Except as provided for by law, no building, structure, land,
lot or premises shall be used for any purposes other than as permitted
in this chapter.
It is the intent of this article to provide clear and specific
standards for uses permitted within the various East Greenville Borough
zoning districts, including design standards for uses permitted in
more than one district.
A.
When a use is proposed, the Zoning Officer shall make the final determination
on which use classification described herein best or most closely
defines or matches the use being proposed. If a proposed use meets
the definition of more than one use classification, as defined herein,
the most specific use classification which matches most precisely
the proposed use shall be used.
B.
When a proposed use does not precisely match a use classification
defined herein, the Zoning Officer shall determine which described
use it most closely matches. If the principal use proposed is similar
in most respects to a given described use, as determined by the Zoning
Officer, then the proposed use shall be classified according to the
use defined herein.
C.
All uses permitted by right, by conditional use or by special exception
shall be subject to the use regulations herein, as well as any applicable
district regulations, and any other applicable provisions as are specified
in this chapter. If there is a conflict between the use regulations
herein and any other applicable regulations, the more restrictive
regulation shall apply, unless otherwise noted.
D.
A building, structure, lot, or premises shall be permitted only one
principal use, except as may be provided for in this chapter.
E.
A building, structure, lot, premises, or use shall not be altered,
partitioned or subdivided in any manner for the purpose of creating
an additional principal use, or additional accessory uses, except
as may be provided for in this chapter.
A.
Use by right. In any given district, a use is permitted by right
provided it is listed as such in the district regulations, provided
it can comply with the applicable use regulations stated herein, and
provided a use and occupancy permit has been duly issued by East Greenville
Borough, as specified in this chapter.
B.
Use by conditional use approval. In any district, a use is permitted
by conditional use approval provided it is listed and meets the conditions
in the district regulations, and provided it can comply with the applicable
use regulations stated herein. In addition, the use is subject to
approval or denial by Borough Council. If approved, Borough Council
may impose further conditions to ensure the protection of adjacent
uses and the health, safety and general welfare of the residents,
and to implement the purposes of this chapter and the Pennsylvania
Municipalities Planning Code, 53 P.S. § 10101 et seq. Following
approval and conditions of Borough Council, the use is subject to
all other applicable codes, permits, regulations, and standards expressed
in this chapter.
C.
Use by special exception. In any district, a use is permitted by
special exception provided it is listed as such in the district regulations,
and provided it can comply with the applicable use regulations stated
herein. In addition, the use is subject to approval or denial by the
Borough Zoning Hearing Board. If approved, the Zoning Hearing Board
may impose further conditions to insure the protection of adjacent
uses and the health, safety and general welfare of the residents and
to implement the purposes of this chapter and the Pennsylvania Municipalities
Planning Code, 53 P.S. § 10101 et seq. Following approval
and conditions of the Zoning Hearing Board, the use is subject to
all other applicable codes, permits, regulations, and standards expressed
in this chapter.
D.
Accessory uses permitted.
(1)
An accessory use is permitted if it is listed as a permitted accessory
use in the district use provisions. Accessory uses not listed as such
are not permitted, except when the Zoning Officer determines a use
qualifies as "subordinate and customarily incidental to" the principal
use of the subject tract.
(2)
Accessory uses, when permitted, are subject to the district regulations,
the provisions of the uses regulations established herein, and all
other applicable sections of this chapter.
(3)
Accessory uses shall be subordinate to a permitted principal use
on the lot and may not in any case be a principal use.
(4)
Any proposed use that is accessory to a use that is permitted by
conditional use, special exception, or variance shall require the
same level of review and approval.
E.
Uses not permitted. Any use not listed in the district in question
as explained above is not permitted.
F.
Use by variance. Any use not permitted in the district regulations
or conforming to the use regulations or applicable provisions of this
chapter may be permitted if a variance for relief of those requirements
is granted by the Zoning Hearing Board. If approved, the Board may
impose further conditions to ensure the protection of adjacent uses,
and the health, safety and general welfare of the residents. Following
approval and conditions of the Board, the use is subject to all other
applicable codes, permits, regulations, and standards expressed in
this chapter.
