Princeton Junction Redevelopment Plan District

The RP-7 District is intended to create a Main Street on the eastern side of the rail line through small-scale, lot-by-lot incremental development so as to transform the existing more strip commercial form of development into a village form with buildings close to the street and bicycle access. The object is to achieve a desirable mix of commercial, office, civic and residential land uses within a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly, village environment with an emphasis on uses that service local needs. The village is intended to encourage pedestrian flow throughout the area by generally permitting stores and shops and personal service establishments on the ground floor of buildings and promoting the use of upper floors for offices and residential dwelling units. The mechanisms to do this include sharing off-street parking and stormwater detention opportunities; having well-landscaped and appropriate building setbacks from surrounding roads; providing off-street parking that is well screened from public view; controlling means of vehicular access and coordinating internal pedestrian and vehicular traffic flows relating to existing and proposed development patterns; and ensuring design compatibility with existing development that considers building height, materials, colors, landscaping and signage.
