Patios may be located in the required side and rear yards not closer than three feet to any adjacent property line, and may project into front yards not closer than 10 feet to the street right-of-way line.

Because the Borough finds that they are temporary, removable structures, awnings and projecting signs may project over the property line into the state or Borough right-of-way a distance of not more than five feet from the building to which they are affixed. If the Borough has granted an easement so that a building legally encroaches into the state or Borough right-of-way the encroachment shall be measured from the edge of the easement. A safe height (of 10 feet for a sign and seven feet for a awning) over any public walkway shall be maintained from the lowest point of these features.

The relocation of lot lines, or a portions thereof, to accommodate the good faith, legal placement of a principal structure, an accessory structure on a permanent foundation (as opposed to a shed or other moveable structure) or a septic system shall be permitted in accord with this Subsection I. When the placement of a principal structure, an accessory structure on a permanent foundation (as opposed to a shed or other moveable structure) or septic system occurred in good faith and in accord with regulations in place at time, but the location is later determined to violate lot boundary lines, setback lines or other legal restrictions, lot lines and lot area may be modified to become nonconforming without a variance to remedy that violation if:

A variance shall be required for any decrease in width or length of more than 10%, any lot transfer or swap in excess of 5%, or any other increase in nonconformity.

Subdivision approval shall be required in accord with Chapter 265, Subdivision and Land Development.

Conditional use and information required.

Sewage disposal. Adequate sewage disposal shall be provided for all uses on the site, and no permit shall be issued until this is documented by the applicant, and the SEO has notified the Zoning Officer, in writing, that the requirements of Chapter 232, Sewers, for the proposed uses have been met. All applicants shall submit an application pursuant to Milford Borough Chapter 232, Sewers, for a permit for the multiple-use site. If there is no existing building and sewage system, the application shall meet current state and local standards. If the application is for a conversion to a multiple-use site, the application shall include all relevant data as set forth in the Sewers chapter.

Permits. The permit issued for a multiple-use site shall specify the total number of individual uses permitted on the lot and the types of each use permitted.

Modification of uses after permit approval.

Development standards. Except as provided in Subsection A(7) of this section, 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. More than one residential structure shall not be permitted on the same lot in any zoning district, except that one garage apartment shall be allowed in accordance with this chapter.

Residential and nonresidential in C and LC district commercial buildings. Dwelling units shall be permitted on the upper floors of nonresidential buildings. The number of dwelling units need not comply with the density requirements on the Schedule of Development Standards,[1] provided the required number of off-street parking spaces are provided, adequate sewage disposal is provided, required setbacks are maintained, and all other chapter provisions are satisfied. The number of efficiency units shall be limited to 25% of the total number of dwelling units.

Structure separation.

A principal building shall be permitted only upon a lot with frontage on a public street or alley, or on a private street improved to Borough standards.

Where an existing individual lot abuts only an alley, the alley shall be construed as a street for application of all the requirements of this chapter. In cases where a lot abuts an alley, access to residential garages and parking areas shall be from the alley only.

Unattached structures accessory to a residential building. Structures accessory to residential buildings which are not attached to a principal structure may be erected within the required side and rear yards of a principal structure only in conformance with following:

Unattached structures accessory to a nonresidential building. Such accessory structures shall comply with front and side yard requirements for the principal structure and shall have a rear yard of at least 10 feet.

Fences, terraces, walkways and walls.

Commercial use of existing accessory structures. Accessory structures existing in the C and LC Districts at the effective date of this Subsection D may be appropriate to obtain a permit for any nonresidential use as classified in the LC Schedule of Uses provided all other provisions of this chapter, other than setbacks, and all other applicable ordinances are satisfied. Parking shall be provided in accord with § 312-23D(2).

Merchants in the Commercial District may, as a conditional use display merchandise for sale or rent in connection with retail sales, equipment rental, road side stands or shopping centers/malls uses, for which permits have been issued under this chapter, under the following conditions:

Floor space for the home occupation shall not occupy more than 25% of the dwelling unit floor area. The absolute maximum floor space for a home occupation and its related storage shall be 600 square feet. Garages, attics, basements and accessory buildings are included in the calculation for the maximum floor space. Home occupations may be conducted in a garage.

Employees of a home occupation shall be residents of the dwelling unit, except that a doctor may employ a nurse, an attorney a secretary, etc.

Outside storage of home occupation materials is prohibited.

Outside illumination shall be for safety reasons only and shall not be for advertising such as flood lighting or facade wash lighting. Illumination even in parking areas shall be indirect.

