There shall be a front yard of not less than 35 feet
at any point from the property line and not less than 60 feet at any

In this district, a loading and access area

This area shall be sufficiently large so that any vehicle, while servicing
such commercial building, shall not protrude out into any street or
sidewalk and this area, in all cases, shall be at least 20 feet in
depth. The purposes of this area, inter alia, shall be to grant rear
or side access to the building for fire and police protection and

In order to reduce traffic hazards, where physically
feasible, access to commercial lots on PA Route 51 shall be limited

In the event that shared access to a signalized intersection is not
physically feasible or practical, the edge of any driveway which intersects
with PA Route 51 shall be located at least 200 feet from the edge
of any other driveway on the same side of the street which intersects
with PA Route 51. Lots which cannot meet the requirement for minimum
distances between driveways because of lack of sufficient road frontage
shall locate any driveway at the maximum practical distance from any
other driveway on the same side of the street.
All authorized uses in this district shall be subject to the application requirements and approval procedures for site plan approval specified in § 374-71 of this chapter.
