes
into the overall development and streetscape.
11.
Affordable housing pursuant to the City's Housing Element/Fair
Share Plan and/or as determined by the City's housing professionals
and Common Council shall be provided.
12.
A density bonus has been offered to incorporate green building
and sustainable development practices within the zone. The development
team will be guided by and the bonuses assigned will be measured utilizing
the LEED Neighborhood Development (ND) rating system or LEED New Construction
(NC) building rating system as the City's intent is to integrate the
principles of smart growth and green building into the Zoning Ordinance.
Any bonuses awarded or assigned shall be conditioned upon the receipt
of LEED ND and/or LEED NC certification by the project and/or all
the individual buildings.
13.
Permitted density shall be calculated as follows:
a.
In calculations of density where a number is a fraction or includes
a fraction of the whole, for the purposes of this subsection it shall
be rounded up.
b.
Residential density. Base density of 12 units per acre. Density
may be increased up to a maximum of 17 units per acre through bonuses
as described below. All housing forms must meet the bulk requirements
as specified in the Schedule of Space Regulations located in the Appendix
at the end of this chapter.[4]
[4]
Editor's Note: The Appendixes are included as attachments to this chapter.
c.
Density incentives. Multiple incentives are offered to encourage
projects to develop in a manner that supports the general welfare
by providing long-term operational cost savings via sustainability
initiatives and/or additional open space through landscaping above
below-grade parking or provision of solar panels or a vegetated roof
covering at-grade parking. These incentives are in the form of additional
dwelling units as it is believed that the overall health, safety and
welfare of the community is enhanced by their use. The applicant may
elect to incorporate incentives, increasing the density to a maximum
of 17 units per acre as shown below. However, the overall density
utilizing the maximum incentives shall not exceed 17 units per acre.
The following incentives are optional, and eligibility is subject
to the satisfaction of the criteria identified and approval by the
Planning Board.
(1)
Structured below-grade parking. If 85% of the site's parking
requirements are provided below or substantially below grade and the
rooftop of the parking structure not beneath the dwelling units is
landscaped and developed as part of the residential cluster's required
common open space and accessible to all residents of the development,
the following density bonus will be applied:
(2)
If 85% of the parking provided is aboveground covered parking,
and the roof of the structure is covered with solar collectors and/or
a green (living) roof, the following density bonus will be applied:
(a)
1.0 additional unit per acre.
(3)
LEED certification. The developer may choose to design the project
to meet the eligibility requirements for LEED ND or LEED NC certification
and include commissioning or an appropriate methodology to quantify
the benefits and reduction in environmental impacts of the overall
development. The developer and the development team shall work in
concert with the City and Planning Board to achieve the goals identified
in this subsection and the LEED rating system utilized. A method for
monitoring the project shall be established prior to site plan approval
and shall be completed within a time frame acceptable to the Planning
Board, with updates provided by the developer at mutually agreed-upon
intervals in the approval process. The monitoring method, and the
time frame for its completion, shall be incorporated within any resolution
of approval for the project. The bonuses offered are as follows:
D.
Off-street parking.
1.
Minimum off-street parking. The project shall meet the parking requirements
set forth in residential site improvement standards, N.J.A.C. 5:21
et seq. It is further recommended that the parking plan and traffic
impact statement include information and discussion regarding the
following:
a.
Car-share programs; their availability to the development, neighborhood
and to the community and whether adequate numbers of vehicles are
available to the community; and
b.
Evidence that transportation alternatives will be offered and
affirmatively promoted in the marketing strategy for the project.
E.
It is recommended that the applicant submit a concept plan to the
Planning Board to discuss the overall architectural and site design,
landscaping, open space, circulation, LEED rating system proposed,
and the intended density based on the bonuses chosen.

A.
Purpose. The PROD-2 is intended to permit a specialized range of
uses which will strengthen the local economy by expanding job opportunities
and diversifying the City's tax base in a manner which is consistent
with the overall character of the City and compatible with surrounding
uses and facilities. The zone is intended to accommodate offices,
scientific and applied research facilities, and uses dedicated to
the development and application of technology and production of end
products for commercial distribution and transportation thereof. The
nature, scale, and function of such uses shall be limited and regulated
to ensure that they pose no significant or unusual risk to the public
health, safety, and welfare, generate a minimum of noise, heat, glare,
odor, dust, vibration, or other nuisances; emit no harmful radiation
or pollution of the air, water, or ground; and pose a minimum of traffic,
fire, and other safety hazards. The design and development of land
and facilities in the zone will be regulated to create a well-planned
environment with attractive buildings and structures, well-landscaped
buffer and yard areas, and screened access and storage facilities.
To achieve these objectives, the zone requires the integrated planning
of large tracts of land while permitting phased development to minimize
disruptions and instability for existing nearby residents.
B.
Permitted uses.
1.
Principal uses.
a.
Scientific, testing, analytical, research and product development
laboratories exclusively devoted to research, design, and testing
or experimentation, including processing or fabricating that is clearly

