[Amended 2-13-1979 by Ord. No. 78:32; 5-14-2019 by Ord. No.
2019:21]
The mixed land use option shall be permitted
only in the R-1M District.
Any application for a mixed land use development shall be made under and in accord with all the regulations and procedures as set forth for a major subdivision and major site plan as set forth in Chapter
225, Land Use, Subdivisions and Site Plans.
The mixed land use option implements the concepts
and principles as expressed in the adopted Master Plan of Parsippany-Troy
Hills Township dated May 26, 1976. There shall be three mixed land
use development options differentiated one from the other by use and
development intensity. The uses permitted by the mixed land use option
and zoning districts are as follows:
Permitted accessory uses shall be uses customary
and incidental to the principal use.
Mixed land use development applications shall
comply with the standards set forth hereinafter, with specific regard
to allocation of the uses and intensity of land development.
To encourage flexibility of housing density,
design and type, in cases of development proposed to be developed
over a period of years, deviations may be authorized from the density
or intensity of use established for the entire development plan. The
Planning Board may allow for a greater concentration of density or
intensity of land use within some section or sections of development,
whether it is earlier or later in the development, than upon others.
The approval of the Planning Board of a greater concentration of density
or intensity of land use for any section to be developed must be offset
by a smaller concentration in any completed prior stage, or there
must be an appropriate reservation of open space on the remaining
land by a grant of easement, deed or covenant in favor of the municipality.
Such reservation shall, as far as practicable, defer the precise location
of such open space until an application for preliminary approval is
filed.
The authority granted to the Planning Board and the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills to establish standards for the location, width, course and surfacing of public streets and highways, ways for public service facilities, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, streetlights, parks, playgrounds, school grounds, stormwater drainage, water supply and distribution, sanitary sewers and sewage collection and treatment shall be vested in the Planning Board for the purposes of this section. The Planning Board is hereby authorized to make such modifications of standards and requirements otherwise required of subdivisions as set forth in Chapter
225, Land Use, Subdivisions and Site Plan, as long as such modifications are consistent with the terms of this article, except that the following minimum standards shall apply:
A. The right-of-way and pavement widths for internal
ways and roads serving townhouse cluster, commercial and industrial
developments shall be determined from sound planning and engineering
standards in conformity with the estimated needs of the full development
proposed and the traffic to be generated thereby and shall be adequate
and sufficient in size, location and design to accommodate the maximum
traffic, parking and loading needs and the access of fire-fighting
equipment and police vehicles and shall be certified thereto by a
competent expert or experts licensed under the laws of the State of
New Jersey. In such instance, other provisions of this section shall
not apply but may serve as general guides to the Planning Board in
approving the development plans.
(1) Internal private roads shall have a required pavement
width as follows:
(a)
One-way traffic roads: twenty-foot pavement
width.
(b)
Two-way traffic roads: thirty-foot pavement
width.
(2) Sidewalks shall be at least three feet in width.
(3) Serviceways for public service and emergency vehicles
shall be no less than 15 feet in width.
B. All electric, gas and telephone utility lines shall
be installed underground. Prior to the issuance of a building permit,
written certification from each serving utility shall be required
which shall evidence full compliance with the provisions of this requirement.
C. In addition to all other standards, conditions or
requirements set forth in this article, all site and building plans
shall be reviewed by the Planning Board in regard to safety and convenience
of traffic access and parking, disposition and usability of open space,
compatibility of building types, building construction, floor plans
and other factors relating to site design. Said site review will also
include site design as it fits in with the general development of
the entire development plan area.
D. Off-street parking and loading requirements shall be as specified in Article
XXXVII.
