The application package shall be processed on a schedule identical with requirements for review and approval of Preliminary Plans pursuant to the Township Subdivision Regulations, including providing the County Planning Commission with a thirty (30) day opportunity to review the entire application package.
The Township Planning Commission, before recommending action to the Board of Supervisors, shall conduct a public hearing pursuant to the notice requirements of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code. The Commission shall then report its findings together with a recommendation indicating whether the conditional use criteria contained in Section 404 will be satisfied.
The Board of Supervisors shall act on the Preliminary Plan, conditional use, and "Planning Module for Land Development" concurrently, making the Preliminary Plan approval and conditional use approval, if such approvals are granted, subject to approval of the Planning Module by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
No building permit shall be issued to the applicant until all conditions attached to the approval of any Preliminary Plan, including DEP approval the "Planning Module," shall have been satisfied and nothing herein shall be construed as permitting the issuance of a building permit prior to Preliminary Plan approval. If the Preliminary Plan shall be rejected no conditional use, building or zoning permit shall be granted.
Following Preliminary Plan approval, the developer shall provide for the installation of all required or proposed improvements including but not limited to streets, parking areas, storm drainage facilities, sewage disposal facilities pursuant to a valid sewage permit, recreational facilities and lighting. Building improvements shall also be completed or guaranteed prior to the applicant's request for Final Approval. No Certificate of Use shall, however, be issued until such time as: (1) Final Plan approval shall have been granted pursuant to the Subdivision Regulations; and (2) buildings have been completed and inspected by the Zoning Officer; and all improvements required to serve the unit in question have been installed and approved.
Complete final building plans shall also be submitted as part of the Final Plan Application. Such building plans shall substantially conform to the floor plans submitted for purposes of determining floor area ratios and shall not include more floor area than approved at the time of Conditional Use approval. All Conditional Use approvals of such projects shall specify the total floor area to be permitted.
No person shall sell, transfer, lease or agree or enter into an agreement to sell or lease any land and/or buildings or interests in the individual dwelling units to be created until Final Plan approval has been granted and the Plan has been recorded in the Office of the County Recorder of Deeds.
415.2 Parcel
Size and Density.
All land proposed for
particular multi-family dwelling project shall be part of the same parcel and
contiguous. The following minimum parcel sizes and
dwelling unit densities
maximum floor areas shall apply
in place of Section 306 minimum lot area per dwelling standards:
Multi-Family Minimum Parcel

The
total
number of dwelling units
maximum floor area permitted shall be calculated after deducting
the following
from the lot areas:
a. Land contained within public rights-of-way;
b. Land contained within the rights-of-way of existing or proposed private streets and parking areas, sewage facilities and open space/recreation areas. Where formal rights-of-way are not involved the width of all streets shall be assumed as fifty (50) feet;
c. Land contained within the boundaries of easements previously granted to public to public utility corporations providing electric or telephone service, and any petroleum pipeline rights-of-way;
d. The area of waterbodies including lakes, ponds and streams (measured to the normal high water mark on each side); floodplains, wetlands; quarries; areas with slope of twenty-five (25) percent or greater, and area used for improvements and other common areas (not including dwelling units);
from the total area of the project parcel (including all
areas to be devoted to open space) and multiplying the
remainder by the applicable
densityfloor
area ratio.
As an example, a five-acre lot (217,800 square feet), with 30,000 square feet of deductions for roads, water and the like, would yield 187,800 square feet of net lot area, which multiplied by a floor area ratio of 0.15 would yield 28,170 square feet of permitted floor area. This, in turn, would yield 18.78 dwelling units (maximum of 18 units) at an average floor area of 1,500 square feet per unit.
415.3
Location.
Multi-family
dwellings shall be subject to the following requirements related to location:
a. No multi-family development
shall be permitted within one hundred (100) feet of any District where
multi-family dwellings are not permitted unless there shall be a one hundred
(100) foot setback of all buildings and project improvements from the property
lines of any adjacent parcels. Project improvements include
buildings, streets, parking areas,
lighting, storm water management facilities, sewage treatment facilities,
effluent disposal areas, signs and recreational facilities.
415.5 Water
and Sewage.
All multi-family
developments shall be served with central or community
on-site sewage facilities and central
water supplies. Effluent disposal areas shall not be placed upon individual
lots and shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet from any public road right-of-way
or exterior development property line. The Township may, in its discretion,
require hydrogeology studies, which identify the potential impact on the
groundwater from the proposed disposal system and the use of denitrification
technology for systems servicing more than ten dwelling units and may require a
larger set back for such systems. A reserve area suitable for a replacement
disposal area equal in size to the required area shall be provided and so
identified on the plan.
