(3)
The existing building fronting on Schooley's Mountain Road shall
be retained and rehabilitated and may be adaptively reused for not

(4)
Architectural review. In addition to Historic Preservation Commission
review, new development shall be guided by the following additional
design objectives and standards, which shall be applied through an
interactive planning process between the developer and the Planning
Board prior to, or during, site plan review.
(a)
Respect the village scale. Historic buildings in the Township's
historic districts are located in intimate proximity to Route 24 (CR
513 and 517), establishing a streetscape building wall. New development
should provide a similar type of closure along the frontage of the
developed area, to avoid the appearance of an expansive parking area
strip retail orientation. This standard is intended to provide the
development of a redevelopment streetscape along Schooley's Mountain
Road with additional retail and nonresidential elements with a consistent
set back from Route 24.
(b)
Streetscape facades should incorporate elements which reflect
the historic development, including the rhythm and spacing of windows,
roof pitches, use of exterior finish materials, staggered setbacks
within individual buildings and similar features. Any other facades
which are visible from a public right-of-way shall receive similar
treatment.
(c)
Exterior.
[1]
Exterior building facade materials and textures
shall be visually consistent and thematically compatible in scale
and appearance with historic properties in the Historic District.
Materials that are visually consistent with the Township's 18th and
19th century stone architecture and vernacular framed construction
with clapboard siding are encouraged. Building shapes, proportions,
roof lines, porches, dormers, fenestration, and details and ornamentation,
etc., should be consistent with the shape, mass, proportion, height,
appearance and style of the historic properties in the C-1 Zone.
[2]
Exterior features. The exterior features of buildings,
such as steps and railings, columns, patios and porches, flower boxes,
canopies and awnings, lighting, fences, gardens, lawn areas, signs,
sidewalks, driveways, and parking areas shall be integrated into site
and building design and compatible with the features of the historic
structures found in the Historic District. The use of vinyl siding,
aluminum siding, three-tab asphalt roof shingles and plastic fences
shall be prohibited in favor of more traditional historically sensitive
materials.
(d)
The Planning Board may require that building facades subject
to public view on buildings with an excess of 2,000 square feet, or
where a single vertical plane of a building extends horizontally 30
feet or more (where exposed to public view), that such building facade
shall be staggered with a minimum offset (i.e., 10 feet) to create
the appearance of multiple attached buildings. The Planning Board
may require that the exterior facade materials of such staggered vertical
surfaces of the building to be differentiated from the adjoining vertical
plane through the use of varied siding materials, textures, coloration,
porches, roof shapes, dormers, or combination of these.
(e)
Restoration, rehabilitation of historic properties. A condition
of any approval shall be the restoration or rehabilitation adaptive
reuse of the existing building fronting on Schooley's Mountain Road.
(5)
Streetscape development pattern. A streetscape frontage development
is required. The streetscape frontage, defined as that portion of
the tract within 200 feet of Schooley's Mountain Road, shall consist
of two-story buildings occupying no less than 55% and no more than
75% of the lot frontage with building frontage. Buildings shall have
a minimum separation of 25 feet and a maximum separation of 40 feet,
except where it can be shown that reduced setbacks assist in achieving
the overall design objectives set forth herein.
E.
Schedule of area, yard and building requirements. In recognition
of the existing nonconforming conditions of the buildings and improvements
within the AHRO, the following area, yard and bulk standards are established
for comprehensive redevelopment of a site including affordable housing
as permitted in this section.
