[Amended 10-2-2002 by Ord. No. 2002-5]
B.
Purpose. To provide convenient, aesthetically pleasing
and pedestrian-sensitive areas for working and/or shopping for area
residents and for highway users in general, without compromising the
carrying capacity of the highway. This can be achieved by improving
circulation between sites by permitting clustered development and
encouraging shared access and shared parking.
C.
Noncontiguous parcel clustering. The development potential of the land lying within the five-hundred-foot Route 206 Viewshed Corridor may be transferred to the areas designated CC Community Commercial adjacent to Route No. 206. The development potential of such property will be measured in development credits. The number of development credits attributable to that portion of a lot lying within the five-hundred-foot Route No. 206 Viewshed Corridor will be equal to the number of residential building lots that could be developed on that portion of the lot, applying the special design criteria for residential development in the viewshed corridor. See § 215-22C for design criteria. Development credits may then be transferred on the basis of 7,500 square feet of additional permitted floor area for each development credit.

Example: Based on a Ten-Acre Tract
| |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
1.
|
Permitted floor area on a ten-acre tract in
the CC Community Commercial Zone WITHOUT development credits = 52,272
square feet.
| ||
|
One acre = 43,560 square feet. 10 acres = 435,600
square feet.
| |||
|
Maximum permitted floor area ratio (FAR) in
Community Commercial Zone without development credits = .12
| |||
|
.12 x 435,600 sq. ft. = 52,272 square feet.
| |||
|
2.
|
Permitted floor area on a ten-acre tract in
the CC Community Commercial Zone WITH development credits = 78,408
square feet.
| ||
|
One acre = 43,560 square feet. 10 acres = 435,600
square feet.
| |||
|
Maximum permitted floor area ratio (FAR) in
Community Commercial Zone with development credits =. 18
| |||
|
.18 x 435,600 sq. ft. = 78,408 square feet.
| |||
|
3.
|
Permitted floor area on a ten-acre tract in
the CC Community Commercial Zone with THREE DEVELOPMENT CREDITS =
74,772 square feet.
| ||
|
One development credit = 7,500 square feet
| |||
|
Three development credits = 22,500 square feet
| |||
|
Permitted floor area on a ten-acre tract in
the CC Community Commercial Zone WITHOUT development credits = 52,272
square feet.
| |||
|
52,272 sq. ft. + 22,500 sq. ft. = 74,772 square
feet
| |||
|
4.
|
Permitted floor area on a ten-acre tract in
the CC Community Commercial Zone with ONE DEVELOPMENT CREDIT = 59,772
square feet.
| ||
|
One development credit = 7,500 square feet
| |||
|
Permitted floor area on a ten-acre tract in
the CC Community Commercial Zone - WITHOUT development credits = 52,272
square feet.
| |||
|
52,272 sq. ft. + 7,500 sq. ft. = 59,772 square
feet
| |||
|
5.
|
Floor area on a ten-acre tract in the CC Community
Commercial Zone with FOUR DEVELOPMENT CREDITS = 82,272 square feet.
REQUIRES USE VARIANCE. See N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d(4).

|
One development credit = 7,500 square feet
| |||
|
Four development credits = 30,000 square feet
| |||
|
Permitted floor area on a ten-acre tract in
the CC Community Commercial Zone WITHOUT development credits = 52,272
square feet.
| |||
|
52,272 sq. ft. + 30,000 sq. ft. = 82,272 square
feet
| |||
|
Maximum permitted floor area in Community Commercial
Zone with development credits = 78,408 square feet.
| |||
|
82,272 square feet is greater than 78,408 square
feet. USE VARIANCE REQUIRED per N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d(4).

6.
|
Development credits shall not be transferred
until:
| ||
|
a.
|
The Planning Board determines the number of
development credits attributable to the portion of the lot that lies
within the five-hundred-foot Route No. 206 Viewshed Corridor. Applications
to determine such number shall be deemed applications for minor subdivision
approval.
| ||
|
b.
|
Only those lands not previously restricted from
development may transfer development potential.
| ||
|
c.
|
Land whose development potential is being transferred
shall be deed restricted either to those uses permitted by the state’s
farmland preservation program or deeded to a land trust or other suitable
entity for conservation.
| ||
|
d.
|
Deed restrictions and transaction instruments
must be reviewed and approved by the Township and Planning Board Solicitor
prior to recording.
| ||
|
e.
|
The development potential transfer shall occur
at the time the approved instruments are recorded.

CC Community Commercial Zone, subject to the requirements of that
zone.
