Lake Mohawk group presents proposed White Deer Plaza historic-district ordinance for board review
Summary
Representatives from Lake Mohawk presented a proposed standalone ordinance for the White Deer Plaza historic district to the planning board; members asked questions about whether daycare uses are retail, treatment of preexisting nonconforming uses, and next steps for legal review.
A representative for the Lake Mohawk group presented a proposed standalone ordinance for the White Deer Plaza Historic District, describing it as "basically fashioned after the existing 1, for, the C 1 H" but specific to White Deer Plaza and listing permitted principal uses and the blocks and lots included. The presenter said hotels, motels and inns are no longer listed as permitted uses in the draft and that the ordinance was approved by Lake Mohawk's internal process.
Board members asked technical questions about how existing daycares would be classified (retail or requiring a special provision), whether language referring back to the C-1 zone was necessary, and requested that the draft be circulated to the township attorney and the board engineer for review. The board agreed to place the ordinance on the next agenda after staff and counsel review.
