Cranbury Township adopts long-awaited scenic corridor overlay ordinance
The Cranbury Township Committee has adopted an amended scenic overlay corridor zone ordinance after a robust debate took place between the committee, professionals and the public.
The scenic corridor overlay preserves the open space corridors of front property line of six of main roadways in Cranbury: Dey Road, Plainsboro Road, Cranbury Neck Road, John White and George Davison Road, and Ancil Davison Road. The zone would be land in the agricultural preservation district and residential light impact district.
The ordinance discourages any building, parking lot, lighting, street lighting and planting in 400-feet on either side of the six roads. Township officials said it is designed to discourage any obstruction to the open view.
