BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt at Second Reading for ZOA #21-221, Inglewood Park West Planned Unit Development
BACKGROUND:

Petition ZOA #21-221 and RZ 21-03 Inglewood Park West PUD was received by the Township on July 22, 2021 requesting a map amendment to rezone two (2) parcels, L-12-20-400-013 and L-12-21-300-010, to a Planned Unit Development (PUD), in order to construct a mixed-use development of 106 Townhome units (clusters of 4 to 6 units each), 76 Duplex units, and approximately ±100,000 square foot flex office/industrial space.


The 70-acre site is primarily vacant, has been most recently farmed, and portions are encumbered by regulated wetlands. All vehicular access will be provided from Lavender Lane / Avis Drive. The development will contain private roads designed at 55-foot private road cross-sections. The site is proposed to be serviced with public sewer and water. Stormwater management is proposed to be addressed through infiltration throughout the site and one (1) large stormwater detention basin south of the residential portion of the development.


The total open space for the residential portion of the development is 58.5% of the 70.24-acre site (gross) – approximately 41 acres. The majority of the open space area will remain in a natural state (southern portion of the site abutting Textile Road).   Other sustainability measures include electric vehicle ready garages. solar energy ready roof (preparation only), low impact stormwater management, energy savings options, carbon reduction, and non-motorized infrastructure.