One sign for the home occupation is permitted and shall be further controlled as follows:

Home occupation activities shall be clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling unit for residential purposes and home occupations shall be further limited to the following: secretarial services, accounting, office for state or federally licensed professional occupation, nursery or school for not more than 10 persons attending at one time, the training or tutoring of up to four adults in small classes, custom clothes alterations, and the production of small items made from raw material on site. No other home occupations of any kind will be permitted.

No equipment or process shall be used in such home occupation, which creates noise, vibration, glare, fumes, odors, or electrical interference detectable to the normal senses off the lot. In the case of electrical interference, no equipment or process shall be used which creates visual or audible interference in any radio or television receivers or which causes fluctuations in line voltage off the lot.

There shall be no change in the existing outside appearance of the building or premises or other visible evidence of the conduct of such home occupation other than a sign.

The use shall not require pickup or delivery or other servicing by a vehicle of more than 19,500 pounds registered gross vehicle weight (Federal Highway Administration Class 5). The use shall not involve the parking of more than one truck of any type on the premises or on adjacent streets at any period of time, and no truck in excess of 19,500 pounds registered gross vehicle weight (Federal Highway Administration Class 5) shall be parked on the premises or on adjacent streets.

The business activity shall be compatible with the residential use of the property and surrounding residential uses.

The businesses shall employ no other employees other than family members residing in the dwelling.

There shall be no display or sale of retail goods and no stockpiling or inventory of a substantial nature.

There shall be no outside appearance of a business use, including, but not limited to, parking, signs or lights.

The business activity may not use any equipment or process which creates noise, vibration, glare, fumes, odors or electrical or electronic interference, including interference with radio or television reception, which is detectable in the neighborhood.

The business activity may not generate any solid waste or sewage discharge, in volume or type, which is not normally associated with residential use in the neighborhood.

The business activity shall be conducted only within the dwelling and may not occupy more than 25% of the habitable floor area.

The business may not involve any illegal activity.

Accessory use. A single private outdoor swimming pool per dwelling unit is 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.

Setbacks. The pool may be located within the required rear yard except that no portion of the water in the pool shall be located closer to the property line than 10 feet and no portion of any walks or accessory pool appurtenances surrounding the water shall be closer than six feet to any property line.

Fence. All pools shall be surrounded and enclosed by a four-foot high fence structurally suitable to deter direct access to the water in the pool. Fences shall be constructed of weather-resistive materials and shall be assembled or fabricated with sufficient rigidity to prevent any substantial alteration or deformation of the lawful openings, holes or gaps. The fence shall not have openings, holes or gaps larger than four inches in width or, if larger than four inches in width, no larger than four inches in length except for doors or gates. If a picket fence is used the horizontal dimensions between slats shall not exceed four inches. A dwelling or accessory building may be used as a part of such a fence. However, hedges shall not be used as such enclosure in part or whole.

Gates and doors. All gates or doors accessing the pool shall be equipped with a self-closing and self-latching device designed to keep, and capable of keeping, such door or gate securely closed at all times when the pool is not in actual use. The door of any dwelling forming any part of the enclosure need not be so equipped.

Above-ground pools. The sides of a pool constructed above the ground level shall be considered to meet the requirements for a fence preventing direct access to the pool, provided that such sides of the pool are at least four feet high. Any stairs, steps or ladders used to reach the water surface of the pool shall be removable or capable of being folded up or secured in a way which will prevent their use when the pool is not in use.

Permits. All pools which meet the definition of "swimming pool, private outdoor" in Article III shall require a zoning permit.

Existing pools. The above requirements for providing safe enclosure around a swimming pool primarily by fencing shall also apply to all existing swimming pools, as well as to new swimming pools.

Decorative ponds. Decorative ponds shall be exempt from this Subsection G.

The facilities shall be available throughout the hours of operation of the particular business or use for which such facilities are provided.

The facilities shall have adequate and well-designed ingress and egress and shall be located on the same lot as the use to which they are accessory.

The facilities shall be located on the same lot as the use to which they are accessory. However, required parking may be provided on a different lot than on the lot on which the principal use is located as a conditional use. The parking shall not be more than 400 feet from the principal use lot. Off-lot parking areas for uses in the C District and LC District shall not be permitted in the R District. Both parcels shall be under the same control, either by deed or long-term lease, as the property occupied by such principal use, and the owner shall be bound by covenants of record filed in the office of the County Recorder of Deeds requiring the owner and his or her heirs and assigns to maintain the required number of off-street parking spaces during the existence of said principal use. The Council may attach reasonable conditions to the grant of any permit hereunder such as adequate screening or buffers from neighboring properties.

