between any proposed nonresidential use, nonresidential overlay zoning
or nonresidential subdivision on a lot with an area of eight acres

zoning district (either Agricultural/Rural Residential - A/RR, or
Agricultural - AG). This requirement shall apply even if the adjacent
property is in another municipality or across a public street. For
property frontages abutting arterial and/or collector roads, this
requirement shall be reduced to a forty-foot-wide raised berm buffer
yard.

and evergreen, deciduous trees and flowering trees.

or drainage and/or utility facilities as may be required by Township
ordinances or fire or safety regulations and/or as may be required
and/or approved by the Board of Supervisors.
(5) The raised berm in the buffer yard may be undulating but shall have
an average height of 14 feet or as otherwise approved by the Board
of Supervisors during site or land development plan review. For property
frontages abutting arterial and/or collector roads, this requirement
shall be reduced to an average height of four feet.
(6) Minimum tree requirements.
(a)
The trees shall be planted in the following minimum amounts
per 100 linear feet of buffer, as measured parallel to the buffer
yard:
(b)
This landscaping shall be provided in addition to any landscaping
required by other Township regulations, except those required specifically
as a buffer screen.
(7) The plants shall be arranged on berms to provide a visual barrier
of any nonresidential use. A minimum of 1/2 of the flowering trees
shall be planted on the residential side of the berm.
(8) The height of evergreen trees shall be a minimum of eight feet at
the time of planting, measured from finished grade. The average size
of deciduous trees shall be a minimum two-inch caliper measured three
feet above finished grade, and deciduous trees shall also have a minimum
height of 12 feet at the time of planting. Flowering trees shall be
a minimum seven feet high at the time of planting.
(9) Berms within the buffer yards shall have a maximum slope of 3:1.
(10)
The toe of the slope of the berm shall begin at a minimum of
10 feet from the lot line.

the time of planting measured from finished grade. The average size
of deciduous trees shall be a minimum of two-inch caliper measured
three feet above finished grade, and deciduous trees shall also have
a minimum height of 12 feet at the time of planting. Flowering trees
shall be a minimum of seven feet high at the time of planting. Shrubs

[Added 11-12-2008 by Ord. No. 2008-16]
A. Applicability. The application of the rules and regulations of the
Business Park Overlay Zone (BPOZ) are strictly limited to existing
industrial and business parks which are or were:
(1)
In existence prior to 1980; and
(2)
Which contain undeveloped land as of the date of this ordinance;
and
(3)
Which contain undeveloped land subdivided into lots which do
not meet current bulk standards (size and/or dimension) set forth
in the Zoning Ordinance.
B. Applicable provisions.
(1)
Existing undeveloped parcels in an existing industrial or business park need not meet current minimum lot area, lot cover, and dimensional requirements so long as each such parcel meets the following minimum requirements (determined as modified pursuant to Subsection
B(2) below):
(a)
Minimum lot area: one acre;
(b)
Minimum lot width: 160 feet;
(c)
Maximum land coverage:
[1] By total impervious cover: 60%; and
(2)
Utility easements and sanitary drainage fields, for purpose
of the overlay only, may be included in the lot area calculations
used to determine lot area, lot cover, and other dimensional requirements.
(3)
Minimum setback requirements, if different from current ordinance
standards, shall not be deemed deficient if they equal or exceed the
setbacks on existing developed parcels within the industrial or business
park.
(4)
The one-hundred-foot-wide landscaped berm buffer requirements of §
250-22H between the existing zone and adjacent residentially zoned property shall not be required, so long as:
(a)
There exist mature plantings or elevation changes abutting the
property line which are satisfactory to the abutting property owner
as a substitute for a more pronounced berm or buffer (which satisfaction
shall be memorialized by the abutting property owner's written
consent, which shall be noted on the record plan); or
(b)
The property owner plants and maintains a staggered planting
buffer of evergreen material approved by the Board of Supervisors
between the two zones on each developed lot, and where required to
create a visual barrier from existing adjacent residential uses, as
reasonably determined by the Board of Supervisors, the buffer area
contains a berm of not less than four feet in height, onto which the
planting buffer may be placed.
(5)
Each building may contain multiple users, so long as each such
use is otherwise permitted in the LI/BP Zone or has been approved
by the Zoning Hearing Board of East Allen Township.
(6)
Parking areas and vehicular access drives for existing buildings
need not be modified to meet current Township parking and access standards,
except as required to assure an adequate number of parking spaces
for any additions to such existing buildings, except where an inadequate
number of parking spaces can be reasonably established for such an
expanded use.
(7)
For purposes of parking restrictions and requirements only,
yard areas fronting on public streets which are not used for building
access shall not be deemed front yards.
C. Other requirements. To assure that the impact of new uses authorized
in the Overlay Zone will not adversely impact neighboring properties,
the following regulations shall apply.
(1)
The operations of the occupant of any building within the Overlay
Zone shall comply with all applicable DEP and EPA rules, regulations
and statutes.
(2)
Discharge of any industrial, commercial and/or manufacturing
waste materials, other than domestic sewage discharged into approved
sanitary facilities, shall be prohibited.
(3)
Release of airborne particulate or other matter from operations
into the atmosphere shall occur in strict compliance with DEP and

(5)
All flammable materials stored on site, including paints and
solvents, must be stored in fireproof vaults, storage areas or cabinets.
[Added 10-17-2002 by Ord. No. 2002-9]
