[Amended 3-16-2015 by Ord. No. 293-2015]
The R-1 Low-Density Residential District is comprised of those
areas where single-family detached dwellings are predominant. This
district generally coincides with potential sewer and water utility
service areas; however, the actual availability of these services
is likely to occur at different times, in different areas. As a result,
permitted densities and design standards have been adjusted according
to the availability of these public utilities.
Permitted-by-right uses shall be as follows:
A.
Single-family detached dwellings.
E.
Municipal uses.
F.
Publicly owned recreational facilities.
G.
Public and private schools and related uses subject to § 135-254, excluding vocational schools and dormitories.
H.
Public utility service structures.
I.
Accessory structures and uses customarily incidental to the above
permitted uses.
K.
Forestry and related uses; provided that the applicant provides copies
of the permits and approvals from the DEP, and/or any other applicable
state or federal permit authorizing such use to occur.
L.
Short-term lodging.
[Added 1-6-2020 by Ord. No. 320-2020]
The following uses are permitted when special exceptions are
granted by written approval of the Zoning Hearing Board. In granting
any special exception, the Board may attach certain conditions to
its approval which it feels are necessary requirements in order to
preserve and protect the character of the district in which the proposed
use would locate. The burden shall be upon the applicant to prove
that the approval of the application will not be detrimental to the
health, safety and general welfare of the community.
D.
Accessory structures and uses customarily incidental to the above
uses.
