Subdivision and Land Development Limitations. It is the intent of
the Township to preserve and protect agriculture and to preserve prime
agricultural soils through limitations on subdivision and land development.
A.
Number of Lots, Dwellings or Other Principal Nonagricultural Buildings
Permitted.
(1)
For each parent tract of required minimum size, and meeting
such requirements as defined elsewhere in this chapter, there shall
be permitted one single-family dwelling with such structures, attachments,
accessories and/or fixtures as permitted elsewhere in this chapter,
plus.
(a)
For parent tracts of five acres and above held as of February
7, 2002, or such date thereafter when said land was first included
in the A Agricultural Zone, such structures as necessary for farm
occupation, by right or special exception; plus
1)
The erection of another principal nonagricultural building for
each additional five acres rounded down to the nearest five and not
including the first five acres, and held as of February 7, 2002, or
such date thereafter when said land was first included in the A Agricultural
Zone; or
2)
The erection of one accessory single-family dwelling (farm or
nonfarm) for each additional five acres rounded down to the nearest
five and not including the first five acres, and held as of February
7, 2002, or such date thereafter when said land was first included
in the A Agricultural Zone; or
3)
The subdivision of one lot for each additional five acres rounded
down to the nearest five and not including the first five acres, and
held as of February 7, 2002, or such date thereafter when said land
was first included in the A Agricultural Zone.
(2)
Any subdivision or land development plan hereinafter filed with
the applicable approving body for subdivision or land development
of a lot in this zone shall specify which lot or lots shall carry
with it a right of further subdivision or erection of accessory farm
or nonfarm single-family dwellings or principal nonagricultural buildings,
if any such right remains from the quota allocated to the parent tract.
This right of further subdivision or erection of accessory farm or
nonfarm single-family dwellings or principal nonagricultural buildings,
or an indication that no further subdivision or erection of such dwellings
or principal buildings is permissible, shall also be included in the
deed to the newly created lot. This restriction shall remain in effect
as long as further subdivision is prohibited under the zoning ordinance
then in effect.
(3)
The number of lots that may be created or accessory farm or
nonfarm single-family dwellings or other principal nonagricultural
buildings that may be erected on the parent tract shall be fixed according
to the parent tract. This number shall not be increased by the subdivision
of such parent tract. Any subsequent owner of a parent tract or land
remaining in a parent tract after subdivision shall be bound by the
actions of his predecessor.
(4)
Any land development, the purpose of which is to permit the
erection of a permanent accessory farm or nonfarm single-family dwelling
on a parent tract which has previously been improved with a dwelling
which also will remain on the parent tract or to permit the erection
of a structure for an additional principal use on the parent tract
shall be considered a subdivision for the purposes of this section.
It is the purpose and intent of this section to limit the development
of agricultural tracts for nonagricultural purposes regardless of
whether such development is accomplished by subdivision or land development
as those terms are defined in the Municipalities Planning Code.
B.
After determining the total number of lots available to a parent tract in § 204, Subsection 4A(1), the number of these lots that may be subdivided in the A Agricultural Zone without the construction of a new street (or streets) shall be limited by the amount of road frontage on a public or private road(s) or street(s) existing on February 7, 2002. The maximum number of lots that may be subdivided without the construction of a new street (or streets) shall be fixed as follows:
(1)
One lot shall be permitted to be subdivided for each 300 linear
feet of road frontage. The maximum number of lots that may be subdivided
shall be calculated after 300 linear feet has been deducted from the
total road frontages to allow for the existing use on the lot.
C.
Where a new street(s) is proposed, the maximum number of lots permitted to be subdivided shall not exceed the number of lots as provided for in Subsection 4A(1) above.
D.
Exemptions From Limitation on Subdivision of Land. The following types of subdivisions shall not be counted against the subdivision/land development quota established by Subsection 4A(1) above:
(1)
A subdivision, the sole purpose of which is to transfer land
to increase the size of a tract being used for agricultural purposes.
