The Board of Supervisors shall administer the provisions of this Article
XII, which administration shall include the approval, modification or disapproval of any development plan; provided, however, that subject to any inconsistent provisions of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, the Board of Supervisors may by resolution from time to
time designate the Township Planning Commission as the official agency
of the Board of Supervisors for any or all of such purposes, either
generally or with respect to one or more specific developments, and
may from time to time by resolution revoke or amend any such designations.
No application for tentative approval of a planned
active adult community shall be considered or approved unless the
following conditions are met:
A. The proposed planned active adult community consists
of one or more contiguous parcels of land under one ownership containing
50 or more acres of land, located in a R-PRD-3 Residence — Planned
Active Adult Community District of the Township.
B. The proposed planned active adult community will be
connected to public water and a public sanitary sewer system.
C. Both water supply and sewage disposal system shall
be operational at the time of occupancy of the first completed structure.
D. The proposed development is found to be consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan for Concord Township.
A developer may construct a planned active adult
community in stages if the following criteria are met:
A. The application for tentative approval covers the entire planned active adult community and shows the location and approximate time of construction for each stage, in addition to other information required by this Article
XII.
B. At least 15% of the dwelling units in the plan given
tentative approval are included in the first stage, as well as all
recreation facilities, landscaping, roads and water retention areas
reasonably necessary to accommodate that stage.
C. The second and subsequent stages are completed consistent
with the tentatively approved plan and are of such size and location
that they constitute economically sound units of development. In no
event shall such stages contain less than 15% of the dwelling units
receiving tentative approval. In the case of development plans which
call for development over a period of years, a schedule showing the
proposed times within which applications for final approval of all
sections of the planned active adult community are intended to be
filed, and this schedule must be updated annually, on the anniversary
of its approval, until the development is completed and accepted.
D. Gross residential density may be varied from stage
to stage; provided, however, that final approval shall not be given
to any stage if the gross residential density by type of dwelling
of the area which includes stages already finally approved and the
stage for which final approval is being sought exceeds by more than
10% the gross residential density for each type of dwelling unit allowed
for the entire planned active adult community in the tentatively approved
plan. Where it is necessary to allocate open space to early stages
to avoid exceeding maximum gross residential densities, the developer
may be required to grant an open space easement or covenant to the
Township specifying the amount, and if necessary, the location of
open space.
The applicant shall be required to pay to the
Township review fees in accordance with the provisions of Section
503 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code.
Any person, partnership or corporation who or which violates any provision of this Article
XII shall be subject to the enforcement remedies provided for in Section 712.2 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code.
