Lower Paxton Township Zoning Ordinance - Adopted July 11, 2006

ARTICLE 3 DISTRICTS 301. DESIGNATION OF DISTRICTS AND PURPOSES.

301.A. For the purpose of this Ordinance, Lower Paxton Township is hereby divided into the following

zoning districts, with the following abbreviations:

CO Conservation AR Agricultural Residential R-1 Residential - Low Density R-2 Residential - Medium Density R-3 Residential - Medium High Density R-C Residential Cluster V Village CN Commercial - Neighborhood CG Commercial - General ON Office - Neighborhood BC Business Campus LI Light Industrial GI General Industrial IN Institutional TND Traditional Neighborhood Development Overlay District OSD Open Space Development Overlay District

301.B. For the purposes of this Ordinance, the zoning districts named in Section 301.A. shall be of the

number, size, shape and location shown on the “Official Zoning Map.” 301.C. Overlay Districts. The Floodplain Area, as defined by Article 5, shall serve as an overlay district

to the applicable underlying districts. 301.D. Purposes of Each District. In addition to serving the overall purposes and objectives of this

Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan, each zoning district is intended to serve the following purposes:

1. CO Conservation District – To conserve important natural features, such as wetlands, creeks,

flood-prone lands and steeply sloped areas. To conserve the Blue Mountain. To vary density based upon the natural features of the land. To protect the water quality and habitats along creeks and around lakes, and promote groundwater recharge. To provide incentives and a certain amount of flexibility in lot layout through conservation-oriented development so that development can be clustered on the most suitable portions of a tract of land, while avoiding overly intense development. (as amended by Ordinance 07-01, adopted 11/20/07)

2. AR Agricultural Residential District - To provide for rural types of development at a lower overall density, in a manner that protects creeks and other natural features. To avoid conflicts with agricultural uses. To promote use of the Open Space Development Option.

Districts Page 3-2

3. R-1 Low Density Residential District - To provide for low density residential neighborhoods

that are primarily composed of single family detached dwellings. To protect these areas from incompatible uses. To provide incentives and a certain amount of flexibility in lot layout through the Open Space Development and Traditional Neighborhood Development Options so that development can be placed on the most suitable portions of a tract of land, while still avoiding overly intense development.

4. R-2 Medium Density Residential District - To provide for medium density residential

neighborhoods with a mix of housing types. To protect these areas from incompatible uses. To meet requirements of State law to provide opportunities for various housing types.

5. R-3 Medium High Density Residential District - To provide opportunities for a mix of

housing types at a medium high density. To protect these areas from incompatible uses.

6. V Village District - To provide business opportunities while seeking to develop a central community focus for the Township. To promote a pedestrian-friendly and bicycle-friendly environment. To promote an appropriate mix of retail, service, office, public, institutional and residential uses. To avoid heavy commercial uses that are most likely to conflict with the historic and scenic character, and most likely to cause conflicts with homes. To primarily provide for smaller-scale uses that will not be obtrusive in the landscape and that will not overload the road system. To serve the purposes listed in Section 318.

7. ON Office-Neighborhood District - To provide for offices and low-intensity business uses in

locations that are adjacent to residential neighborhoods.

8. CN Neighborhood Commercial District - To provide for lighter types of commercial uses that will be compatible with nearby homes.

9. CG General Commercial District - To provide for a variety of commercial uses along major

highways where a variety of commercial uses are already present. To provide for a wider range of commercial uses than the CN and V districts, including uses that are more auto-related (such as gas stations). To carefully locate commercial areas and commercial driveways to minimize traffic safety and congestion problems along roads.

10. LI Light Industrial District - To provide for industrial and certain types of commercial

development in a manner that is compatible with any nearby homes and the surrounding environment. To carefully control the types of industrial operations to avoid nuisances and environmental hazards. To encourage coordinated development, particularly in regard to traffic access.

11. GI General Industrial - To provide for industrial and certain types of commercial

development in a manner that is compatible with any nearby homes and the surrounding environment. To carefully control the types of industrial operations to avoid nuisances and environmental hazards. To encourage coordinated development, particularly in regard to traffic access. To provide for a greater number of industrial uses than the LI District.

12. BC Business Campus District - To provide sufficient space, in appropriate locations, to meet

needs for offices and complementary types of business development. This district is intended to control the types and intensities of uses to avoid nuisances and hazards. This district is also intended to provide for development that will generate additional tax revenue and wider

aaltice

employment opportunities. This district promotes an attractive, well-landscaped, campus-type of business park development that will aid in attracting new businesses. This district is also intended to encourage development that uses deed restrictions imposed by the subdivider, as well as interior road systems. This district promotes landscaped front yards and substantial buffers adjacent to residential development. To attract higher paying jobs to the Township.

13. IN Institutional District - To provide for a variety of institutional uses and related uses, such

as medical offices.

14. R-C Residential-Cluster District - The purposes in Section 320 shall apply.

15. TND Traditional Neighborhood Development Overlay District - The provisions of Section 314 shall apply.

land, except as provided for in this Ordinance. 302.B. No structure shall hereafter be erected, used, constructed, reconstructed, structurally altered or

occupied and no land shall hereafter be used, developed or occupied unless it is in conformity with the regulations herein specified for the use and district in which it is located.

