• A landscaped setback should be provided along both Far Hills and Schantz Avenues.
  • The architecture and landscaping treatment within the property should be compatible with surrounding existing development.
  • New construction should be limited to three to four stories; somewhat taller buildings might be considered for those portions of the area where topographic changes can be used to conceal views from adjacent neighborhoods.
  • The owners and developers of property within the property should be encouraged to provide special design amenities which can help the City achieve its overall objectives for this important and highly visible property.

Other Commercial Areas

Several smaller commercial areas are located in the following locations. These areas should remain small and compact, and should not be expanded in the future.

  • Far Hills and Schantz Avenues, including legal and real estate offices;
  • Springhouse Road and Oakwood Avenue, including the US Post Office and Routsong Funeral Home; and
  • Shroyer Road and Acorn Drive, including a day spa and other services.
