A. Purposes and requirements. The purpose of this section is to provide a variety of housing opportunities in that portion of the Township designated to accommodate the Township's low/moderate-income housing consistent with the adopted land use and housing elements of the Colts Neck Township Master Plan. It is specifically required that any development in this zone and under the zoning provision of this section will require the developer to abide by and meet the requirements of the terms and conditions of an Order of the Honorable Eugene Serpentelli, entered December 1, 1986, as may be amended from time to time, concerning affordable housing requirements in the Township of Colts Neck. It is intended that the design alternatives be used to maximize design flexibility, provide a mixture of housing types, meet the minimum dwelling units sizes as set forth by the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency or other applicable state agency requirements and produce the Township's regional fair share of lower-income housing. Environmentally critical areas shall be avoided by improvements if alternative solutions found to be reasonable and practical are available. Buffer areas along tract lines shall be provided, especially adjacent to farms. Where the standards in the A-4 District differ from other provisions of this chapter, the A-4 standards shall apply. See § 102-98.
B. Principal permitted uses on land and in buildings. The following shall be permitted as principal uses:
(1) Small lot single-family homes, detached single-family condominium homes, two-family homes, quadplexes, patio homes, atrium houses, townhouses, garden apartments and other forms of owner-occupied and/or renter-occupied housing, provided that said units comply with the State Housing Code and other applicable local and state codes and ordinances.

These facilities shall be located on common property in multifamily and mixed housing developments and shall be owned and operated by a homeowners' association, established in accordance with § 102-95, with membership and/or use open only to residents of the development and their quests. The outdoor recreation facilities are for use only during daylight hours and shall not be lighted. Such facilities require major site plan approval.
(2) Mailboxes, lampposts, flagpoles, driveways, sidewalks, fences and walls and similar structures are permitted on common property and on individually subdivided lots without site plan approval, provided that they meet all applicable ordinance requirements. See also § 102-87.

(4) Off-street parking areas and private garages if attached to the associated principal structures.
(5) Travel trailers, camper trailers, boats and boat trailers may be parked only in specially designated parking areas as part of a planned development.

(b) The erection of senior citizens housing, for persons aged 62 years and over, in the A-4 District is permitted, provided that the development incorporates the income limits required in § 102-97 and incorporates the housing type, number of units, site design and unit distribution according to applicable state/federal program guidelines and provided that the required deed restrictions are applied to the project as required in § 102-97, with the addition of the age limitations of its occupants. No senior citizen project shall exceed a density of 10 units per gross acre. A senior citizen project shall have a maximum of three stories as seen from any side and a maximum height of 40 feet.
(3) In each multifamily development, a landscaped buffer area at least 25 feet wide along perimeter streets shall be incorporated in the perimeter setback area set forth in E(4) below.

A minimum buffer area of 10 feet shall be provided between adjacent lower-income and market unit areas internal to the tract. The buffers shall be designed and planted to meet the objectives of § 102-90 as may be modified under the waiver provisions of § 102-85H(5).

H. Waivers for lower-income housing. The approving authority, when acting upon an application which includes provisions for lower-income housing in accordance with § 102-97 and the A-4 District, shall waive those portions of the following standards if they do not create health and safety concerns for either the Township or the future residents of a development.
(1) For streets internal to the development, curbs and gutters may be waived, except in locations where drainage control and/or erosion control are necessary. When curbs and/or gutters are required, they shall conform to § 102-53.
(2) Piped stormwater drainage systems may be waived with swales substituted, except in situations where swales are likely to increase erosion control problems. If used, swales shall have a bottom elevation that will allow any water under the roadway to seep out and drain away, have side slopes no steeper than three horizontal to one vertical, have a flat four-foot-wide bottom, be planted to stabilize the soil along the sides and bottom according to the soil types, have capacity for the computed runoff, be sloped to handle the rate of runoff while not eroding the soil and allow a design flow of at least 0.5 foot per second, but not more than two feet per second. Intersections shall be crowned to assure positive drainage into the swales. Where pipes are installed at road/driveway crossings or other required locations, the pipes shall be continuations of the swales and shall be of adequate size.

Where installed, lighting shall meet the requirements and/or objectives of § 102-117.
(4) Off-street parking designs may have waivers of some, but not all, landscaping requirements and may not be required to install curbing around all parking lots. Curbing will be required, however, where drainage control is needed and where erosion potential cannot adequately be addressed by alternate method.
(5) Shade tree planting and landscaping may be reduced, but not eliminated.
(6) Sidewalks shall be installed in locations determined by the approving authority to be in the interest of public safety and proper pedestrian circulation. Sidewalks need not follow all streets and in some instances may be better to follow open space corridors. The determination of whether sidewalks are needed and where they are best located shall be based on public safety, considering the intensity of development, the probable volume of pedestrian traffic, the adjoining street classification where sidewalks parallel streets, access to school bus stops, recreation areas and the general type of improvement intended. If required, sidewalks shall meet the requirements of § 102-72.

School buses may be parked on school grounds as allowed by these development regulations or in the duly established municipal parking lot. This subsection shall not apply to registered farm vehicles, as defined in N.J.S.A. 39:3-24, 39:3-25 and 39:3-26 and the various amendments thereto. [Added 6-30-2004]
