Tobyhanna Township City Zoning Code
ARTICLE XVI
Planned Residential Development
§ 155-107 Purpose.
The provisions of this article are enacted in order that the purposes of this chapter be furthered in an era of increasing urbanization and of growing demand for housing of all types and design; to ensure that the provisions of this chapter which are concerned in part with the uniform treatment of dwelling type, bulk, density and open space within each zoning district shall not be applied to the improvement of land by other than lot by lot development in a manner that would distort the objectives of this chapter; to encourage innovations in residential development and renewal so that the growing demand for housing may be met by greater variety in type, design and layout of dwellings and by the conservation and more efficient use of open space ancillary to said dwellings; so that greater opportunity for better housing and recreation may extend to all citizens and residents of this Township; and in order to encourage a more efficient use of land and of public service and to reflect changes in the technology of land development so that economies secured may accrue to the benefit of those who need homes and for other uses; and in aid of these purposes, to provide a procedure which can relate the type, design and layout of residential development to the particular site and the particular demand for housing existing at the time of development in a manner consistent with the preservation of the property values within the existing residential and nonresidential areas, and to ensure that the increased flexibility of regulations over land development authorized herein is carried out under such administrative standards and procedures as shall encourage the disposition of proposals for land development without undue delay.
§ 155-108 Interpretation.
This article is, and all amendments hereto shall be, based on the Comprehensive Plan for Tobyhanna Township. This article and such amendments shall be interpreted in relation to said Comprehensive Plan and any amendments thereof. Every application for approval of a planned residential development shall be based on and interpreted in relation to the Comprehensive Plan and any amendments thereof.
§ 155-109 Administration.
The administration of the procedures for application for and approval of planned residential developments shall be vested in the Board of Supervisors. The Board shall, however, refer all tentative and final development plans for such developments to the Planning Commission for their review and comment. In the event that a majority of the members of the Board of Supervisors cannot act in their official capacity as the governing body in accordance with this section, the procedures for application for and approval of the planned residential development shall be vested in the Tobyhanna Township Planning Commission.
§ 155-110 Eligibility.
An application shall not be eligible for tentative approval unless the following initial requirements are met:
A.
The proposed development shall consist of one or more contiguous tracts of land under single ownership and/or control, containing in the entirety a minimum of 50 acres, if the proposed development is located in an RR District; or 25 acres, if the proposed development is located in an R-1 District; or 10 acres, if the proposed development is located in an R-2 District. In the event that the proposed planned residential development is located in two or more residential districts, compliance with the required minimum area shall be determined by evaluation using the following formula:
 |
 |
B.
The proposed development shall provide for adequate, safe water supply and sewage disposal consistent with the soil conditions and the development's plans.
C.
The proposed development shall have adequate legal access to a public street, road or highway.
D.
The area to be improved shall be physically suitable for buildings, streets, accessways, parking, utilities and all other required or proposed facilities or improvements.
E.
The area to be set aside for open space shall be physically suitable for the proposed use.
F.
The area to be set aside for open space shall be dedicated to and for the use and enjoyment of owners or residents in the development or, under certain circumstances, the general public.
G.
All of the tract must lie within a residential district.
§ 155-111 Use regulations.
The uses permitted in a planned residential development shall be limited to the following:
A.
Dwelling units in detached, semidetached, attached or multistoried structures, or any combination thereof, shall be permitted, provided that the arrangement thereof is consistent with the provisions of this article.
B.
Accessory uses permitted within the RR District by § 155-12C(2), (3), (4) and (5) of this chapter shall be permitted within a planned residential development.
C.
Commercial activities as permitted by Article VIII (excepting gasoline stations and garages) shall be permitted in any planned residential development, provided that such use is incidental to the primary use. The area devoted to such use, including any required yards, parking areas and buffers, shall not exceed 1% of the total gross area of the tract.
D.
Open spaces set aside under the provisions of this article may be used in whole or in part in any of the following ways, or any manner similar thereto:
§ 155-112 Land use density.
The following standards shall govern the density of dwelling units on the land within a planned residential development:
A.
No more than 4.5 dwelling units may be erected for each one acre of land in the total tract under consideration. In the event that the planned residential development incorporates incidental commercial use, as provided in § 155-111C, for the purposes of calculation of the maximum number of units permitted, the gross area of the tract shall be reduced by the area committed to commercial use.
B.
An area equal to the sum of 30% of that portion of the planned residential development located in an RR District, plus 25% of that portion of the planned residential development located in an R-1 District, plus 20% of that portion of the planned residential development located in an R-2 District, shall be set aside as open space for the use and benefit of the residents of the development, as hereinafter provided.
C.
Consideration shall be given to the arrangement and location of open spaces to take advantage of physical characteristics of the site and to place open spaces within easy access and view of dwelling units.
D.
In the case of a planned residential development proposed to be developed over a period of years, a variation in each section to be developed from the density of use established for the entire planned residential development may be permitted. A greater concentration of density of land use within some section or sections of development may be allowed whether it be earlier or later in the development than upon others. The approval of such greater concentration of density land use for any section to be developed shall be offset by a smaller concentration in any completed prior stage or by an appropriate reservation of common open space on the remaining land by a grant of easement or by covenant in favor of the municipality, provided that such reservation shall, as far as practicable, defer the precise location of such common open space until an application for final approval is filed, so that flexibility of development, which is a prime objective of this article, can be maintained.
§ 155-113 Area and bulk regulations.
Within the limits of maximum overall density of use established in § 155-112, flexibility in the arrangement of housing on individual lots and in clusters of single-family, duplex, townhouses and apartments may be permitted to the requirements of the zone in which the PRD is located.

In the event of such refusal, the landowner may either:
(2)
If the landowner wishes to take either such alternate action, he may do so at any time within which he shall be entitled to apply for final approval, or within 30 additional days if the time for applying for final approval shall have already passed at the time when the landowner was advised that the development plan was not in substantial compliance. In the event that the landowner shall fail to take either of these alternate actions within said time, he shall be deemed to have abandoned the development plan. Any such public hearing shall be held pursuant to public notice within 30 days after request for the hearing is made by the landowner, and the hearing shall be conducted in the manner prescribed in this article for public hearings on applications for tentative approval. Within 30 days after the conclusion of the hearing, the Board of Supervisors shall, by official written communication, either grant final approval to the development plan or deny final approval. The grant or denial of final approval of the development shall, in cases arising under this section, be in the form and contain the findings required for application of tentative approval set forth in this article.
D.
A development plan, or any part thereof, which has been given final approval shall be so certified without delay by the Board of Supervisors and shall be filed on record forthwith in the office of the Recorder of Deeds before any development shall take place in accordance therewith. Upon the filing of record of the development plan, the zoning and subdivision regulations otherwise applicable to the land included in such plan shall cease to apply thereto. Pending completion within five years, or such reasonable period of time as may be fixed by the Board of Supervisors, of the planned residential development or that part thereof, as the case may be, that has been finally approved, no modification of the provisions of said development plan or part thereof, as finally approved, shall be made except with the consent of the landowner.
E.
In the event that a development plan, or a section thereof, is given final approval and thereafter the landowner shall abandon such plan or the section thereof that has been finally approved, and shall so notify the Board of Supervisors, in writing, or in the event that the landowner shall fail to commence and carry out the planned residential development within five years, or such reasonable period of time as may be fixed by the Board of Supervisors, after final approval has been granted, no development or further development shall take place on the property included in the development plan until after said property is resubdivided and is reclassified by enactment of an amendment to this chapter in the manner prescribed for such amendments in § 155-136.
