Mixed-Use Age-Restricted District

The intent of the Mixed-Use Age-Restricted MU-AR District is to promote residential and community commercial development on appropriately located tracts of land in the non-Pinelands areas of the Township, especially designed to meet the special housing needs of older persons, with special emphasis on their particular physical and social needs, and the housing needs of low- and moderate-income persons. The parcels of land assembled for these developments shall be of sufficient size to permit the unified development of tracts of land with primary access to the principal or collector roads of the Township.; It is the policy of the Township to permit additional opportunities for senior housing that: Provide for the present and future community needs for both affordable and market-rate age-restricted housing in appropriate locations.; Allow innovation in the design of housing by providing flexible design standards, which relate to the type and layout of residential development on a particular site.; Protect environmentally sensitive lands by requiring that the more fragile areas of the site remain in permanent preserved open space.
