A.
Number of principal buildings restricted.
(1)
No lot shall contain more than one principal building or structure, except as permitted in the RMF-5, RMF-8, RMF-8A, RMF-15, B-1, B-2, R-B, O-1, O-2, OR-3, OB-RL, PED, I and M Districts as herein permitted and regulated.

Notwithstanding anything in this section to be contrary, lots in the R-13 district, all or portions of which are subject to leases initially on 90 years or greater duration, which leases were in existence and which leaseholds contained a principal building or structure as of January 1, 1977, may contain more than one principal building or structure on a lot, provided that:
(a)
The fee owner of the lot owns the fee title to 20 or more contiguous acres within the Township; and
(b)
The individual leaseholds each contain no more than one principal building or structure; provided, however, that if the leaseholds subject to subleases are in existence as of January 1, 1977, the restriction of one principal building or structure shall apply to each individual subleasehold rather than the leasehold, and to the remaining portion of the leasehold, if any, not subject to a sublease; and

(3)
More than one principal building on a lot is permitted in the O-1, O-2, OR-3, OB-RL, PED, I and M districts; provided, however, where the districts are developed for nonresidential uses as permitted and regulated, the following requirements shall be complied with:
(a)
The front, side and rear yard requirements shall be complied with for all buildings on-site.
(b)
No building shall be closer to another building on-site than the sum of the heights of the buildings in question.
(c)
The required off-street parking and loading for all buildings on-site shall be computed separately.
(d)
Cumulative floor area and ground coverage of all buildings and structures on-site shall be used to compute and meet all other conditions of this chapter.
