§ 233-22 Planned Neighborhood Commercial District accessory to an approved planned unit development.

[Added 4-24-2001 by Ord. No. 1452]

The intent of the Planned Neighborhood Commercial District is to serve the residents and users of facilities at approved planned unit developments. This zoning designation recognizes the existing traffic conditions on Wrangleboro Road due to the presence of a node of educational facilities and higher density residential patterns in this portion of the Township as well as the possibility of development of a full interchange at exit 44 on the Garden State Parkway (at Pomona Road). It is believed that the appropriate location of neighborhood commercial development within the planned unit developments will help to reduce vehicle trips for everyday needs and staples and remove excess automobiles from the major transportation corridors within the Township. Neighborhood commercial development is permitted on all vacant lots that meet the minimum required lot size in the area east of the Garden State Parkway, north of Reeds Road, and west of Pitney Road. The following standards and requirements will apply to all nonresidential development as part of the Planned Neighborhood Commercial District:

(3)

All signs must be wood with a sandblasted finish. Only external illumination of signs is permitted. No internally illuminated, plastic or laminated signs are permitted.

(4)

All lots must have access to Wrangleboro Road or Collins Road.
