E. The above uses are subject to the following restrictions:

(1) The total gross acreage of any tract included in an application to the Planning Board shall specifically be apportioned between the following two (2) principal uses: residential dwelling units and commercial uses.

(a) Residential dwelling units, including single-family detached units and townhouses, shall be permitted provided that:

[1] Residential dwelling units shall be developed-at-a- density not to exceed 2.0 units per gross acre of land specifically apportioned to the residential units. Density may be increased pursuant to Section 296-67.

[2] For purposes of calculating density, the gross acreage of the land area specifically apportioned to the residential dwelling units shall account for fifty percent (50%) of the gross acreage of the tract which is included in the subject application. Any variance from this provision shall require a use variance under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d. In addition to those Pinelands Development Credits required pursuant to Sections 296-67.1A(3) and 67.1A(8), any such use variance which allows more than fifty percent (50%) of a tract to be utilized for purposes of calculating floor area ratio in accordance with paragraph (b)[1) below shall require that Pinelands Development Credits be used at the rate of 1.6 rights for every acre above the fifty percent (50%).

[3] Townhouses are subject to the requirements contained in Section 294-128 of the Winslow Code.

(b) Commercial uses, including professional office buildings and regional shopping centers, shall be permitted provided that:

[1] For purposes of calculating floor area ratio, the gross acreage of the land area specifically apportioned to the commercial uses shall account for fifty percent (50%) of the gross acreage of the tract which is included in the subject application.

[2] Commercial uses shall be developed at a floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.22. The floor area ratio shall be based on the gross acreage of the land area specifically apportioned to the commercial uses pursuant to paragraph (b)[1] above and may be increased pursuant to Section 296-67.1.

[3] Shopping centers may include pad site development but no direct access to these pad uses from a public right-of-way is permitted. All pad sites shall have access from the shopping center internal circulation network.

(c) The uses listed in paragraphs (a) and (b) above may be mixed or physically separated on a site, provided the requirements of paragraphs (a)[2] and (b)[1] above are met. When the residential and commercial uses are located in the same building or share other facilities, the determination of land area occupied by each type of use may take into consideration the size, intensity and capacity of the proposed residential and commercial uses on the parcel.

(2) The timing of development among the various types of uses shall be regulated by the Planning Board which shall specify that development of the approved commercial uses and the approved residential uses shall proceed at the same rate. In no case shall the final certificate of occupancy for any commercial use be issued until such time as the approved residential uses have been completed.

A.Residential dwelling units proposed for development in the PTC District shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Schedule 2, Area, Yard and Bulk Requirements for Residential uses, found at the end of this chapter

B. Nonresidential uses proposed for development within the PTC District shall be subject to the requirements listed in Schedule 3, Area, Yard and Bulk Requirements for Nonresidential Uses, found at the end of this chapter.

The design of buildings and related improvements in the Pinelands Town Center District shall be governed by the following criteria:

A. Architectural style of the development shall be designed to avoid the massive scale and uniform impersonal appearances of a "big box" commercial center through facade ornamentation, building offsets, window treatments, variation in roof lines, entry treatments and upgraded building materials.

(1) Building facades greater than one hundred (100) feet in length, including separate buildings that are attached, shall have recesses or projection of at least four (4) feet extending over at least twenty percent (20%) of the length of the facade. There shall be no uninterrupted length of facade which exceeds one hundred (100) feet.

(2) Smaller retail stores with individual entrances can help to break up a long facade. Retail stores or restaurants of less than twenty-five thousand (25,000) square feet shall have glass facades between the height of three (3) feet and eight (8) feet for no less than sixty percent (60%) of the horizontal length of the building facade.

(3) Each building facade, including separate buildings which are attached, exceeding one hundred (100) feet in length shall have clearly defined, highly visible customer entrances that include at least three (3) of the following: canopies or porticos; overhangs; recesses/projections; arcades; raised cornice parapets over the door; peaked roof forms; arches; outdoor patios; display windows; architectural details such as tile work and moldings which are integrated into the building structure and design; integral planters or wing walls that incorporate landscaped areas and/or places for sitting. Weather protection features such as awnings or arcades are required to extend over and provide cover within thirty (30) feet of all customer entrances.

(4) Variations in roof lines shall be used to screen HVAC equipment and to provide interest and reduce the scale of large buildings. Roofs should have at least two (2) of the following features: Parapets to conceal flat roofs and equipment; overhanging eaves of at least three (3) feet; sloping roofs with an average slope of between 3:1 and 1:1 that do not exceed the average height of the supporting walls; three (3) or more roof slope planes. As per the definition of height of building or structure, rooftop equipment or the materials used to screen such equipment shall be included in determining the total height for the building.

(5) Exterior building materials and colors contribute significantly to the visual impact of a building. The exterior building skin shall be composed of one (1) dominant facing material and not more than two (2) additional materials. The dominant material shall comprise sixty percent (60%) or greater of each building elevation.

Dominant exterior materials may include:

Wood

Brick

Stone

Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU)

CMU allowed only as split face block or block molded with a textured surface.

Glass - Warm and cool tones

Stucco and synthetic stucco

Dominant exterior building materials may not include:

Aluminum siding

Vinyl siding

Smooth-faced CMU

Tilt-up concrete panels

Glass-Highly reflective/mirrored.

(6) Dominant facade colors must be low reflectance, subtle, neutral, or earth-toned. The use of high intensity colors, metallic colors and black is prohibited. Building trim and accents may feature brighter colors. Neon tube lighting may not be used for building trim or accent.

B. Internal sidewalk or other pedestrian walking paths acceptable to the Planning Board shall be provided as part of any development.

C. No parking may be placed in the required front yard setback area.

D. All loading areas shall be screened to limit visibility.

Within the required yard setbacks for office and commercial uses in the Pinelands Town Center Zone, the following requirements shall be observed. In all other instances, the requirements of Section 294-104 and the applicable requirements of Section 296 Article XV shall be observed.

A.On any lot or tract with frontage on Route 73, a minimum of a sixty (60) foot deep buffer from any right-of-way line shall be provided. Retention of the natural vegetation or reforestation with naturally occurring vegetation shall be utilized within the buffer to the greatest extent possible, in order to obscure the views of the uses on the property. Otherwise, the buffer shall be landscaped with a dense mixture of trees, evergreens, shrubs, and ground covers, with berming, so as to achieve the required screening. All applications for development shall comply with the requirements of Section 296-82.

B. Where any nonresidential property abuts a residential property or zone, a minimum of a seventy-five (75) foot deep buffer shall be provided. Retention of the natural vegetation or reforestation with naturally occurring vegetation shall be utilized within the buffer to the greatest extent possible, in order to obscure the views from one use to the other. Otherwise, the buffer shall be landscaped with a dense mixture of trees, evergreens, shrubs, and ground covers, with berming, so as to achieve the required screening. All applications for development shall comply with the requirements of Section 296-82.
