Approval in accordance with this chapter shall be required for:
A. Any land development, as defined by this chapter, other than those excluded by §
242-8 of this chapter.
B. Any subdivision, as defined by this chapter, including the redivision
or replatting of previously recorded lots or lot line adjustments
for previously recorded lots.
C. The consolidation, as defined by this chapter, of two or more lots,
tracts or parcels of land for the purpose of one development.
D. Any development in which the developer proposes or intends to construct
streets or any other public improvement to be dedicated to the Township
for public use.
The following types of land developments are hereby excluded
from the provisions of this chapter governing land developments, as
defined herein:
A. The conversion of an existing single-family dwelling or two-family
dwelling into not more than three residential dwelling units, unless
such units are intended to be a condominium;
B. The addition of an accessory building, including farm buildings,
on a lot or lots subordinate to an existing principal building; or
C. The addition or conversion of buildings or rides within the confines
of an enterprise which would be considered an amusement park. For
purposes of this subsection, an amusement park is defined as a tract
or area used principally as a location for permanent amusement structures
or rides. This exclusion shall not apply to newly acquired acreage
by an amusement park until initial plans for the expanded area have
been approved by proper authorities.
Lots containing existing two-family dwellings or townhouse dwellings may be subdivided along the party wall between two dwelling units without obtaining a variance even though the required side yard is zero on the party wall lot line and even though the new lot containing one dwelling unit is less than the minimum required by the Zoning Ordinance, provided the original lot meets the minimum lot area requirements of the zoning district in which it is located and there is no increase in the dwelling unit density on the original lot. A vacant lot shall not be created which does not meet the minimum requirements of Chapter
280, Zoning.
