used and no building or structure shall be erected or structurally
altered, except for the following uses:
A.
Single-family detached house.

Multifamily dwelling and apartment houses of the type
commonly called "garden apartment," subject to the following requirements:
(1)
Minimum lot size. No building which is intended or
designed to be used, in whole or in part, as a garden apartment building
shall be erected or constructed upon a lot containing an area of less
than five acres, except that if a zone boundary line passes through
any lot of five acres or more with the result that the area available
for garden apartment construction is less than five acres, such area
of less than five acres may be approved for garden apartment development;
provided, however, that all other regulations pertaining to the erection
or construction of the garden apartments shall be applied to and within
the area permitting such construction, except that the calculation
of the number of units to be constructed shall be based upon such
acreage available for such construction.
(2)
Height. No garden apartment building shall have more
than two habitable stories.
(3)
Minimum space between buildings. There shall be a
minimum open space of at least 40 feet between buildings.
(4)
Density. No more than 12 apartment units shall be
permitted per acre.
(5)
Rooms. Each apartment unit in each apartment building
shall contain separate bedroom, separate bathroom, separate living
room and separate kitchen facilities, which kitchen facilities shall
be located separate and apart from other rooms. A bedroom shall be
construed as any separate room other than a dining room, living room,
kitchen or bathroom.
(6)
Setbacks. There shall be a front yard, side yard and
rear yard minimum setback of at least 50 feet, except that where a
garden apartment is constructed upon a lot having frontage upon a
street of legal width of less than 66 feet, the required front setback
shall be 50 feet, plus 1/2 of the difference, in feet, of the actual
legal road width subtracted from 66 feet. Any garden apartment development
on a corner lot shall be considered as having two front yards, one
facing each street.
(7)
Landscaping. All areas of a garden apartment development
not used for the construction of buildings, roads, accessways, parking
area or sidewalks shall be fully landscaped. Where a garden apartment
development boundary line abuts a lot in a residential zone, which
lot is not owned by the garden apartment developer, there shall not
be cut, uprooted, destroyed or taken away any existing trees, shrubbery
or other planting within the area of 20 feet inside the boundary line
of the garden apartment development abutting a residential lot. If
no adequate trees, shrubs or planting exists in the twenty-foot area
in the natural state of the premises before development, the area
shall be provided with an adequate approved planting plan to provide
a belt of screening within the twenty-foot area.
(8)
Interior roads. All roads and other accessways within the garden apartment development shall be private roads constructed, paved and curbed to a right-of-way width of not less than 30 feet. All such construction, paving and curbing shall be completed in accordance with Chapter 225, Land Use, Subdivisions and Site Plans.
(9)
Parking. No parking shall be permitted on any road
or accessway within the garden apartment development. All parking
shall be confined to the areas specifically designated on the site
plan for that purpose. Parking spaces of 200 square feet for each
car shall be required to the extent of 200% of the number of units
to be built. Parking areas shall be paved and curbed and provided
with an adequate system of stormwater drainage. No parking area may
be placed closer to a building than 20 feet. Parking areas may be
constructed in the rear and side yards, but in no event closer than
20 feet to a side or rear lot line. No parking areas shall be constructed
within a front yard setback area.
(10)
Buildings. No principal building shall:
(a)
Be designed for or occupied by more than 16
families.
(b)
Exceed 160 feet in length in its longest dimension.
(c)
Provide less than two exterior exposures, each
of which shall be properly pierced so as to provide through-ventilation
or cross-ventilation for each unit.
(d)
Allow or contain outside television antennas.
All television antenna equipment shall be built into the building
to eliminate individual antennas being erected upon the roof. This
subsection shall not apply to a common antenna tower.
(e)
Allow any air-conditioning unit to project more
than six inches from the face of the wall of the building in which
it is installed.
(f)
Provide, in the basement area, less than 700
cubic feet of storage for each garden apartment unit in the building.
(g)
Fail to provide, in an enclosed basement area,
laundry facilities for the exclusive use of the occupants of the building.
No outside clothesline or clothes-hanging facilities or devices shall
be provided or allowed.
(11)
Utilities. For all garden apartments, the applicant
for the site plan approval shall arrange with the serving utility
for the underground installation of the utility's distribution supply
lines and service connections, in accordance with the provisions of
the applicable standard terms and conditions incorporated as a part
of its tariff on file with the State of New Jersey Board of Public
Utility Commissioners, and shall submit to the Planning Board, prior
to the granting of site plan approval, a written instrument from each
serving utility which shall evidence full compliance with the provisions
of this subsection; provided, however, that sites which abut existing
streets where overhead electric or telephone distribution supply lines
have heretofore been installed on any portion of the streets involved
may be supplied with electric and telephone service from the overhead
lines or extensions but the service connections from the utility's
overhead lines shall be installed underground.
