The lot or yard requirements for any new building or use shall
not include any part of a lot that is required by any other building
or use to comply with the requirements of this chapter. No required
lot or area shall include any property, the ownership of which has
been transferred subsequent to the effective date of this chapter,
if such property was a part of the area required for compliance with
the dimensional requirements applicable to the lot from which such
transfer was made.
[Ord. 3/29/1990A, § 1301; as amended by Ord. 12-02,
6/19/2012, § 17; and by Ord. 12-04, 10/8/2012, § 17]

1.
The provisions of Parts 4 through 7 shall not prevent the construction
of a detached dwelling on any lot which meets the conditions specified
below.
A.
A rear lot may serve only one detached dwelling. A rear lot for a
nonresidential use or another form of residential use is not permitted.
B.
Each lot must have a separate, fee simple, access extending to a
street.
C.
The area of the access lane shall not be included in the calculation
of the minimum lot area.
D.

lot line of the lot in front of the rear lot. The side lot line shall
be measured from the street right-of-way to the rear lot line, as
defined by this chapter.
 |
E.
The front yard setback for a rear lot shall be a distance equal to
the front yard requirement for the district in which the lot is located
and shall be measured from the rear property line of the land between
the subject lot and the street. In the case where this rear property
line is not straight or is otherwise positioned so that more than
one interpretation of the correct positioning of the building setback
line of the rear lot is possible, the Zoning Officer shall establish
said line. Should the applicant contest the Zoning Officer's decision,
the applicant may appeal to the Zoning Hearing Board, using the procedures
established in this chapter.
F.
Only one tier of rear lots behind the lots with full frontage on
the street will be permitted on a tract, that is, a rear lot must
be located directly behind and abut a lot with full frontage on the
street. A rear lot shall not be located fully or partially behind
another rear lot.
G.
Except in the R-2 and R-2M districts, not more than 5% of the lots
in a subdivision or on a tract may be rear lots.
H.
If the proposed rear lot is large enough to further subdivide under
the zoning requirements at the time the subdivision is proposed, the
minimum lane width shall be at least 52 feet for its entire length.
I.
Not more than two lanes of rear lots may be adjacent to each other
at the street.

3/26/2007, § 11]
1.
No building and no part of a building shall be erected within nor
shall project into, any required yard in any district, except that:
A.
An unenclosed roof-covered porch, platform or landing place, the
floor shall not be more than four feet above grade, may be erected
to extend into a required front yard a distance of not more than 10
feet; provided, that in no case shall it extend into such front yard
more than 1/2 the required depth of the yard.
B.
Any structure that creates an impervious area must comply with the
building coverage requirements. An unenclosed roof-covered porch,
platform or landing place, canopy or trellis, which does not extend
above the level of the first floor of the building may be erected
to extend into a required rear yard; provided, that it shall not extend
into such yard more than 1/2 the required depth or width of the yard.
C.
A buttress, chimney, cornice, pier or pilaster of a building may
project not more than two feet into a required yard.
D.
Bay windows and balconies may project not more than three feet into
a required yard. Steps and unenclosed fire escapes may project not

