At this meeting, the SPRAB reviewed the above application with the applicant’s attorney and engineer. The applicant is proposing to develop a 496-unit inclusionary multifamily residential development on a vacant 120-acre property in the northwest corner of the Township. The following site plan and design issues were discussed at this meeting: • Parking: It was noted that the submitted site plan (Sheet 3 of 66) has an inconsistency regarding the total number of proposed parking spaces for the property. Specifically, the “Zoning Schedule” table lists the total as 1,035 parking spaces, while the “Overall Development Summary” indicates a total of 1,078 parking spaces. The applicant indicated this issue would be addressed. The applicant was asked whether there would be designated guest parking and it was stated there would be assigned interior parking spaces.
