Development standards. Two or more principal buildings or uses located on a parcel in single ownership shall conform to all the requirements of this chapter which would normally apply to each building or use if each were on a separate district lot, including but not limited to setbacks, parking, lot coverage, and sewage disposal requirements.

Residential density. For the purposes of density of residential structures, lot size shall be increased to maintain the density required by this chapter. For example, the parcel size required for three single-family dwellings on one parcel would be determined by multiplying the minimum lot size for one dwelling by a factor of three.

Nonresidential uses. In the case of nonresidential uses, there shall be no limit on the number of uses or structures on a single parcel, provided all other standards of this chapter are satisfied. This shall not apply to adult businesses, junkyards, natural resource uses, solid waste facilities, or other uses with a special size requirement listed in this chapter, in which case the parcel size shall be increased to provide for the minimum land area for each use on the parcel.

Residential and nonresidential on the same lot. In the C-1, C-2 and M-1 Districts, one residential unit per property shall be permitted in association with a nonresidential use(s) without an increase in the minimum lot size requirement, provided said unit is attached to and is an integral part of the principal nonresidential structure.

Fences and walls may be erected in front yards; however, no such fence or wall shall encroach upon any public right-of-way.

No fence shall exceed a height of 10 feet except for agricultural fences.

Fences and walls may be erected on a side or rear property line, provided said property line is clearly located and physically marked on the lots by lot line markers placed in accord with a survey conducted by a registered land surveyor, and the owners of said lots present to the Borough a written document executed between said owners establishing agreement for erection of the subject fence or wall.

All fence posts and other structural supports shall be located on the side of said fence towards the interior of the property owned by the person erecting the subject fence.

The home occupation(s) must be conducted entirely inside a building and shall be clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling as a residence.

The total area used by all home occupations on the premises does not exceed 50% of the gross floor area of the dwelling unit including basement and accessory structures as existed at the effective date of this chapter.

No outdoor display or display visible from out of doors or outdoor storage of materials, goods, products, supplies or equipment used in the home occupation(s).

There shall be no evidence visible from outside the dwelling (show windows, business displays, advertising, etc.) that the residence is being operated as a home occupation, except for a sign, if permitted, and required parking area.

The home occupation shall be conducted only by members of the family residing in the dwelling and not more than two persons other than residents of the dwelling shall be employed on the premises, with not more than a total of four residents and nonresidents permitted.

Off-street parking shall be provided on the premises as required by this chapter to prevent parking on any public or private street right-of-way.

No home occupation use shall generate nuisances such as traffic, noise, vibration, glare, odors, fumes, electrical interference, or hazards to any greater extent than what is usually experienced in the residential neighborhood.

No goods or items for retail or wholesale sale shall be stored on the premises except for items handcrafted on the premises or goods and items incidental to the operation of an approved home occupation with the total display and/or storage area limited to 200 square feet.

The use shall not require servicing by or parking of tractor-trailer trucks.

One two-sided sign not exceeding four square feet in area shall be permitted to identify the home occupation(s).

Section 400-29, Performance standards, shall also apply to home occupations.

The following uses shall not be permitted as home occupations: commercial stables, veterinarians, commercial kennels or motor vehicle or small engine repair shops, retail or wholesale sales, restaurants, funeral parlors or other uses not meeting the requirements of this § 400-17C.

The following types of uses shall be permitted as accessory uses in all districts:

All applications for home occupations not specifically enumerated as permitted in § 400-17C(13) or excluded by § 400-17C(12)shall be considered conditional uses.

Private outdoor swimming pools are permitted as an accessory use to a residential structure, provided that such swimming pool is for the private use of the residents of the dwelling unit or for their guests. Pools and decks shall comply with setbacks for accessory structures.

A fence, wall or other enclosure not less than four feet high and of a design to restrict access shall completely surround the area of any ground-level swimming pool. This enclosure shall be designed to be difficult for children to climb or slip through. All gates or door openings through such enclosure shall be self-closing and include a self-latching device on the pool side for keeping the gate or door securely closed when the pool is not in use.

Aboveground pools shall include a secure fence, wall or other enclosure a minimum of four feet high above the surrounding ground level. This enclosure may include the walls of the pool itself. Such pools shall be equipped with an access ladder that can be raised and locked in a position so that it is a minimum of four feet above the surrounding ground level or otherwise completely inaccessible to children when the pool is unattended.

Access to all pools shall be restricted when the pool is not in use, whether by fence, wall or integrated in the design of the pool. A pool cover shall not be deemed adequate to meet this requirement.

A zoning permit or fence shall not be required for wading pools where the water does not exceed 10 inches in depth and which are not normally filled on a constant basis.

The Borough does not assume the responsibility of guaranteeing to the public that all pools comply with the provisions of this § 400-17F.

Farm ponds and decorative ponds shall be exempt from this § 400-17F.

Each individual property location may have a maximum of three yard sales during any one calendar year. Each sale shall last a maximum of three consecutive days.

Any structure or building which is hereafter erected, converted or enlarged for any of the following uses, or any open area hereafter used for commercial purposes, shall be provided with off-street parking spaces adequate to serve such use, but with not less than the minimum spaces as set forth in the following table, which spaces shall be readily accessible to the uses served thereby. Fractional numbers of parking spaces shall be increased to the next whole number.

For projects involving more than one use and/or structure, the total number of parking spaces required shall be determined by the sum of the number of spaces for each individual use.

Additional parking for the handicapped shall be provided in accord with § 400-18N.

Should the applicant for a nonresidential use provide evidence that the number of parking spaces required by this § 400-18 is not necessarily required to meet the immediate needs of the proposed use, the number of spaces provided may be reduced as a conditional use by a maximum of 50%, provided sufficient and suitable area is dedicated to future parking to meet the normal standards in this § 400-18 and the applicant shall agree in writing to install the parking at the direction of the Borough Council. Reserve parking areas shall be included in the calculation of lot coverage area. Parking facilities used jointly by two or more principal uses may be considered for a parking reduction (see § 400-18K).

For uses not specifically provided above, the Borough shall determine the required number of spaces based upon the similarity of the proposed use to the uses provided.

Width. Unless otherwise required by PennDOT for access to a state road, the width of the driveway/accessway onto a public street at the edge of the cartway shall be as follows:

Controlled access. Each entrance and exit shall be clearly defined with curbing, fencing, landscaping or vegetative screening so as to prevent access to the area from other than the defined entrance and exit.

Highway occupancy permit. A Borough or state highway occupancy permit, as applicable, shall be required for any new or escalated access to any public street or any other regulated activity within the right-of-way.