E.
No projections shall extend into an ultimate right-of-way.
[Ord. 3/29/1990A, § 1307; as amended by Ord. 01-6,
10/22/2001, § 23; by Ord. 05-06, 8/22/2005, § 36;
and by Ord. 09-03, 6/22/2009, § 19]
1.
No accessory building or structure shall be located within the required
minimum front yard setback except that school bus shelters may be
located in front yards but not closer than 12 feet to any cartway.
2.
No accessory buildings other than school bus shelters and accessory
buildings for Uses A8, B1, B2 and B3 shall be located within the required
minimum side or rear yards of the principal use.
3.
Completely detached accessory buildings for Uses A8, B1, B2 and B3
and school bus shelters may occupy a required side or rear yard, but
shall not be located closer than five feet to any side or rear property
line on lots with an area of 25,000 square feet or less, and shall
not be located less than 12 feet to any side or rear property line
on all other lots. Such accessory buildings must be behind (to the
rear) of the principal building located on the same lot.
[Ord. 3/29/1990A, § 1308; as amended by Ord. 05-06,
8/22/2005, § 37; by Ord. 12-02, 6/19/2012, § 18;
and by Ord. 12-04, 10/8/2012, § 18]
Unless specifically required by another section of this chapter,
fences, hedges and walls (other than walls of a building) no higher
than four feet above the natural grade may be located in any required
front yard, and no higher than six feet above the natural grade in
any other required yard. No fences, hedges or walls shall be located
in any ultimate right-of-way.
[Ord. 3/29/1990A, § 1309; as amended by Ord. 95-8,
9/25/1995, § 3N]
The height of buildings is regulated to prevent loss of life
or excessive property damage through the inability of fire equipment
to reach upper stories or roofs. Therefore, no building shall exceed
a height of 35 feet, except church spires, belfries, silos, water
towers, smokestacks, solar panels, wind generator towers, antennas,
television towers, masts, aerials, cellular communications/telecommunications
towers or flagpoles; provided, they are not used for human occupancy
and are setback 1.25 times their height (from ground level to the
top of the structure) from a building or property line.
[Ord. 3/29/1990A, § 1310]
No fence or wall (except a retaining wall or wall of a building) shall be erected over six feet in height except as required in § 27-2008, Storage and Waste Disposal. The Zoning Hearing Board may authorize the erection of walls or fences of greater height in such cases as may be necessary to provide adequate protection, shielding or screening of open storage or equipment areas.
[Ord. 3/29/1990A, § 1311]
1.
No structure, fence, planting or other obstruction shall be maintained
between a vertical plane two feet above curb level and a plane seven
feet above curb level so as to interfere with traffic visibility across
the corner within that part of the required yard which is within a
horizontal clear-sight triangle boundary by the two street lines and
a straight line drawn between points on each such line 25 feet from
the intersection of said lines or extensions thereof. When one or
both streets which form the intersection are classified as collector
or arterial highways, the clear-sight triangle bounded by the two
street lines and a straight line drawn between points on such line
shall be 50 feet from the intersection of said lines or extension
thereof.
 |
2.
At each point where a private access way intersects a public street
or road, clear-sight triangles of 10 feet measured from the point
of intersection of the street line and the edge of the accessway,
shall be maintained, within which vegetation and other visual obstructions
shall be limited to a height of not more than two feet above the street
grade.
[Ord. 3/29/1990A, § 1312]
2.
Ingress and egress for nonresidential uses shall be designed so that
vehicles shall not be required to back out onto a street or another
lot. Wherever possible, ingress and egress for residential uses shall
be designed so that vehicles shall not be required to back out onto
a street or another lot.
3.
Parking areas for all uses shall be designed to permit each motor
vehicle to proceed to and from the parking space provided for it without
requiring the moving of any other motor vehicle.
4.
Structures and uses in existence at the date of adoption of this
chapter shall not be subject to the requirements of this section so
long as the kind or extent of use is not changed; provided, that any
parking facility now serving such structures or uses shall not, in
the future, be reduced below such requirements.
5.
Whenever there is an alteration of a structure or a change or extension
of a use which increases the parking requirements according to the
standards of this chapter, the total additional parking required for
the alteration, change or extension shall be provided in accordance
with the requirements of that section.
6.
No parking area shall be used for any use that interferes with its
availability for the parking need it is required to serve.
7.
All required facilities shall be provided and maintained so long
as the use exists which the facilities were designed to serve. Off-street
parking facilities shall not be reduced in total extent after their
provision, except upon the approval of the Zoning Hearing Board and
then only after proof that, by reason of diminution in floor area,
seating area, the number of employees, or change in other factors
controlling the regulation of the number of parking spaces, such reduction
is in conformity with the requirements of this part. Reasonable precautions
shall be taken by the owner or sponsor of a use to assure the availability
of required facilities to the employees or other persons whom the
facilities are designed to serve. Such facilities shall be designed
and used in such a manner as to at no time constitute a nuisance,
a hazard or an unreasonable impediment to traffic.
8.
Two or more uses may provide for required parking in a common parking
lot 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
by special exception if it can be demonstrated to the Zoning Hearing
Board that the hours or days of peak parking needed for the uses are
so different that a lower total will provide adequately for all uses
served by the facility.
[Ord. 3/29/1990A, § 1313]
1.
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 Board of Supervisors, after consulting with the Planning
Commission and Township Engineer, may permit a conditional reduction
of parking space if the following conditions are satisfied:
B.
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.
C.
The conditional reduction shall provide for the establishment of
not less than 80% of the required number of parking spaces, as specified
in this chapter. This initial phase of the parking provision shall
be clearly indicated on the plan.
D.
The balance of the parking area conditionally 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. This parking area
which is reserved shall be located and have characteristics so as
to provide amenable open space should it be determined the additional
parking spaces are not required. The developer shall provide a landscaping
plan or the reserved area with the land development plan.
E.
The developer shall enter into a written agreement with the Board
of Supervisors that, after one year following the issuing of the last
occupancy permit, 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.
F.
At the time of the above-stated agreement, the developer or owner shall post a performance bond or other securities to cover the expense of a traffic study to be undertaken by a registered traffic engineer of the Board of Supervisors choosing who shall determine the advisability of providing the full parking requirement. Said study shall be undertaken one year after the issuance of the last occupancy permit pursuant to Subsection 1E, above. With recommendations of the traffic engineer, the Township Engineer and the Planning Commission, 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.
G.
Land which has been determined and designated by the Board of Supervisors
to remain as open space rather than as required parking shall not
be used to provide parking spaces for any addition or expansion of
building area or floor area but shall remain as open space.
[Ord. 3/29/1990A, § 1314; as amended by Ord. 05-06,
8/22/2005, § 38; and by Ord. 09-04, 8/10/2009, § 7]
1.
Parking areas shall conform to the following minimum dimensional