302.C. No yard or lot existing at the time of passage of this Ordinance shall be reduced in dimension or

area below the minimum requirements set forth herein. Yards or lots created after the effective date of this Ordinance shall meet at least the minimum requirements established by this Ordinance.

302.D. Boundary Change. Any territory which may hereafter become part of the Township through

annexation or a boundary adjustment shall be classified as the AR zoning district of Lower Paxton Township until or unless such territory is otherwise classified by Board of Supervisors.

303. ZONING MAP. 303.A. A map entitled “Lower Paxton Township Zoning Map” accompanies this Ordinance and is

declared a part of this Ordinance. The Official Zoning Map, which should bear the adoption date of this Ordinance and the words “Official Zoning Map,” shall be retained in the Township Building.

303.B. Map Changes. Changes to the boundaries and districts of the Official Zoning Map shall only be

made in conformity with the amendment procedures specified in the State Municipalities Planning Code. All changes should be noted by date with a brief description of the nature of the change, either on the map or within an appendix to this Ordinance.

303.C. Replacement Map. If the Official Zoning Map becomes damaged, destroyed, lost or difficult to

Lower Paxton Township Zoning Ordinance - Adopted July 11, 2006

Map which shall supersede the prior Official Zoning Map. Unless the prior Official Zoning Map has been lost or has been totally destroyed, the prior map or any remaining parts shall be preserved together with all available records pertaining to its previous adoption or amendment.

304. DISTRICT BOUNDARIES. The following rules shall apply where uncertainty exists as to

boundaries of any district as shown on the Zoning Map. 304.A. District boundary lines are intended to follow or be parallel to the center line of street rights-of-

way, streams and railroads, and lot lines as they existed on a recorded deed or plan of record in the County Recorder of Deeds’ office at the time of the adoption of this ordinance, unless such district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions as shown on the Official Zoning Map.

304.B. Where a district boundary is not fixed by dimensions and where it approximately follows lot lines,

such boundary shall be construed to follow such lot lines unless specifically shown otherwise. 304.C. The location of a district boundary on un-subdivided land or where a district boundary divides a

lot shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the Zoning Map unless indicated otherwise by dimensions.

304.D. Where a municipal boundary divides a lot, the minimum lot area shall be regulated by the

municipality in which the principal use(s) are located, unless otherwise provided by applicable case law. The land area within each municipality shall be regulated by the use regulations and other applicable regulations of each municipality.

305. SETBACKS ACROSS MUNICIPAL BOUNDARIES. 305.A. Intent. To continue the objective of compatible land uses across municipal boundaries. 305.B. This Ordinance requires additional setbacks and the provision of buffer yards when certain uses

would abut an existing dwelling or a residential zoning district. These same additional setback and buffer yard provisions shall be provided by uses proposed within Lower Paxton Township regardless of whether such abutting existing dwelling or principally residential zoning district is located in an abutting municipality and/or in Lower Paxton Township.

306. TABLE OF ALLOWED USES IN EACH ZONING DISTRICT. 306.A. For the purposes of this Section 306, the following abbreviations shall have the following

6. In the V District where new construction or vehicle parking is proposed in place of the demolished building, information about the proposed use shall be provided prior to approval of the demolition.

7. If a principal building is to be demolished, a performance bonding shall be required to be

posted to ensure that the site is adequately cleared after the demolition, with proper disposal of debris.

8. A separate demolition permit shall also be required under the Township Construction Codes,

and the applicant shall prove compliance with State Department of Environmental Protection requirements for disposal of the debris.

316.E. Exceptions. Conditional use approval shall not be needed for the following:

1. Demolition of accessory buildings or structures. 2. Interior renovations or removal of features (such as a rear porch) that do not harm the

structural stability of the building and that are not visible from a public street (not including an alley).

3. Removal of features that were added after 1945, such as a modern porch or aluminum siding or carport.

4. Relocation of a building within the Township, provided that the relocation does not result in a partial or complete demolition that is regulated by this Section.

317. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BC DISTRICT. 317.A. Impervious Coverage. The maximum impervious coverage provided in Section 307.A. may

be modified as follows, if the flexibility is used to provide a substantial buffer adjacent to existing dwellings:

1. Within a subdivision or land development, the maximum impervious coverages of certain

individual lots may be approved to be a maximum of 70 percent, provided that deed restrictions are put into place to restrict the maximum impervious coverage of other lots to a lower percentage, so as to ensure that a maximum impervious coverage of 60 percent is maintained for the total land area of all lots. This provision is intended to allow for substantial buffer areas adjacent to dwellings or for common recreation areas. a. For example by deed restrictions, one lot of 2 acres might have a maximum impervious

coverage of 75 percent, while another 2 acre lot is approved with a maximum impervious coverage of 55 percent, resulting in an average impervious coverage of 65 percent.

