No less than 70% of a building's front
facade (including the front facade of any covered or uncovered porches)
must be located on the front build-to line; except, however, no less
than 50% of any townhouse or quadraplex building must be located on
the front build-to line. Front build-to lines shall be measured between
the edges of the street right-of-way and the closest facade of the
building; including porches. No part of any building shall extend
closer to a street than the front build-to line.
| ||
2
|
Required setbacks for accessory structures
shall be 10 feet from rear lot lines and six feet from side lot lines.
No accessory buildings shall be permitted within the front yard.
| ||
3
|
Maximum lot coverage requirements shall
not apply to porches located within the front yard.
| ||
4
|
In addition to the principal dwelling, an accessory building apartment is permitted by special exception, subject to the criteria listed in § 340-64. Such accessory building apartments shall not be calculated as part of the maximum permitted density depicted for single-family detached dwellings in this table.
| ||
5
|
No townhouse building shall contain
more than four units. For each townhouse building containing more
than four units, no more than 67% of such units shall have the same
front yard setback; the minimum variation of setback shall be five
feet. In addition, no more than two contiguous units shall have identical
roof lines that generally parallel the ground along the same horizontal
plane. All townhouse buildings shall be set back a minimum of 15 feet
from any interior access drives, or parking facilities contained on
commonly-held lands. All townhouse buildings shall be set back at
least 30 feet from any perimeter boundary of the development site.
In those instances where several townhouse buildings are located on
the same lot, the following separation distances will be provided
between each building:
| ||
(1)
|
Front to front, rear to rear or front
to rear parallel buildings shall have at least 50 feet between faces
of the building. If the front or rear faces are obliquely aligned,
the above distances may be decreased by as much as 10 feet at one
end if increased by similar or greater distance at the other end.
| ||
(2)
|
A minimum yard space of 30 feet is
required between end walls of buildings. If the buildings are at right
angles to each other, the distance between the corners of the end
walls of the building may be reduced to a minimum of 20 feet.
| ||
(3)
|
A minimum yard space of 30 feet is
required between end walls and front or rear faces of buildings.

(4)
|
All townhouse buildings shall be set
back a minimum of 15 feet from any interior access drives or parking
facilities contained on commonly held lands.
| ||
6
|
No apartment building designed in a townhouse configuration shall contain more than eight dwelling units. An apartment building designed in a configuration where all units share a common street entrance or where the units are in an over/under configuration shall have a maximum width and length of 200 feet. All buildings shall be separated in accordance with the multiple-family design criteria set forth in § 340-15E of this chapter.

Building front yard setbacks can be reduced
in two separate instances. First, a minimum twenty-foot setback can
be used when no off-street parking nor loading is provided between
the building and the adjoining street. In such cases, this area shall
be used for a minimum eight-foot-wide sidewalk and a planting strip
that comprises at least 25% of the area contained within the front
yard. Second, the building front yard setback can be reduced to 30
feet when perpendicular or angled head-in parking spaces directly
front an access easement. In this case, the thirty-foot strip shall
be comprised of a minimum ten-foot-wide landscape strip with sidewalk,
and the balance used for actual parking space.

For corner lots, the setback adjacent to the
street of lesser classification may be provided in accordance with

From this inventory and plot, it shall be incumbent
upon the applicant to demonstrate that the proposed schematic design
of the Village Overlay Zone development minimizes disturbance of,
but integrates, these features to provide a safe and attractive network
of common pedestrian paths that link areas within the proposed development
and connect with nearby uses of the Township. All common pedestrian
paths shall consist of an all-weather durable surface that is at least
five feet wide.
