§ 154-131.6. Site development standards.

Site development standards for inclusionary developments shall be reduced from the current design and development standards. These reduced standards may be used by the inclusionary developer throughout the development as applied to both market and low- and moderate-income units. Inclusionary developments are defined as those developments wherein at least 15% of the units are low- and moderate-income housing units plus those developments as described in the consent order, which are to be built by the parties to the order. The site standards applicable to the inclusionary developments shall conform to the following:

A. 

The minimum size of a parking space to serve residential housing shall be nine feet by 18 feet, except for parallel parking spaces. Where on-site off-street parking is required for single-family detached development, the same parking space size shall apply.

B. 

Minimum parking requirements for multifamily development.

(1) 

The following number of parking spaces shall be required as the minimum per unit of housing for any multifamily development:

	Type of Unit	Minimum Required Spaces
	1-bedroom or smaller	1.5 for each unit
	2-bedroom	1.75 for each unit
	3-bedroom	2 for each unit

(2) 

When calculating the number of parking spaces, an enclosed garage shall be considered the equivalent of 1/3 of a parking space. If the units are served or located on a street with less than two parking lanes, compensating off-street parking in excess of the above minimums shall be provided. (See Subsection G below.)

C. 

Parking stalls shall be permitted around loop roads.

D. 

No sidewalk shall exceed four feet in width where said sidewalk is set back at least two feet from the curb line or a line created by car stops or bumper blocks to assure that the overhang of the vehicle will in no way obstruct the sidewalk. In the alternative, sidewalks may be five feet in width abutting the rear of the curb.

E. 

Sidewalks for a single-family detached development or developments where there is no common parking area shall be permitted along one side of the cartway only.

F. 

Rolled curbs or mountable curbs rather than vertical curbs will be permitted throughout that portion of the development where a number of curb cuts may be anticipated such as those sections to be developed with single-family detached housing units or multifamily unit areas where each living unit contains its own on-site parking. Curbing may be replaced in private parking areas by precast bumpers or their equivalent, where drainage and traffic needs permit. The Planning Board may waive curbing requirements along the roadways where drainage and traffic needs permit.

G. 

Width of streets.

(1) 

The minimum width of streets between curb lines shall be as follows:

Street Classifi- cation	Travel Lanes	Parking Lanes	Shoulder	Cart- way (feet)
Minor	2 at 12 feet each*	None	None	24
	2 at 11 feet each*	1 at 8 feet each	--	30
	2 at 9 feet each	2 at 8 feet each	--	34
Collector	2 at 10 feet each*	None	2 at 5 feet each	30
	2 at 12 feet each*	1 at 8 feet each	--	32
	2 at 12 feet each	2 at 8 feet each	--	40
Primary	2 at 12 feet each	None	2 at 5 feet each	34

*NOTE: To be used only where compensating off-street parking is provided in excess of the minimum required as set forth in this article, in an amount equivalent to that available if two parking lanes where available.

(2) 

The required right-of-way will be determined in each case by adding a total of 16 feet to the cartway width specified in the table above.

H. 

The minimum pavement thickness design for roadways which are to be dedicated to the Township shall be two inches FABC-1 over a five-inch stabilized base placed upon a subbase suitable to the engineer unless soil and drainage conditions permit different paving which must be based upon suitable, recognized testing procedures.

I. 

Paving for private parking areas and aisles within same shall be three-inch stabilized base with one-and-one-half inch FABC-1 top, where the subbase has a CBR value greater than 10.
