(A) Certain large scale residential developments (being those which include 20 or more lots, parcels or site condominium units in the AG-2, R-l, R-2, and R-3 zoning districts) shall be approved and developed only as planned unit developments (PUD). The regulating of such development on a PUD basis will enable the township to control and moderate the size, scope and impact of such development, in accordance with the Township Master Plan and the purposes of this chapter. The requirements of this section shall apply whether such development involves simple land divisions, platted subdivisions, site condominium units or any other type of land division, conveyance or development resulting in a number of lots, parcels, site condominium units or other land divisions greater than 20.
(B) For purposes of this section, SUBDIVISION includes any lands, whether contiguous or not, if the number of lots, parcels of land, site condominium units or other units or interests more than 11 are offered as part of a common promotional plan for sale or conveyance, or where the subdivision is being developed or is offered for sale, transfer or building construction by one developer or landowner, or more than one developer or landowner, whether acting individually or in concert.
(C) In the AG-2, R-l, R-2, and R-3 zoning districts, no subdivision shall be established or created and no lot, site condominium unit, or parcel of land in a subdivision shall be sold, conveyed, transferred or otherwise established, nor shall any building permit or zoning approval permit be issued, for any land in a subdivision unless such subdivision shall have been approved by the township as a planned unit development (PUD).
(D) If parcels of land are contiguous or if they are known, designated or advertised as a single or common development, or by a single or common name, the land shall be deemed to be offered for disposition as part of a common promotional plan and shall accordingly be deemed to be part of a subdivision, if the total number of lots, parcels of land, site condominium units, other interests, or any combination thereof, exceeds 11.
(E) For purposes of this section CONTIGUOUS land means any additional land adjacent to or adjoining the subdivided or divided land included in any previous subdivision.
(F) If a parcel of land is created, divided or split from or out of another parcel of land, and if either or both of such parcels are further divided, split or site condominium units are created, or if any of such actions is proposed, within seven years after the recording of the first land division or land split, then each parcel shall be considered a subdivision for purposes of this section, and accordingly, each parcel shall be subject to planned unit development (PUD) approval, if the number of lots, parcels of land, or site condominium units created or developed from or out of such parcels or either of them exceeds 20 in total.
