[Ord. 01-09-18-1, 9/18/2001; as added by Ord. 2004-01, 4/6/2004, Art. X]
1.
Where a use fronts an existing street, the front yard setback shall be established so as to maintain the prevailing setback of existing buildings upon the same street within 300 feet of this use. This provision supersedes the applicable front yard setback required in § 27-1203.
2.
Parking shall be located in the side or rear yards of buildings and
not in the front yard or in front of the buildings. The use of alleys,
where not already required by Township ordinances, is strongly encouraged.
3.
Development within the VC District shall be designed to protect and
preserve the character of the village it encompasses by employing
design, scale, materials and architecture that is consistent with
the historic character of that village. Architecture of proposed buildings
shall be reviewed and approved by the Township as part of the development
review process. Architectural drawings shall be submitted to the Township
for each proposed building, structure, addition and/or renovation.
4.
Use G9, Eating Place, shall be designed to fit into the Village District
and shall meet the requirements of Use G5, Village Oriented Shop,
in terms of size and other requirements.
5.
Bufferyards are not required for adjacent roads in the VC District.
6.
Developments containing or proposing six or more lots, units, uses
or buildings shall comply with the following requirements. Such developments
within the VC District may be comprised entirely of single-family
detached dwellings. No other single-use developments are allowed within
the District. Developments that encompass or create six or more lots,
units, uses and/or buildings and propose uses other than single-family
detached dwellings shall contain a mix of uses. In such a mixed-use
development, a minimum of 50% of the dwellings must be single-family
detached dwellings. Every 4,000 square feet of commercial/nonresidential
space, or part thereof, shall be considered a separate building/unit
for this calculation.
7.
Where a lot has frontage on two or more streets, the front facade
of the primary building(s) on the lot shall face the street with the
higher classification.
8.
Garages and parking areas shall be located at least 10 feet behind
the front building facade of the dwelling they serve, excluding the
front porch, if any.
9.
Use B3, Land Subdivision with Transferable Development Rights (TDRs).
A.
Use B3, Land Preservation Subdivision with TDRs, is only permitted
where transferable development rights are obtained to increase the
density of the proposed development. Under this use, the density of
the development may be increased to seven dwelling units per acre
from five dwelling units per acre. For each dwelling unit added to
the site above the five dwelling units per acre normally allowed,
one transferable development right shall be acquired and transferred
to the site. Every 4,000 square feet of commercial/nonresidential
space or part thereof shall be considered a separate dwelling unit
for this calculation.
B.
Any use allowed with the VC District by right, conditional use or special exception may be included within a B3, Land Preservation Subdivision with TDRs, provided that such use conforms with the applicable area and dimensional criteria set forth in § 27-1203 of this Part.
C.
All requirements generally applicable to a specific use shall apply to that use when constructed as a part of a B3, Land Preservation Subdivision with TDRs, except density requirements may be modified as set forth in Subsection 9A above.
D.
A B3, Land Preservation Subdivision with TDRs, will be approved only
where the benefits and purposes of the area to be preserved through
the transfer of development rights meets Township goals of land preservation.
E.
A B3, Land Preservation Subdivision with TDRs, is only permitted
where TDRs are used to increase the density of a proposed development.
Properties eligible for sending TDRs are defined in Part 28 and are
limited to properties enrolled in the Township's Agricultural Security
Area or properties nominated for preservation by the Township.