415.6 Buildings.
a. The number of dwelling units in a multi-family dwelling building shall not exceed:
1)
teneight
(8) units for townhouses
2)
teneight
(8) units for garden apartments
3)
fifteen
ten (10) units for apartment buildings

The Supervisors of Dingman Township, Pike County, at a regularly or specially advertised meeting, do hereby ordain and enact the following:
§ 100-36. Multi-Family Dwelling Projects
G. Land Area
Per Dwelling Unit. Multi-family dwelling projects shall be required to provide
community on-lot or central sewage disposal and central water supply. They
shall not exceed
a density of three units per acre. Density, however,
shall be calculated by taking the total acreage of the development, deducting
the following acreages;
(1) Land contained within public rights-of-way
(2) Land contained within the rights-of-way of
existing or proposed private streets (Where formal rights-of-way are not
involved the width of the street shall be assumed as fifty (50) feet wide); and
(3) Land contained with the boundaries of easements
previously granted to public utility corporations
and dividing by the number of units proposed.the
floor area ratios specified in Section 415.2 of the Dingman Township Zoning
Ordinance.
I. Design
Criteria.
The followingAll
multi-family dwelling projects shall comply with design criteria established
under Section 415 of the Dingman Township Zoning Ordinance.
design criteria shall apply to multi-family developments;
(1) There shall be no more than eight (8) dwellings
in each multi-family building.
(2) There shall be a one-hundred (100) foot setback
of all buildings and improvements in a multi-family dwelling project from the
property lines of any adjacent parcels and a seventy-five (75) feet setback from
any public right-of-way. This shall not apply to utility lines or
rights-of-way. No structure shall be constructed within twenty (20) feet of the
edge of any access road to or through the development or within ten (10) feet of
the edge of any parking area.
(3) Access roads through the development (any
vehicular way through the project including those connecting parking areas)
shall comply with minor street requirements as specified in this ordinance and
no parking space shall be designed such that a vehicle would be backing or
driving out onto a through road. Instead, there shall be a defined entrance and
exit to and from each parking area. Bus, truck and emergency vehicle
turnarounds, as required under the Township Fire Protection Ordinance, shall
also be provided along with designated areas for school bus stops and mailboxes,
which shall be approved by the Township Board of Supervisors.
(4) No multi-family development shall be served by
more than one access to any public highway, unless topography or other physical
circumstances would preclude the use of a single entrance in a safe manner.
(5) Two (2) improved parking spaces per dwelling
unit shall be provided and for every two (2) units intended for rental or other
transient occupancy, one additional space shall be provided to accommodate
parking needs during sales and other peak visitation periods.
(6) No more than sixty (60) parking spaces shall be
provided in one lot, nor more than fifteen (15) in a continuous row without
being interrupted by landscaping. All off-street parking shall be adequately
lighted and so arranged as to direct light away from residences.
(7) No structure shall be erected within a distance
equal to its own height of any other structure.
(8) A landscaping plan shall be prepared by the
developer and approved by the Township. Where a property line is not wooded, a
planting strip of at least thirty (30) feet in width, and more if required by
the Township Board of Supervisors, shall be required to buffer adjoining
property owners. Such planting strip shall consist of two or more rows of
offset White Spruce plantings, or other species of comparable screening value,
at least six feet in height and sufficient to ensure that direct views of the
project will be largely obscured on an immediate basis. Any additional buffer
area required by the Board shall be not less than the minimum required to
effectively contain lighting, noise or other impacts to the property being
developed.
(9) Multi-family developments shall be subject to
the Township Stormwater Management Ordinance and stormwater management
requirements of this ordinance, as the case may be. Facilities shall be, at a
minimum, designed to accommodate storms of a 10 year frequency unless a more
stringent standard shall be recommended by the Township Engineer. The general
performance standard shall be that the amount of uncontrolled stormwater leaving
the site along any property line after development shall not exceed that
estimated for the site prior to development. In instances where stormwater
facilities are impractical for engineering reasons the Township Engineer may
modify this standard as it applies to a particular project but shall provide for
the maximum practical reduction in flow which can be achieved under the
circumstances.
J. Water and Sewage Facilities. All multi-family
developments shall be served with community on-lot or central sewage facilities
and water supplies as defined herein.
K. Non-Residential Uses. Non-residential uses in a
multi-family development shall be limited to clubhouses (including snack shops),
recreational facilities and minor home occupations.