2.
Where the PROD-2 Zone abuts a residential zone, no part of any building
or appurtenance or accessory structure (including chimneys, water
tanks, etc.) may be higher than 1/3 the distance of that part from
the residential zone boundary line.
3.
Where abutting a residential zone, buildings shall be set back 125
feet from the residential zone boundary line, and this buffer shall
be equipped with suitable positive screening. The Planning Board may
consider variable buffers from 50 feet to 125 feet, which will be
established during the GDP approval process. The variable buffer will
be based on the proposed uses and their potential impacts in the intended
area. The landscaping and screening may require enhancement but at
minimum shall consist of three staggered rows of Norway spruce or
other equivalent evergreen trees planted and maintained at not more
than 10 feet on centers. If a fence is constructed in connection with
this screening, it shall be approved by the approving authority.
a.
The exceptions to the setback requirements are for improvements
related to existing facilities (guardhouse) and/or keyed accessed
to/from Morris Avenue into the property. The rehabilitation or modification
of existing facilities that will positively improve aesthetics or
vehicular circulation into or out of the site and will not further
exacerbate an existing condition may be sought without variance relief
but are subject to any building, fire and police codes, permits, and
approvals.
4.
All proposed work shall be in accordance with the design requirements
set forth in the Development Regulations Ordinance and consistent
with the Development Design Guidelines in the Appendix of this chapter,[1] which are illustrative of the design requirements.

appearance brought about by the use of horizontal bands and fascia
to minimize the verticality of the structure.
c.
Materials, colors and finishes shall be coordinated on all exterior
elevations of each building.
d.
Architectural designs shall be evaluated in terms of the sensitive
integration of form, textures, and colors with the particular landscape
and topographic characteristics of the site represented.
e.
Groups of related buildings shall be designed to present a harmonious
appearance in terms of style and use of exterior materials, fenestration
and roof type.
f.
Building exterior walls shall be articulated to reduce the scale
and the uniform appearance of buildings and to provide visual interest
that will be consistent with the site's identity, character and scale.
As such, one or a combination of the following shall be utilized in
a planned research office development:
g.
The primary building objective is to maintain an architecturally
harmonious development. Each building shall be sensitive to the immediate
neighboring structure. Inconsistent variations in scale, texture or
colors shall not be permitted.
h.
No more than 30% of the roof area of buildings in the PROD 2
Zone may be occupied by a mechanical room, chimney, stair towers,
elevator shafts or mechanical equipment enclosed by parapets and decorative
and sound-attenuating screening, provided that the above appurtenances
may not exceed 12 feet in height and must be set back from the roof's
edge to the greatest extent possible. However, solar panels shall
be exempt from the rooftop coverage as long as it can be demonstrated
that they can be positively screened from the adjacent uses.
6.
Parking and circulation.
a.
Each development site must provide adequate off-street automobile parking and loading facilities and spaces, and no parking or loading facilities and spaces shall be permitted on any street, entrance drive, or any place other than in an approved location.

Up to 20% of the total number of parking spaces may be land-banked
if the applicant can demonstrate to the Planning Board that not all
of the required number of parking spaces are needed. The location
of future parking areas shall be indicated on the site plan. The City
may conduct site visits to confirm that the amount of parking provided
is being utilized by the development and, in fact, that the parking
remains sufficient to meet the needs of the development. If at any
time it is determined that this is no longer the case, the construction
of additional "banked" or reserved parking spaces may be required
as determined by the City Engineer to meet the demand.
c.
Parking areas shall provide safe, convenient, and efficient
access. They shall be placed next to buildings in order to shorten
the distance to other buildings and sidewalks and to reduce the overall
scale of the paved surface.
d.

residential streets, but must be only on collector or arterial roads,
as designated in the Master Plan. Provisions must be made for the
off-street turning of all vehicles so that it is not necessary for
vehicles to back out onto streets. However, emergency access roads
to minor residential streets will be fully considered by the Planning
Board during GDP hearings in conjunction with the input from the police,
fire and the various departments within the City.
g.
No parking or new peripheral roads may be placed in the 125 feet of the landscaped buffer adjacent to residential zones. The parking areas will be evaluated at the time of the GDP, and existing parking areas will be evaluated and moved away from the residential zone to the greatest extent possible. The buffer standards in Article XIV shall also apply.
7.
The building height and number of stories of structures may be increased
to 60 feet and five stories if located within a height enhancement
area, HEA, as identified on the plan included in the Appendix at the
end of this chapter.[2]

A.
Purpose.
1.
The purpose of the Gateway II Zone is to redevelop the Gateway II
properties, improving one of the principal entrances into the City's
CRBD Zone. The primary intent is to support a welcoming streetscape
and higher-density residential development primarily in exchange for
sustainable building practices and affordable housing, all within
close proximity to the CRBD and the transportation center of the City.
Creative design will be needed to reconcile the properties' existing
conditions (topography, shallow depth, proximity to active/inactive
rail lines), turning these challenges into opportunities to create
a transit and environmentally friendly neighborhood. It is the City's
intent in creating this zone to incorporate the best of urban design,
sustainability practices and construction techniques to visually minimize
the massing and height of the buildings while creating an attractive
development linking East Summit, the City's parking facilities and
the CRBD. The resulting development will provide detailed architectural
treatments, sustainable building practices, enhanced landscaped courtyards
and a streetscape that will soften and integrate the new development,
while creating an attractive environment for further visitors, residents
and the community. The zone will capitalize on the location to provide
a unique housing opportunity within walking distance to the community's
services, CRBD and rail station.
2.
As delineated in the map below, Subzones T1-A, T1-B, T2 and T3 have
been created in order to tailor the permitted uses and bulk requirements
to their particular locations and site conditions.
