304 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE AUGUST 2019 than what the NJ Department of Transportation (NJDOT) could have required from the developer based upon NJDOT regulations, and were only feasible by creating a zoning overlay with specific performance standards. We have shared our success throughout the state, and believe that there is no reason that other municipalities cannot follow a similar format to attain off- site roadway improvements that are otherwise unattainable given limited state resources.” The developer opted to exercise the option to build a transit village, known as Main Street North Brunswick, consisting of 1,875 housing units and over one million square feet of retail space. As part of the township’s focus on affordable housing for all income levels, approximately 13 percent of the housing units had to be restricted for occupancy by low and moderate income households. “The performance-based zoning not only addressed a regional need for a rail station in the busiest section of the Northeast Corridor line, but also solved a regional traffic congestion problem that had no realistic alternative solution,” says Vigna. “The unacceptable traffic delays encountered by anyone travelling through the township now seem like a distant memory.” In addition, the ordinance incorporated numerous density bonuses to achieve environmental sustainability goals. For example, 10 percent of the energy projected to be consumed on the tract, as determined by estimated energy demand, must be generated from renewable sources, requiring the developer to provide the Planning Board an analysis of energy usage each time a new building is presented for approval. There was also a density bonus if the big box retailers installed solar panels on their roofs, resulting in both Costco and Target having solar arrays on their roofs. Other density bonuses incentivize the developer to design each building to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards. The ordinance prohibits the use of potable water for uses such as irrigation, and also provides density bonuses for additional housing units if electric vehicle charging stations are provided on site.