(2)
A subdivision to create a lot that will be transferred to the
Township or a municipality authority created by the Township.
(3)
A subdivision, the sole purpose of which is to transfer land
to the adjoiner(s) to be combined with an existing lot(s).
E.
Requirements for Plans and Deeds Relating to Lands Within the A Agricultural
Zone.
(1)
Any subdivision or land development plan hereafter filed with
the applicable approving body for subdivision or land development
of land in the A Agricultural Zone shall specify on the recorded plan
which lot or lots shall carry a right of further subdivision or erection
of accessory farm or nonfarm single-family dwellings or other principal
nonagricultural buildings, if any such right remains from the quota
allocated to the parent tract on February 7, 2002, or on the date
when such land was first included in the ) Agricultural Zone, whichever
is later.
(a)
The right of further subdivision or erection of accessory farm
or nonfarm single-family dwellings or other principal nonagricultural
buildings, or a statement that no further subdivision or erection
of accessory farm or nonfarm single-family dwellings or other principal
nonagricultural buildings is permissible, shall also be included in
the deed to the newly created lot.
(b)
If the designation of the right of further subdivision or erection
of additional accessory farm or nonfarm single-family dwellings or
other principal nonagricultural buildings was not included on a subdivision
or land development plan or deed, it shall be conclusively presumed
that the largest lot remaining after subdivision shall carry the right
of further subdivision or erection of additional accessory farm or
nonfarm single-family dwellings or other principal nonagricultural
buildings, if any such right remains from the quota allocated to the
parent tract on February 7, 2002, or on the date when such land was
first included in the A Agricultural Zone, whichever is later.
(2)
Any deed for the conveyance of any lot, parcel, purpart or tract
of any parent tract, for which the filing with the applicable approving
body of a subdivision or land development plan is not required, shall
specify on the deed for the remaining portion of the parent tract
and for the lot, parcel, purpart or tract to be conveyed which lot
or lots, parcel or parcels, purpart or purparts or tract or tracts
shall carry the right of further subdivision or erection of accessory
farm or nonfarm single-family dwellings or other principal nonagricultural
buildings, if any such right remains from the quota allocated to the
parent tract on February 7, 2002, or on the date when such land was
first included in the A Agricultural Zone, whichever is later.
(a)
If the designation of the right of further subdivision or erection
of additional accessory farm or nonfarm single-family dwellings or
other principal nonagricultural buildings was not included on the
deed for the remaining portion of the parent tract and for the lot,
parcel, purpart or tract to be conveyed, it shall be conclusively
presumed that the larger of the parent tract or lot, parcel, purpart
or tract to be conveyed shall carry the right of further subdivision
or erection of additional accessory farm or nonfarm single-family
dwellings or other principal nonagricultural buildings, if any such
right remains from the quota allocated to the parent tract on February
7, 2002, or on the date when such land was first included in the A
Agricultural Zone, whichever is later.
5.
Lot Area and Width. Except as provided for elsewhere in this chapter,
lot area and lot width shall be provided according to the following
dimensions for each principal use hereafter established in this zone:
A.
Minimum lot area:
(1)
Single-family detached dwelling: one acre (43,560 square feet).[1]
[1]
Note: However; the minimum required lot size shall be no smaller
than is required to meet all applicable setbacks and Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) requirements for the
location of on-site water supply and sewage disposal facilities, including
replacement system location, and to ensure the provision of an adequate
water supply.
(2)
Farm: five acres.
B.
Maximum residential lot size: 1.5 acres.
(1)
A nonfarm lot on which a new single-family detached dwelling
is to be located shall not contain more than 1 1/2 acres (65,340
square feet) unless the physical characteristics of the land itself
require a lot size in excess of 1 1/2 acres. In the event that
additional land is required, the amount of land in excess of 1 1/2
acres shall be the minimum amount necessary to make the lot suitable
for the location of the proposed dwelling and any on-site sewage disposal
and water supply systems serving that dwelling.
