Lot area shall include all land within the boundaries of any recorded lot except land that lies within an established road right-of-way.

Lot width shall be measured across the lot along the front building setback line between side lot lines. The setback line shall be located on the property a specific distance from the right-of-way line to which the property has access.

Lot frontage shall be measured along the road right-of-way which abuts the property and on which the property has its principal access. If the road right-of-way is 33 feet wide, the lot frontage will be measured along a parallel line 16 1/2 feet from the center line of the cartway.

Both lots will meet the minimum area and width requirements;

The rear lot is connected to the public road by a right-of-way at least 16 feet in width;

The area of the right-of-way is not included in the area of either lot for determining minimum lot area or width;

The right-of-way will not be extended to serve additional lots or properties; and

Principal buildings on the two lots shall be set back at least 25 feet from the lot line common to both lots.

Generally, a lot shall contain only one principal permitted or approved conditional or special exception use or only one principal building plus accessory buildings. However, an agricultural operation property may contain a dwelling as well as all necessary buildings for that agricultural operation. A commercial or multi-family residential development may occupy several buildings on the same property.

Buildings required in the active operation of agricultural uses are exempt from the requirements of this section;

A dwelling may be located in one accessory building on a property, provided such building is constructed and located in compliance with all area and dimensional standards established for the district wherein the accessory building is proposed.

Off-street parking, loading and unloading facilities shall be provided to lessen congestion in public streets. The facilities required herein shall be available throughout the hours of operation of the particular business or use for which such facilities are provided. As used herein, the term "parking space" includes either covered garage space or uncovered parking lot space located off the public right-of-way.

Each parking space shall consist of not less than 180 square feet of usable area for each motor vehicle, excluding interior driveways, driveways connecting the garage, or parking space, with a street or alley. Notwithstanding the above, all parking spaces shall be ample in size for the vehicles for which use is intended. The net parking space per vehicle shall be not less than nine feet wide and 20 feet long. Outdoor parking spaces, and the approaches thereto, shall be paved, or covered with a dustless compacted surface. Such outdoor parking space shall be deemed to be part of the open space of the lot on which it is located.

A garage or carport may be located wholly or partly inside the walls of the principal building, or attached to the outer walls. If separated from the principal building, the garage shall conform to all accessory building requirements. The garage may be constructed under a yard. The space above an underground garage shall be deemed to be part of the open space of the lot on which it is located.

(Reserved)

Surfacing. Any off-street parking area shall be graded for proper drainage and shall be provided with a durable and dustless surface, and shall be so arranged as to provide for orderly and safe parking and storage of all vehicles.

Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate any off-street parking area shall be so arranged as to reflect the light away from adjoining premises in any R District. Lighting for use by residential property owners shall be aimed downward to illuminate individual driveways or parking spaces.

There shall be adequate provision for ingress and egress to all parking and loading spaces. Where a parking or loading area does not abut on a public right-of-way or easement of access, there shall be provided an access drive not less than 12 feet in width in the case of a dwelling, and not less than 20 feet in width in all other cases, leading to the parking or storage areas or loading or unloading spaces required hereunder.

All buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established after the adoption of this section shall be provided with off-street parking spaces as set forth in this section.

The provisions of this section, except where there is a change of use, shall not apply to any existing building or structure.

Whenever a building or structure constructed before the effective date of this section is changed or enlarged in floor area, number of employees, number of housing units, seating capacity or otherwise to create a need for an increase in the number of parking spaces, additional parking spaces shall be provided on the basis of the enlargement or change. If a building or structure existing prior to the effective date of this section is enlarged to the extent of 50% or more in floor area or number of housing units it shall then and thereafter comply with the full parking requirements set forth herein.

Off-street parking facilities in existence on the effective date of this section and located on the same lot as the building or use served shall not hereafter be reduced below the requirements for a similar new building or use under the provisions of this section.

Residential parking.

Commercial parking. The following regulations shall be applied to retail, office and highway services hereafter erected:

Light industrial or manufacturing parking. Off-street parking shall be provided on the premises in accordance with the following schedule:

Loading and unloading space.

Floodplain delineation. One-hundred-year floodplains shall be delineated by accepted analytical procedures approved by the Township Engineer.

Floodplain development. Development activities shall be regulated as per the provisions of current floodplain regulations, as amended from time to time, and applicable commonwealth regulations, specifically Chapter 105, Title 25, of the Pennsylvania Code.

Steep slopes. In areas of steep slopes, i.e., those above 15%, the following standards shall apply:

Forest. No more than 50% of any forest as defined may be cleared or developed.

Ponds, watercourses or wetlands. No development, filling, piping or diverting shall be permitted except for required roads and utility line extensions, unless permitted by the appropriate state, county or regulatory agency.

Stormwater drainage and management. All plans shall comply with the provisions of state and local regulations in effect at the time of final approval.

Soil erosion and sedimentation. With any earth disturbance there shall be control of erosion and the protection of streams and ponds from sedimentation in accordance with the Clean Streams Law, P.L. 1987, Chapter 102 of Title 25 of the Pennsylvania Code, and the "Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Manual" of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. In addition, a Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ES and SC Plan) shall be required as part of the application for any Township permit where earth disturbance or excavation will occur. As a minimum, where sediment can be transported away from the disturbed area, a silt fence or straw bale barrier shall be erected and maintained in working order until vegetation is fully established or erosion-resistant ground cover has been installed. Additional sediment pollution control measures may be required where land development is more extensive than single-family construction.

All permanent bulk outdoor storage facilities for fuel over 500 gallons, raw materials and products and all fuel, raw materials and products stored outdoors, shall be enclosed by an approved safety fence.

No materials or wastes shall be deposited upon a lot in such form or manner that they may be transported off the lot by natural causes or forces; nor shall any substance which can contaminate wells, watercourses, or potable water supplies otherwise render such wells, watercourses, or potable water supplies undesirable as sources of water supply or recreation; nor shall any substance which will destroy aquatic life be allowed to enter any wells, watercourses, or potable water supplies. A Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection approved plan for spill containment shall be submitted to the Township for review by the Township Engineer prior to the issuance of any required permit.

Any materials or wastes which might cause fumes or dust or which constitute a fire hazard or which may be edible or otherwise attractive to rodents or insects shall be stored outdoors only if enclosed in containers adequate to eliminate such hazards.

In the L-1 Light Industrial and H-C Highway Commercial zoning districts, all movable equipment repair done on the property shall be performed within an enclosed building, except that minor maintenance activities may be completed on the exterior of a lot where space has been provided for the temporary parking or storage of vehicles and movable equipment.

In residentially zoned areas, minor vehicle maintenance activities may be conducted in driveways, but in no case shall repairs be made on vehicles and movable equipment which would result in the permanent storage of said vehicles or movable equipment on the exterior of the lot.