317.B. Height. A maximum height of 60 feet or 6 stories, whichever is more restrictive, shall apply if

a BC District includes more than 10 contiguous acres. If a BC District includes less than 10 contiguous acres, then a maximum height of 40 feet or 3 stories, whichever is more restrictive, shall apply. Also, a maximum height of 40 feet or 3 stories, whichever is more restrictive, shall apply for any portion of a building that is within 100 feet from the lot line of an existing residential use.

1. Customary extensions of a building that are not occupied by persons may exceed this height

limit, such as elevator equipment, skylights, water towers, chimneys, smokestacks, parapet walls used to screen mechanical equipment, and similar features.

2. Planting strips shall be provided adjacent to each public street. The planting strip shall have a minimum width of 30 feet adjacent to the curbline of an arterial street and 15 feet adjacent to the curbline to any other street. If curbing is not provided, then such width shall be measured from the street right-of-way line. A sidewalk of approved width and approximately perpendicular driveways of approved width may be placed within this planting strip. The planting strip shall be maintained in deciduous shade trees, shrubs and an attractive vegetative ground cover.

3. As part of land development review for each new principal building, a landscaping plan shall

be submitted to the Township. A minimum of 20 percent of each lot shall be landscaped, which shall include grass or other vegetative ground cover and an appropriate distribution of trees and shrubs.

317.D. Utilities. All new electric and telephone service lines within the development shall be placed

underground. 317.E. Pedestrian Access and Amenities.

1. See the provisions of the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance regarding sidewalks along streets. An applicant may apply for a modification under such ordinance to allow a bituminous asphalt bicycle/walking trail in place of concrete sidewalks.

areas that are not along a public street) and outdoor lunch areas with picnic tables and trees within a subdivision for the use of employees of businesses within the subdivision.

317.F. Additional BC Provisions.

1. Facade Materials. It is strongly encouraged that a minimum of 75 percent of the facades of buildings facing onto streets consist of glass, brick or other decorative masonry. This provision is intended to avoid metal or cinder block construction, at least as visible from a street. Subdividers are strongly encouraged to place such a requirement on each lot through deed restrictions.

2. Landscaped Front Yards. Parking in the front yard should primarily be used for visitor

parking and handicapped parking. Other vehicle parking should primarily be placed to the side or rear of buildings.

3. Loading Docks. An applicant shall prove to the satisfaction of the Township that loading

docks have been located within reason to seek to minimize their visibility from dwellings, public streets and expressways. No loading dock routinely served by tractor-trailer trucks shall be located within 75 feet of the existing right-of-way of a public street.

4. Access. The Board of Supervisors may require that vehicle access be provided using an

alternative other than direct access from lots onto Linglestown Road or another arterial street. These alternatives may include, but are not limited to, access onto a street that is perpendicular to Linglestown Road, access by multiple lots onto a new interior street, use of a cross-

Lower Paxton Township Zoning Ordinance - Adopted July 11, 2006

Districts 3-61

easement from an adjacent non-residential lot, or another method that is not in conflict with minimum sight distance requirements of the State. The Board of Supervisors may require that a new lot, use or land development include a cross-easement and an appropriate driveway design or a stub right-of-way to allow adjacent lots to access an arterial street at an appropriate and coordinated access point.

318. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS IN THE V VILLAGE DISTRICT. 318.A. Purposes. The V District is intended to serve the following purposes, in addition to purposes

described in the Comprehensive Plan and the overall objectives of this Zoning Ordinance: 1. to promote traditional neighborhood development in village areas, particularly to protect

significant historic resources in accordance with the Traditional Neighborhood Development provisions of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, which purposes are hereby included by reference;

2. to create traditional neighborhood development that regulates new development and infill development where existing uses and structures may be incorporated into existing development;

3. to promote the historic integrity of village areas; 4. to develop and redevelop in a manner generally consistent with historic development

patterns and existing character of village areas; 5. to uphold the design principles of traditional neighborhood development; 6. to promote the use, reuse, and renovation of existing structures; 7. to preserve the look and feel of existing village characteristics, which may include a

centrally located village square, greenspaces, commercial enterprises, public buildings, residences, and facilities for social activity, recreation and community functions;

8. to encourage a livable neighborhood with a fully integrated, mixed use, pedestrian-oriented community;

9. to provide for adequate and safe circulation patterns for pedestrians, bicyclists, motor vehicle traffic, and other modes of transportation through village areas;

10. to foster a sense of place and community by providing a setting that encourages the natural intermingling of everyday uses and activities within a recognizable community;

11. to support and enhance the economic viability of village areas; 12. to encourage off-street community parking areas located on small vacant lots and parcels

adjacent to alleys, based upon site and land development plan approvals; 13. to protect natural, historic, and cultural resources of village areas through regulation of

the use of land; 14. to encourage a variety of architectural features and building materials to give each

building or group of buildings a distinct character; and 15. to develop compactly in ways that are designed for the human scale, including sensitivity

to walking distances, the height of buildings, the design of streetlights and signs, sidewalks, and other features that preserve the look and feel of village areas as seen from public view.
