[Amended 3-5-2020 by Ord. No. 2020-5]
With the exception of single- or multifamily
dwelling units, any change of permitted use will void the previously
issued certificate of occupancy and require the issuance of a new
certificate of occupancy, and the new use will be subject to site
plan review. Applications will be made on appropriate forms to the
Building Inspector, who shall issue a new certificate of occupancy
if the change is found to be acceptable. If in the opinion of the
Building Inspector the request for change of use is significant to
require Consolidated Land Use Board of Mansfield Township review,
then the Building Inspector shall forward the request to the Consolidated
Land Use Board of Mansfield Township for review and approval before
a new certificate of occupancy is issued.

A. Definitions. For site development which is not large
in scale but which does not qualify for site plan waiver, submission
as a minor site plan shall be permitted.
(1)
A "minor site plan" shall be defined as follows:
[Added 4-20-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-6; amended 9-21-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-13]
(a)
Building construction of less than 1,000 square
feet; and/or
(b)
Clearing, grading, paving or excavation of less
than 1,500 square fee; however, buildings in excess of 1,000 square
feet and/or clearing, grading, paving or excavation in excess of 1,500
square feet that is incident or accessory to an agricultural use of
the property shall be considered a minor site plan in recognition
of the Township’s right-to-farm commitment.
(2)
Any application which does not qualify for site
plan waiver or as a minor site plan shall be classified as a major
site plan. Public hearings are required for all minor or major site
plans but not for site plan waivers.
B. Required data. The required data to support a minor
site plan application are as follows:
(1)
A plan is required, which may be drawn by the
applicant;
(2)
The plan must show all existing improvements
on the site;
(3)
The plan must show those improvements to be
constructed;
(4)
The plan must show North arrow or North point;
(5)
The plan must contain a scale; and
(6)
The plan must show the zoning district in which
the property is located.
C. Term of approval. The zoning requirements and general
terms and conditions, whether conditional or otherwise, upon which
minor site plan approval was granted shall not be changed for a period
of two years after the date of minor site plan approval. The Consolidated
Land Use Board of Mansfield Township shall grant an extension of this
period for a period determined by the Board but not exceeding one
year from what would otherwise be the expiration date if the developer
proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board that the developer
was barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from proceeding with
the development because of delays in obtaining legally required approvals
from other governmental entities and that the developer applied promptly
for and diligently pursued the approvals. A developer shall apply
for this extension before what would otherwise be the expiration date
or before the 91st day after the date on which the developer receives
the last of the legally required approvals from the other government
entities, whichever occurs later.