L. Conversions of Existing Structures.
Conversions of motels, hotels or other existing structures to multi-family
dwelling use regardless of whether such conversions involve structural
alterations, shall be considered subdivisions and land developments and be
subject to this ordinance. If the proposed project does involve structural
alterations, the Preliminary Plan shall include a certification of a registered
architect or engineer to the effect that the existing building is structurally
sound and that the proposed conversion will not impair structural soundness.
All subsequent sections shall be renumbered accordingly beginning with J.

Test Struck through is existing text to be removed
Text in bold italic is text to be added to the ordinance
Home Occupation
- Any
use customarily conducted, to the extent that commercial activity is conducted
on a the home site, entirely within a dwelling or in a
building accessory thereto and carried on by the inhabitants residing
therein, providing that the use is clearly incidental and secondary to the
use of the dwelling for dwelling purposes, the exterior appearance of the
structure or premises is constructed and maintained as a residential dwelling,
and no goods are publicly displayed on the premises other than signs as provided
herein. ; including but not limited to the following occupations: the
professional practice of medicine, dentistry, architecture, law, and
engineering; artists, beauticians, barbers, veterinarians, small offices for
performance of clerical, word processing and computer functions which may or may
not be connected to the operation of a business that otherwise operates off
site, but excluding stables or kennels.
Section 305 – Use Regulations:
Remove Home Occupations as a conditional use in the R-1 District.
Add Home Occupations as a Special Exception in the R-1 District.
401.1 Home
occupations shall be permitted as indicated in Section 305
anywhere in the Township, as conditional uses, provided such occupation is
clearly incidental or secondary to the use of the property as a residence and
does not change the character of or have an exterior effect on the dwelling.
a. In the R-1 District the minimum lot size shall be five (5) acres and the minimum set back of any home occupation activity to adjoining properties or streets, alleys, roads, etc. shall be one hundred (100) feet.
b. In all other Districts where home occupations are permitted the minimum lot size shall be two (2) acres and the minimum set back of any home occupation activity to adjoining properties or streets, alleys, roads, etc. shall be fifty (50) feet.
c. Home occupations shall be limited to the employment, on premises, of not more than two (2) persons, other than immediate family members living on the premises, at any one time. An additional off street parking space shall be provided for each employee.
d. Home occupations shall not occupy more than twenty-five (25) percent of the total floor area of the dwelling unit including basement and accessory buildings.
e.
In addition to
the requirements for home occupations applications conditional
uses as set forth in this ordinance, all applicants for home occupations
shall give written notice of their application to all property owners with real
property that abut the subject property or are within 500 feet of the boundaries
of their property (the subject parcel) on the same street, public or private,
and shall submit an affidavit showing proof of said notice to the Board of
Supervisors at the time of hearing.
f. Applicants must demonstrate compliance with all applicable state and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to those regulating sewage, building, solid waste removal, etc. as they relate to the project.
g. Applicants must supply the Township with filed copies of fictitious name registrations or certificates of incorporation as applicable.
h. Home occupations shall not detract from the residential character or appearance of the neighborhood. The following factors shall be used to make this assessment.
1. Extent of business - whether or not the home is still the identifiable primary use of the property. Factors shall include the amount of time the business is operated on a daily basis.
2.
Appearance from
an adjacent street - whether or not the use of the property as a business is
distinguishable from an adjacent street. Except for a non-illuminated,
identification sign no larger four (4) square feet in size attached to the
principal structure, nothing shall occur on the property that can be observed
from an adjacent street which makes it readily apparent a business is being
operated on the premises. In cases where the principal structure is obscured
from the street, or the structure is set back more than fifty (50) feet from the
property line, a non-illuminated ground sign not to exceed four (4) square feet
may be used. Factors for evaluating this standard shall include but not
be limited to be that the residential dwelling not be altered to
change its residential appearance, and no activity related to the conduct of the
home occupation shall be permitted to occur in such a manner as to be obtrusive
to the neighborhood or attract extra attention to the business.
3.
Impact on the
neighborhood - whether or not the business activity is causing a deviation from
the residential character of the neighborhood. Factors for evaluating this
standard shall include but not be limited to whether or not the
business is generating excessive traffic detrimental to the neighborhood
beyond normal residential traffic. A home occupation shall generate
no greater than twenty-four (24) vehicle trips per day, based on estimates
provided by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. However, for specific
neighborhoods, these amounts may be lowered or raised, at the discretion of the
Township to consider widths of properties, widths of streets, hills, curves and
the number of children present.
