The proposed site is in the township's R-3A zoning district and consistent with the township’s zoning plan, according to review by the township and listed on the meeting agenda on the township’s website.
The area surrounding the property of the proposed community is developed with a variety of residential uses, including two special care communities — Horizons at the Village at Whitehall and Fellowship Community.
Further plans submitted by WB Homes must demonstrate the building design meets the architectural requirements.
The design includes requirements for access, parking, streets and pedestrian walkways, landscaping, utilities, trash loading and deliveries.
