The Jackson Township Council voted to approve an ordinance aimed at curbing overdevelopment in the township, fulfilling a campaign promise at the center of last November’s general election.
According to the ordinance, the municipal land use code would be amended to reduce the number of homes that can be built per acre within the Highway Commercial Mixed-Use (HCMU) Zone.
Per the language of the new ordinance, residential units would now be limited per usable acres: “The maximum number of dwelling units, including affordable units, is four units per acre dedicated to residential use.”
The ordinance affects the area where the Adventure Crossing Development planned, in the area of six Flags Great Adventure, which was being marketed as a potential site for 1,200 new residential units.
The project’s developer, Vito Cardinale, is threatening to sue the township over the ordinance, saying it targets him specifically.
