In order to prevent the establishment of a greater number of
parking spaces than is actually required to serve the needs of nonresidential
uses, the Zoning Officer may permit a reduction of parking space if
the following conditions are satisfied:
A.
The design of the parking lot, as indicated on the land development
plan, must designate sufficient space to meet the parking requirements
of this chapter. The plan shall also illustrate the layout for the
total number of parking spaces and the stormwater management control
measures required for the total number of parking spaces.
B.
The reduction shall provide for the establishment of not less than
70% of the required number of parking spaces as specified in this
chapter.
C.
The balance of the parking area reserved shall not include areas
for required buffer yards, setbacks, or areas which would otherwise
be unsuitable for parking spaces due to the physical characteristics
of the land or other requirements of this chapter. The developer shall
provide a landscaping plan for the reserved area with the land development
plan.
D.
The developer shall enter into a written agreement with the Board
of Supervisors guaranteeing that the additional parking spaces shall
be provided at the developer's or owner's expense should it be determined
that the required number of parking spaces are necessary to satisfy
the need of the particular land development. This decision shall be
made at the sole discretion of the Board of Supervisors.
E.
At the time of the above-stated agreement, the developer or owner
shall post securities to cover the cost of installing the required
parking. The Board of Supervisors shall determine if the additional
spaces shall be provided by the developer or if the area shall remain
as open space.
[Ord. 558, 9/4/2012]
1.
Existing parking. Structures and uses in existence at the date of

2.
Conflict with other uses. No parking area shall be used for any use
that interferes with its availability for the parking need it is required
to serve.

[Amended by Ord. 587, 6/27/2018]
4.
Shared parking. Two or more uses may provide for required parking
in a common parking area if the total space provided is not less than
the sum of the spaces required for each use individually. However,
the number of spaces required in a common parking facility may be
reduced below this total if it can be demonstrated to the Township
that the hours or days of peak parking needed for the uses are different
and that a lower total will provide adequately for all uses served
by the facility.
|
Shared parking will be permitted under the following circumstances:
|
A.
The uses subject to shared parking must be either part of a single
lot, such as an office park, industrial park, or mixed-use development,
or the uses must be on lots that are physically adjacent to each other,
with cross easements or other arrangements that allow for shared driveways
and shared parking.
B.
Owners or applicants for all uses proposing to use the shared parking
arrangement must provide written agreements in a form acceptable to
the Township, outlining the terms of the shared parking arrangement.
C.
Shared parking may be approved by the Zoning Officer.
5.
Location of parking spaces. Required off-street parking spaces shall
be on the same lot or premises with the principal use served. If this
requirement cannot be met, then the size or capacity of the proposed
use must be reduced so that all parking requirements can be met.
6.
Off-site parking. Parking may be provided off site in accordance
with the following requirements and only if approved as a conditional
use by the Board of Supervisors:
A.
The applicant shall provide an agreement in writing that the parking
spaces are available and secured by lease or license, or the applicant
shall provide proof of the availability of the required parking spaces
which are not needed to meet the requirements of another use which
can be used for parking purposes by the applicant.
B.
This option may be used to meet up to 50% of the parking requirement.
C.
The use for which off-site parking is provided shall be discontinued
immediately upon loss of parking arrangements. Renewal of the lease
or license shall be provided to the Township annually.
D.
Off-site parking space arrangements are permitted only where the
off-site parking is located no more than 200 feet from the property
line of the use it serves and only for nonresidential uses, or in
the case where safe, protected pedestrian pathways are provided, the
distance may be extended to 300 feet from the property line.
7.
Maintenance of parking areas. All parking areas shall be graded,
surfaced with asphalt or other suitable material, and drained to the
satisfaction of the Township to the extent necessary to prevent dust,
erosion and/or flow across streets or other property. All off-street
parking spaces shall be marked so as to indicate their location.
[Ord. 558, 9/4/2012]
Suitable and safe off-street loading shall be provided for every
nonresidential structure which exceeds 10,000 square feet. Loading
docks, truck accessways, clearances and turning radii shall be shown
on all land development or zoning permit applications. If it is determined
that the use will be served by trucks for loading and unloading, then
loading spaces on site shall be provided in accordance with need.
No on-street loading or unloading is permitted.