A driveway and garage parking space may be used to satisfy the parking requirement if in fact these spaces are usable for parking.

New construction. In the case of the development of a vacant lot or the razing of an existing structure and the redevelopment of a lot, no parking shall be permitted anywhere between the public road right-of-way and the principal structure for any new construction except in driveways accessing a garage accessory to a dwelling. This shall not apply to alleys. (See §§ 312-20B and 312-21B for required access from alleys.)

Expansion or change in use. In the case of the expansion or change in use of an existing use, the number of parking spaces shall be provided in accord with Subsection E of this section. Parking shall be provided to the rear of the building as a first priority and on the sides as a second priority. New parking in front of the building shall not be permitted but existing parking in front of the building may be maintained.

Nonresidential. Any structure or building which is hereafter erected, converted, or enlarged for any use, or any open area hereafter used for nonresidential purposes, shall be provided with five off-street parking spaces for each 9,600 square feet of lot area. For lots which are less than or greater than 9,600 square feet, the number of spaces provided shall be proportionate to the five spaces to 9,600 square feet requirement. Such spaces shall be readily accessible to the uses served thereby. Fractional numbers of parking spaces shall be increased to the next whole number.

Residential. One off-street parking space shall be provided for each one-bedroom apartment dwelling unit. Two off-street parking spaces per unit shall be provided for all other dwelling units.

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 permits. All new uses shall be required to obtain a highway occupancy permit from the Borough or PennDOT, as the case may be. In the case of a change in use or the expansion of an existing use, the Borough may require the applicant to obtain a highway occupancy permit or a revised highway occupancy permit. Where a use accesses the public right-of-way via a private road, the highway occupancy permit requirement and criteria shall be applied at the public right-of-way intersection. In making the determination of requiring a highway occupancy permit or a revised highway occupancy permit, the Borough shall consider the following criteria:

Curbing. Access drives and landscaping shall be defined with concrete curbing, or such alternate material as may be approved by the Borough.

A zoning permit shall be required for all business identification signs, advertising signs, temporary signs, bulletin boards, and announcement or professional signs which will be seen off the premises on which they are located before erection or replacement.

No permit shall be required for normal maintenance of existing signs.

All signs relating to a defunct business or a past event shall be removed by the property owner where said sign is located. The Zoning Officer may identify such signs and notify the property owner of the violation. If said sign is not removed within 15 days of such notification, then the property owner where said sign is located shall be subject to the fines and penalty provisions of this chapter applicable to violation of this chapter.

Applicants may, at their option, apply for all signs for any one business location in one application.

Once the message on the sign is removed the sign structure and face may remain in place for anticipated future use as long as the structure and face remain in good repair and they are the subject of a properly issued permit or certificate of nonconforming use.

Permanent window signs shall be considered wall signs and included in computation of the maximum surface area, but shall nevertheless not exceed 25% of the total window area of each street.

The size of any sign shall be computed by multiplying its greatest height by its greatest length, exclusive of supporting structures. In the case of signs that have no definable edges, such as raised letters attached to a building facade, the sign size shall be that area within a single continuous perimeter enclosing the extreme limits of the actual message or copy area.

In computing the surface area of a multi-faced sign, only one side shall be considered provided all faces are identical. If the interior angle formed by the two faces of a double-face sign is greater than 45°, then both sides of such sign shall be considered in calculating the sign area.

Frames and structural members not bearing advertising matter or not in the form of a symbol shall not be included in the computation of surface area.

No sign shall be so located or arranged that it interferes with traffic through glare, through blocking of reasonable sight lines for streets, sidewalks, or driveways, through confusion with a traffic control device (by reason of color, location, shape, or other characteristics), or through other means. Nor so that it creates offensive glare on neighboring properties.

Temporary nature of A-frame and easel signs. The A-frame/sandwich board and easel signs permitted by this subsection shall be considered temporary signs specifically authorized by this chapter. The removal or modification of all such signs may be required by the Borough Council upon the adoption of a Borough ordinance modifying or repealing this subsection and requiring the removal or modification of any such signs and/or specifically prohibiting the use of such signs. The adoption of this subsection shall not be considered now or in the future to create a vested right to place such signs. The termination of such a right shall not give rise to a nonconforming use to continue the placement of signs after the termination.

Compliance. Except as may be modified by this subsection, A-frame/sandwich board and easel signs permitted by this subsection shall comply with the requirements of this chapter and other Borough ordinances.

Definitions. The following definitions shall apply in addition to the applicable definitions related to signs in this chapter.