[Ord. 3/29/1990A, § 1316; as amended by Ord. 12-02,
6/19/2012, § 20; and by Ord. 12-04, 10/8/2012, § 20]
1.
All lots shall have direct access and frontage upon a public or private
street. The lot width and frontage shall not be less than the requirements
specified in Parts 3 through 16.
2.
For all nonresidential uses, access to roads shall be at least 200
feet from the intersection of any street lines.
[Ord. 3/29/1990A, § 1317; as amended by Ord. 93-2,
2/8/1993, §§ 45, 46; by Ord. 99-2, 6/28/1999, § 33;
by Ord. 06-03, 4/24/2006, § 4; by Ord. 06-02, 1/30/2006,

12-04, 10/8/2012, § 21; and by Ord. 17-03, 3/27/2017]
1.
The roads and streets of the Township are classified and shall be
provided for future streets as follows:
A.
Rural Arterial Highways. The primary function of rural arterial highways
is to connect major centers of activity and to move vehicles through
the community. The ultimate right-of-way for a rural arterial highway
is 120 feet. Rural arterial highways are SR 663, SR 73 and Swamp Pike
from the culvert over Minister Creek south to the Limerick Township
boundary.
B.
Developed Arterial Highways. The three primary functions of a developed
arterial highway are to connect major centers of activity and to move
higher volumes of traffic and to provide access to many properties.
The ultimate right-of-way of a developed arterial highway is 80 feet.
The developed arterial highway is Swamp Pike from the boundary with
Douglass Township south to the culvert over Minister Creek.
C.
Major Collector Highways. Major collector highways provide the link
between the arterials, minor collectors and local streets. The ultimate
right-of-way for a major collector highway is 80 feet. Major collector
highways include:
(1)
Hill Road.
(2)
Kulp Road from Hill Road to Deep Creek Road.
(3)
Deep Creek Road from Kulp Road to Upper Frederick Township municipal
line.
(4)
Henning Road from Deep Creek Road to Finn Road.
(5)
Township Line Road from Finn Road to Little Road.
(6)
Little Road.
(7)
Hoffmansville Road.
(8)
New Hanover Square Road.
(9)
Buchert Road.
(10)
Rhoads Road.
(11)
Romig Road from Swamp Pike to Buchert Road.
(12)
Rosenberry Road.
(13)
Sanatoga Road.
(14)
Leidy Road.
D.
Minor Collector Roads. Minor collector roads serve similar functions
as major collectors in that they provide connections among arterial
highways, major and minor collectors, local roads, residential neighborhoods
and nonresidential areas. Traffic volumes are lower than higher order
roads. Minor collector roads should be designed to provide traffic
flow with minor interruptions. Minor collectors are all other roads
shown on the Zoning Map as currently adopted by the Board of Supervisors,
Sanatoga Road, and minor collector roads within subdivisions and land
developments designed as such. However, Moore Road is a local road.
The ultimate right-of-way for a minor collector road is 60 feet.
E.
Local Roads (Streets). Local roads or streets are all other roads and streets not of a higher classification, including Moore Road, except marginal access streets and alleys as defined in Chapter 22, Subdivision and Land Development. The ultimate right-of-way for a local road is 52 feet.
F.
Marginal Access Streets. The easement for a marginal access street
is 47 feet. However, no right-of-way is required where a marginal
access street is part of a nonresidential development, is kept as
a private circulation improvement, and there is no dedication to the
Township or other governmental body.
G.
Alleys. The ultimate right-of-way for an alley is 36 feet.
H.
Any development proposal utilizing the TN Traditional Neighborhood Zoning District in this chapter may, at the discretion of the Board of Supervisors, subject to any necessary approvals, permits, waivers or otherwise from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation or Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, utilize in part or in full, § 22-809A, Street Standards for the TN Traditional Neighborhood District, of Chapter 22, Subdivision and Land Development. Therefore, any such development proposal granted approval from the Board of Supervisors to utilize § 22-809A, in part or in full, shall be exempt from the requirements of this section.