4. Parking - whether or not parking problems could result from the use. Factors shall include, but not be limited to:
1)
except for
special gatherings, parking required for the business shall be provided on-site
or be limited to the area along the frontage of the property on the street;
2) parking on the property shall be on a surface equal in quality to the paving surface of any existing driveway unless there is no surface other than the ground in which case a gravel surface shall be provided; and
3) no home based business shall be permitted which requires parking of tractor-trailer combinations along the street or on site for other than short term delivery purposes.
5.
Nuisance -
whether or not the use is causing or will cause other nuisances for
surrounding property owners or is deviating from the residential character or
appearance of the neighborhood.
6. Expansions - no home based business, having once been permitted or established, shall be added to, expanded, enlarged or otherwise increased or changed substantially in character without complying with this law and such permission or establishment shall not be a basis for a later application to establish a principal commercial use. Moreover, the conversion of a residence with a home based business to a commercial use by the abandonment of the residence or the sale, rent, or transfer of the business to a party which does not reside on-site is strictly prohibited unless the business is then moved off site.
7. Violation of subsections 4, 5 and 6 of this section shall be grounds for revocation of any permit issued by the township for a home occupation.
Notice is hereby given that the Dingman Township Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing upon and consider the following amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. Said hearing will be held on December 1, 2009 at 7:30 P.M. at the Municipal Building, 118 Fisher Lane, Milford, PA 18337. Interested parties are encouraged to attend.

Such "Conditional Uses" shall be referred to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation and may be permitted only after public notice and hearing and determination by the Board that such uses meet the standards in this Ordinance. The Commission shall have 30 days from the date they receive the referral in which to make a recommendation to the Board.
Applicants for Conditional Uses shall submit plot plans in sufficient detail to provide the Board and the Planning Commission with enough information to properly evaluate the proposed planned use. The burden of proof shall be on the applicant to present sufficient evidence to show compliance with all applicable standards hereunder and the burden shall never shift to the municipality or other parties to show the contrary.
Such Conditional Uses which are authorized by the Board may be subject to any additional conditions and safeguards including but not limited to increased lot size established by the Board in each case which may be warranted by the character of the areas in which such uses are.
404.2 Special Exceptions - Uses specified as special exceptions under this Ordinance shall be permitted only after review by the Planning Commission and review and approval by the Zoning Hearing Board. Such approval shall be based on the determination that the use is appropriate to the specific location for which it is proposed, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and in keeping with the purposes and intent of this Ordinance. The following criteria shall be used as a guide in evaluating a proposed use:
a. The presence of adjoining similar uses.
b. The presence of an adjoining district in which the use is permitted.
c. The need for the use in the area proposed, as established by the comprehensive plan.
d. Sufficient area to effectively screen the use from nearby different uses.
e. Conditions such that there were several potential sites for the use but not sufficient need to establish a permitting zone district or to leave the District open to indiscriminate placement of such use.
f. Sufficient safeguards such as parking, traffic control, screening and setbacks can be effectuated to remove any potential adverse influence the use may have on adjoining uses.
g. The burden of proof shall remain with the applicant to show compliance with all standards and the burden shall never shift to the Township.
h. Applicants shall submit plot plans in sufficient detail to provide the Board and the Planning Commission with enough information to properly evaluate the proposed planned use.
404.3 Upon making a determination that an application for a specific use could only be granted as a conditional use or special exception under the terms of this Ordinance and upon making the further determination that the application for such a use is complete, the Zoning Officer shall forward a copy of said application to the Planning Commission and to the Board of Supervisors. In the event that the Zoning Officer determines that the application for a use is incomplete he may return it to the applicant together with a narrative indicating the basis for rejection or he may, in his discretion, refer the application to the Planning Commission to review. The Commission shall, within thirty (30) days following its next regular meeting, make a review thereof and forward recommendations, if any, to the Board of Supervisors or Zoning Hearing Board as applicable. The Board shall promptly schedule a public hearing to receive public comment on the application and, after the completion of said hearing or hearings or adjournments thereof, render a decision to grant or deny the application. If the application is granted, the Board will direct the Zoning Officer to issue a permit in accordance with its decision. In approving an application, the Board may attach such reasonable conditions to the approval as they may deem necessary. The Board may, in their discretion, direct the Zoning Officer to issue a permit for a limited period of time which permit shall be subject to a renewal procedure at which time the Board will have the discretion to deny the renewal, grant the renewal or order the implementation of additional conditions that the Board may deem necessary and appropriate. If the application is denied, the applicant shall be notified within five (5) days of the decision and the reasons for the action.
Ordained and enacted this _________ day of ___________, 2009.
