A. Purpose. The purpose of the Pinelands Environmental Development District is to implement a new zoning district within the rural development management area of the Pinelands Area that will permit low-density residential development with a development option for a planned retirement community that requires the development to be located away from environmentally sensitive lands. Specifically, the development will be directed away from areas identified as habitat for threatened and/or endangered species toward designated development "receiving areas." The PED will allow for coordinated development on contiguous lands within the Toms River Corridor in Jackson and Manchester Townships. The Pinelands Environmental Development District is comprised of a PED-9 Zone and a PED-1 Zone. The PED-9 Zone permits single-family detached housing units on lots of nine acres and the PED-1 Zone permits single-family detached housing units on lots 3.2 acres. Both the PED-9 and PED-1 require cluster development on one-acre lots. The Pinelands Environmental Development District permits development at a higher density for planned retirement communities, provided that all development is clustered within the PED-1 Zone and that the designated sending areas (PED-9) are deed restricted in accordance with Pinelands Commission regulations for intermunicipal transfers.
B. Maximum density. The maximum number of dwelling units within a planned retirement community within the PED district shall not exceed a total of 600 single-family detached dwelling units. The maximum number of units that may be generated from Block 62, Lots 30, 31 and 32 in Manchester is 330, as specified in the settlement agreement between Manchester Development Group, LLC, and Manchester Township. The maximum number of single-family detached age-restricted dwelling units that may be generated from Block 54, Lots 26 and 28 in Jackson Township is 250. In order to effectuate the development transfer, an intermunicipal agreement between Jackson and Manchester shall be executed and the applicant shall submit a general development plan in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-45.1 and applicable municipal ordinances.
C. Permitted uses. The following uses shall be permitted in the PED. District:
(1) Single-family detached housing in accordance with the standards set forth below:
(a) PED-9. One single-family dwelling unit per nine acres (0.111 du/acre). All development shall be clustered on lots a minimum of one acre in size in accordance with the standards set forth in § 244-89A(1)(a)[2] through [4]. Clustered developments shall be designed to protect the particular environmental attributes of the site, to maintain the conservation area in an undisturbed state, to promote the establishment of greenways on adjacent sites and to maximize the contiguity of protected lands as a means to providing habitat for threatened and endangered plant and animal species. The developed area shall be located and designed to promote efficient use of the existing infrastructure (roads, utilities, etc.) and coordinate with development on adjacent parcels. The design shall be subject to review and approval of the Planning Board and the Pinelands Commission. Permitted development may be transferred to a PED-1 Zoning District with the use of the PED planned retirement community option in accordance with Subsection C(2) below.
(b) PED-1. One single-family dwelling unit per 3.2 acres (0.313 du/acre). All development shall be clustered on lots a minimum of one acre in size in accordance with the standards set forth in Subsection C(1)(a) above.
(2) PED planned retirement community development option. The PED planned retirement community development option allows for the transfer of units from Jackson Township to Manchester Township. The planned retirement community option shall be permitted within the PED-1 and PED-9 Zones, provided that the plan conforms to the conditions set forth in Manchester Township's Land Use and Development Regulations Section 35-34.22(c)(2) and (3) are met.
(3) Agriculture.
(4) Places of worship, such as churches, synagogues, parish houses, convents and the like, sub ject to the conditions set forth in § 244-115.
(5) Municipal parks and playgrounds and other municipal uses deemed appropriate and nec essary by the Township Committee.
(6) Other public buildings of a governmental or cultural nature.
D. Accessory uses. Accessory uses shall be the same as those permitted in the PV Zone.