(2)
The Board of Supervisors shall determine the propriety of any
such oversize lot, provided that the maximum lot size approved by
the Board of Supervisors shall not exceed two acres in the case of
a single-family detached dwelling or 2 1/2 acres in the case
of a two-family dwelling. The Board of Supervisors may approve residual
lots larger than these sizes in the cases of unsubdividable residual
land with no dwelling rights, where unique circumstances exist such
as topography, location, roads, etc., which otherwise cause the acreage
to be unusable and allow it to be included with the last subdivided
lot of a subdivision.
(3)
In all other cases, any application requesting a lot size in excess of the maximum sizes set forth in § 204, Subsection 5B(1) or (2), shall be submitted as a variance to the Manheim Township Zoning Hearing Board rather than to the Board of Supervisors. Further, a decision adverse to an applicant by the Manheim Township Board of Supervisors with respect to lot size changes within the jurisdiction of the Board of Supervisors shall not extinguish the applicant's right to make an application to the Manheim Township Zoning Hearing Board for the same relief.
6.
7.
Building Height. The building height limit shall be 50 feet. There
shall be no height limitation for farm buildings provided such buildings
are set back a horizontal distance at least equal to their height
from any property or right-of-way line.
[Ord. 2002-01, 2/7/2002, § 205]
1.
Purpose. The purpose of this zone is to designate those areas where,

Purpose. The purpose of the Village Zone is to promote a village
concept centered on the Manheim Elementary School, which is a focal
point for the community. The Village Zone permits a mixture of residential
and convenience-type commercial uses which will compliment the surrounding
residences and serve as an asset to the remainder of the Township.
The residential uses and densities in this zone are similar to those
of the Rural Residential Zone. The one exception would be that commercial
and residential could be combined in the same building. In this case,
the residential use would be considered the accessory use to the commercial
use on that property. The size and type of commercial uses permitted
in the Village Zone are controlled to ensure compatibility with existing
and future residences. Such uses will have less than 3,000 square
feet of building floor area.

1.
Purpose. The General Commerce Zone is primarily for people to work
and shop in. This zone provides for a mixture of uses, including highway-oriented
commercial areas (such as vehicle service stations, restaurants, motels,
etc.), retail and office uses, wholesaling businesses, warehousing,
research and development laboratories and industrial uses. The Township's
topography, transportation network and utility services limit the
locations where such sites can be located. Although these areas contain
some prime agricultural soils, the locations of the General Commerce
Zones minimize the impact on the Township's remaining prime agricultural
areas by limiting such uses to confined areas of the Township.

1.
General Provisions. The Flood Plain Zone shall encompass all lands
and land developments within the Township of Manheim which are located
within the boundary of an identified flood plain area as shown on
the map which accompanies the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) prepared
for the Township by the Federal Insurance Administration Agency (FIA),
dated October 4, 1982, (or the most recent revision thereof), which
map is incorporated herein by reference.
2.
Conformance with Other Regulations. Uses permitted and procedures to follow for development in the Flood Plain Zone are presented in Chapter 8 (Floodplains) of the Code of Ordinances of Manheim Township, as amended. Said chapter supplements other provisions of this chapter. To the extent that Chapter 8 imposes greater requirements or more complete disclosures in any respect, or to the extent that the provisions of said Chapter 8 are more restrictive, it shall be deemed and interpreted to control other provisions of this chapter and Township Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance [Chapter 22].
3.
Overlay Concept. The Flood Plain Zone described above shall be an overlay to the existing underlying zones, as shown on the Official Manheim Township Zoning Map, and, as such, the provisions of Chapter 8 shall serve as a supplement to the underlying zoning district provisions.
A.
In the event of any conflict between the provisions or requirements
of the Flood Plain Zone and those of any underlying zoning district,
the more restrictive provisions shall apply.
B.
In the event any provision concerning a Flood Plain Zone is declared
inapplicable or illegal as a result of any legislative or administrative
actions or judicial decision, the regulations of the underlying district
shall remain applicable.
