Special exception uses. The Zoning Hearing Board is authorized to grant special exceptions for uses specified in § 300-49 for applications meeting the following criteria:
The manner, location and hours of operations and of
deliveries to the premises shall be compatible with the daily cycle
of active and quiet periods associated with any adjacent residential
uses.
Sewer and water facilities. All development in institutional
districts shall be served by central water facilities and central
sanitary sewer facilities acceptable to the Board of Commissioners
and subject to the approval of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection or its successor agency and the appropriate municipal authority
providing water or sewer facilities.
Subdivision of a tract. The subdivision of a tract
of land into lots may occur only for financial purposes and not so
as to permit individual lots to be treated as independent parcels
for separate development at a future time. Subdivision of a tract
may occur only when deed restrictions are executed and recorded that
maintain the lots as an integral part of a total tract land development.
Intent. The intent of the INS Institutional District
is to provide appropriate locations and development standards for
a wide range of types of institutions. Uses in this district may expect
employees and clients from throughout the region. Suitable locations
for these uses should be limited to sites on arterial roads easily
accessible to regional highways.
Permitted uses. Uses are permitted in INS Institutional Districts in accordance with § 300-49. Specified uses are allowed as special exceptions in accordance with § 300-48B when authorized by the Zoning Hearing Board. Accessory uses are permitted in accordance with Article XIII.
Intent. The intent of the NS Neighborhood Schools
District is to provide appropriate locations and development standards
for public elementary and high schools and neighborhood-oriented schools
similar in function and curriculum to public elementary and high schools
where more intensive or more general use would be undesirable. The
regulations that apply within the district provide for institutions
of limited size that primarily serve nearby residents, affording opportunities
for pedestrian access to local services and minimizing vehicular trips.
Buildings in this district are intended to be compatible with those
in adjacent residential areas.
Permitted uses. Uses are permitted in NS Neighborhood Schools District in accordance with § 300-49. Accessory uses are permitted in accordance with Article XIII.
