[Amended 3-2-1993 by Ord. No. 152]
Within the Mobile Home Park District, property may be used for a mobile home park, which may include the following uses:
A. Residential uses. A mobile home park may include single- or double-width mobile homes, single-family detached modular homes, conventionally built single-family detached homes and lot line homes or a combination of these, but shall not include travel trailers or motor homes. No more than 40% of the total number of dwelling units in a mobile home park may be conventionally built single-family detached or lot line homes.
B. The following accessory uses for the uses of mobile home park residents shall be permitted only as part of an approved development plan for the site:
(2) Grocery or convenience store, not to exceed 1,500 square feet.
C. Accessory structures shall be permitted on individual lots, as specified in §
184-71 herein.
D. Nothing in this article shall be considered to prohibit the rental, sale or resale of a mobile home located on a mobile home stand and connected to all utilities. Similarly, a model or display area is permissible on a temporary basis, provided that models are developed in accordance with all applicable regulations of this article and that use of the models for sales or rental promotion ceases when the project is fully developed.
E. Age-restricted mobile home park community.
(1) An age-restricted mobile home park community may be permitted as a conditional use, subject to the standards established herein in §
184-127, and elsewhere in the Limerick Township ordinances. An "age-restricted community" is defined as follows: any mobile home park in which at least 80% of the residences are occupied by adult singles or couples at least one of whom is 55 years of age or more.
(2) In the case of an existing mobile home park being converted to an age-restricted mobile home park community, households who established residency prior to the granting of the conditional use may remain regardless of their age. At least 80% of the residences occupied after the granting of the conditional use must be occupied by adult singles or couples at least one of whom is 55 years of age or more.
F. Mixed residential development option. The mixed residential development option shall be permitted as a conditional use, subject to the standards established herein in §
184-127.1 and §
184-43. The mixed-use residential development option by conditional use requires the following:
[Added 6-7-2016 by Ord. No. 367]
(1) The landowner must prove at the time of the conditional use hearing that adequate public water and public sewer is available for the project and that there is capacity in the existing collection system and related pump stations, as well as the sewer treatment plant for the use that is being proposed. This may involve a commitment from the landowner to pay for an expansion to the system.
(2) If the conditional use is granted, none of the remaining parcel shall ever be used for a mobile home park development.
(3) If the official street map of the Township indicates a road to be placed anywhere on the landowner's property, then at the time of conditional use, the applicant must file a covenant running with the land indicating that the applicant will install the road at the applicant's expense under the specifications approved by the Township and that the road will be completely installed before any zoning use permit or certificate of occupancy is issued for any of the units on the subject property. At the time of the conditional use hearing, the applicant must show all landscaping for the plan, as well as the landscaping and streetscape improvements within the adjacent Main Street District that are required by the Main Street Zoning District. As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to install all landscaping and streetscape improvements required by the Main Street District before any zoning use permit is permitted for any construction, except any adjustment agreed to by the Board of Supervisors.
[Amended 8-15-2017 by Ord. No. 379]
(4) As part of the conditional use hearing, the applicant must prove that they have conceptual agreement from PennDOT or the county for any roads to be built or any roads to be realigned or vacated. It does not have to be a final HOP permit, but the applicant must obtain something, in writing, saying that PennDOT is in general agreement with the concept or, if it is a county road, that the County is in general agreement with the concept.
