H. Required land use development staging.
(1) As a condition to preliminary approval of a planned unit development plan, the Planning Board may permit the implementation of the plan in whole or in sections or in stages consisting of one or more sections or stages, under the sequence of actions determined as a part of the development plan. Such sections or stages shall be:
(a) Substantially and functionally self-contained and self-sustaining with regard to access, parking, utilities, open spaces and similar physical features and shall be capable of substantial occupancy, operation and maintenance upon completion of construction and development.
(b) Properly related to other services of the community as a whole and to those facilities and services yet to be provided in the full execution and implementation of the development plan.
(c) Provided with such temporary or permanent transitional features, buffers or protective areas as the Planning Board may require as will prevent damage or detriment to any completed section or stage, to other sections or stages and to adjoining properties not in the development plan. Plans and specifications of such sections or stages are to be filed with the Planning Board and are to be of sufficient detail and at such scale as to fully demonstrate the following:
[1] The arrangement and site locations of all structures, primary and accessory land uses, parking, landscaping, public and private utilities and service facilities and land ownership conditions.
[2] Estimates of the economic base of the section or stage and its one or more sections or stages as supported by such evidence as the estimated cost and market values of structures and land improvement increase of taxable values; costs of maintenance and services to be borne by public and private agencies; potential rental scale costs of utility installation; the financial ability of the developer to complete the plan and such other financial considerations as the Planning Board shall deem applicable.
[3] Estimates of its population characteristics such as the size and composition of future population in terms of probable family sizes of the several dwelling unit types; their need for public services and protection, for recreational facilities and for commercial and professional services; anticipated rental scales; and related consideration.
[4] Such further reasonable evidence and fact that the Planning Board may require in order to determine that the objectives and standards set forth herein are met.
[5] Upon finding that the plan and specifications for the proposed development of the section or stage conform to the above conditions, the Planning Board shall so inform the administrative officers as are charged with the issuance of permits for the construction of utilities or structures that upon presentation of requisite working drawings and specifications such permits may be issued. Upon substantial completion of any section or stage, which shall include all performance bonds, covenants and similar instruments to assure such completion, and before proceeding with the review and approval of additional sections or stages, the Planning Board may require a report and review of the status, character and conditions and other previous completed sections or stages with regard to their compliance with the plans, specifications and estimates which formed the basis for their action and approval. Upon finding that such compliance has occurred, the Board shall begin proceedings for the review of the new section or stage.
[6] As a further condition for approval of later sections or stages, the Board may require or permit adjustments or modifications in the conditions established in the approved development plan to compensate for differences between the estimates of record on previously approved and completed sections or stages as required and the actual conditions prevailing upon their completion. In this regard, consideration may be given to the balance of land uses established consistent with the conditions of the development plan and the extent of variation from the social and economic estimates upon which previous approval may have been based.
(2) Notwithstanding the aforementioned conditions and regulations, the following schedule for land development prevails. Following preliminary approval of the development plan, building permit shall be issued for the development plan in accord with the following;
(a) No building permit shall be issued for more than 25% of the residential units until at least 15% of the total commercial development contemplated by the total development plan has been issued.

No further residential permits shall be issued until an additional 25% of the total contemplated commercial development is constructed, for which certificates of occupancy are issued.
(c) Following the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the additional 25% of the commercial building area, building permits may be issued for the plan. No further residential permits shall be issued until an additional 35% of the total of the commercial development contemplated has been constructed and for which certificates of occupancy have been issued.
(d) Following issuance of certificates of occupancy for 75% of the commercial areas of the development plan, then the building permits may be issued for the balance of the residential dwelling units of the development plan.

The Planning Board is hereby authorized to make such modifications of standards and requirements otherwise required of subdivisions as set forth in the Land Subdivision Ordinance of the Township of Egg Harbor as long as such modifications are consistent with the terms of this section, except that the following minimum standards shall apply:
[1] The right-of-way and pavement widths for internal ways, roads and alleys serving townhouse clusters and commercial and industrial developments shall be determined from sound planning and engineering standards in conformity to the estimated needs of the full development proposed and the traffic to be generated thereby and shall be adequate and sufficient in size, location and design to accommodate the maximum traffic, parking and loading needs and the access of firefighting equipment and police vehicles and shall be certified thereto by a competent expert or experts licensed under the laws of the State of New Jersey. In such instance, other provisions of this section shall not apply but may serve as general guides to the Planning Board in approving the development plans. Internal private roads shall have a required pavement width as follows:
[a] One-way traffic roads: 20 feet of pavement width.
[b] Two-way traffic roads: 30 feet of pavement width.
[c] Sidewalks shall be at least three feet in width.

[3] In addition to all other standards, conditions or requirements set forth in this section, all site and building plans shall be reviewed by the Planning Board in regard to safety and convenience of traffic access and parking, disposition and usability of open space, compatibility of building types, building construction, floor plans and other factors relating to site design. Said site review will also include site design as it fits in with the general development of the entire development plan area.
