Purposes of each district. In addition to serving the overall purposes
of this chapter, the specific purposes of each zoning district are
summarized below:
(1)
Conservation District: to preserve sensitive environmental features,
such as wetlands, flood-prone lands and very steeply sloped areas;
to assist in protecting the water quality and habitats along creeks;
to provide areas for recreation and open space.
(2)
LDR Low Density Residential District: to provide for low-density
residential neighborhoods that are primarily composed of single-family
detached dwellings; to protect these areas from incompatible uses;
to encourage owner occupancy and neighborhood stability; to provide
a transition between higher-density neighborhoods and agricultural
areas.
(3)
MDR Medium Density Residential District: to provide for a range of
densities of residential neighborhoods with a mix of housing types;
to protect these areas from incompatible uses; to encourage "one home,
one lot" development in order to promote home ownership and neighborhood
stability; to make sure that "infill" development is consistent with
neighboring development; to provide opportunities for well-planned
retirement communities.
(4)
MHDR Medium High Density Residential District: to provide for medium-high-density
residential neighborhoods with a mix of housing types meeting the
density goals of the Donegal Region Comprehensive Plan; to protect
these areas from incompatible uses.
(5)
CBD Commercial Business District: to promote compact, pedestrian-oriented
activities in the downtown; to promote an appropriate mix of retail,
service, office, public, institutional and residential uses; to avoid
auto-oriented uses that are most likely to conflict with a pedestrian
orientation and which are most likely to cause demolition of historic
buildings; to primarily provide for smaller-scale uses and mixed uses
that utilize existing historic buildings, as opposed to uses that
would involve substantial demolition; to promote high-density transit-oriented
development at locations in walkable distance from the train station.
(6)
NC Neighborhood Commercial District: to provide for predominantly
commercial and mixed uses that would be highly compatible with homes;
to promote the adaptive reuse of historic buildings along portions
of Main Street that are not within the Commercial Business District;
to encourage commercial uses accessible by multiple modes of transportation;
to promote uses that will provide a pedestrian orientation.
(7)
GC General Commercial District: to provide for larger-scale employment
uses and a mix of commercial uses serving a regional level; to provide
for commercial uses of all sizes; to provide for uses that are more
auto-related than uses in the CBD and NC Districts.
(8)
LI Light Industrial District: to provide for employment uses such
as light industrial, office and related commercial development in
a manner that is compatible with any nearby homes; to carefully control
the types of operations to avoid nuisances (such as excessive noise
and vibrations) and hazards; to encourage the preservation of key
historic buildings; to provide employment areas in walkable proximity
to residential areas and the train station; to limit uses with intensive
customer or truck traffic where existing streets are unable to accommodate
such traffic demands.
(9)
CI Campus Industrial District: to provide for light industrial, office
and related commercial development in an attractive well-planned campus-like
setting; to carefully control the types of industrial operations to
avoid nuisances (such as excessive noise) and hazards; to avoid residential
uses that would conflict with existing industries; to encourage coordinated
development, particularly in regard to traffic access.
(10)
GI General Industrial District: to meet requirements of state
law to provide opportunities for a wide range of business uses; to
carefully control industrial uses to avoid significant nuisances and
hazards, particularly to neighboring residences.
A.
The regulations set by this chapter shall apply uniformly to each
class or kind of structure or land, except as provided for in this
chapter.
B.
No structure shall hereafter be erected, used, constructed, reconstructed,
structurally altered or occupied, and no land shall hereafter be used,
developed or occupied, unless it is in conformity with the regulations
herein specified for the use and district in which it is located.
C.
No yard or lot existing at the time of passage of this chapter shall
be reduced in dimension or area below the minimum requirements set
forth herein. Yards or lots created after the effective date of this
chapter shall meet at least the minimum requirements established by
this chapter.
[Amended 6-7-2021 by Ord. No. 4-21]
A.
A map entitled "Mount Joy Borough Zoning Map" accompanies this chapter
and is declared a part of this chapter.[1] The Official Zoning Map, which should bear the adoption
date of this chapter and the words "Official Zoning Map," shall be
retained in the Borough office.
[1]
Editor's Note: Said map is included as an attachment to this chapter.
B.
Map changes. Changes to the boundaries and districts of the Official
Zoning Map shall only be made in conformity with the amendment procedures
specified in the MPC. All changes should be noted by date with a brief
description of the nature of the change, either on the map or within
an appendix to this chapter.
C.
Replacement map. If the Official Zoning Map becomes damaged, destroyed,
lost or difficult to interpret because of changes and additions, or
needs to have drafting errors or omissions corrected, Borough Council
may, by resolution, adopt a new copy of the Official Zoning Map, which
shall supersede the prior Official Zoning Map. Unless the prior Official
Zoning Map has been lost or has been totally destroyed, the prior
map or any remaining parts shall be preserved, together with all available
records pertaining to its previous adoption or amendment.
The following rules shall apply where uncertainty exists as
to boundaries of any district as shown on the Zoning Map:
A.
District boundary lines are intended to follow or be parallel to
the center line of street rights-of-way, streams and railroads, and
lot lines as they existed on a recorded deed or plan of record in
the County Recorder of Deeds office at the time of the adoption of
this chapter, unless such district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions
as shown on the Official Zoning Map.
B.
Where a district boundary is not fixed by dimensions and where it
approximately follows lot lines, such boundary shall be construed
to follow such lot lines unless specifically shown otherwise.
C.
The location of a district boundary on unsubdivided land or where
a district boundary divides a lot shall be determined by the use of
the scale appearing on the Zoning Map unless indicated otherwise by
dimensions.
D.
Where a municipal boundary divides a lot, the minimum lot area shall
be regulated by the municipality in which the principal use(s) are
located, unless otherwise provided by applicable case law. The land
area within each municipality shall be regulated by the use regulations
and other applicable regulations of each municipality.
A.
Intent: to continue the objective of compatible land uses across
municipal boundaries.
B.
This chapter requires additional setbacks and the provision of buffer
yards when certain uses would abut an existing dwelling or a residential
zoning district.
C.
These same additional setback and buffer yard provisions shall be
provided by uses proposed within Mount Joy Borough, regardless of
whether such abutting existing dwelling or principally residential
zoning district is located in an abutting municipality and/or in the
Borough.
A.
For the purposes of this section, the following abbreviations shall
have the following meanings:
B.
Unless otherwise provided by law or specifically stated in this chapter, including § 270-5B, any land or structure shall only be used or occupied for a use specifically listed in this chapter as permitted in the zoning district where the land or structure is located. Such uses shall only be permitted if the use complies with all other requirements of this chapter.
(2)
See § 270-5B, which generally provides a process for approval of a use that is not listed based upon similarity to permitted uses and other criteria. Except as provided in such § 270-5B, any other principal use that is not specifically listed as P, SE, or CU in the applicable district in this table is prohibited in that district.
C.
Permitted accessory uses in all districts. An accessory use of a dwelling is only permitted if such use is customarily incidental to the residential use and is specifically permitted by this chapter. The following are permitted by right as accessory uses to a lawful principal use in all districts, within the requirements of § 270-63 and all other requirements of this chapter:
(1)
Standard antennas, including antennas used by contractors to communicate
with their own vehicles.
(2)
Fence* or wall.*
(3)
Garage, household.
(4)
Garage sale.*
(5)
Keeping of pets or keeping of bees.*
(6)
Parking or loading, off-street, only to serve a use that is permitted
in that district.
(7)
Recreational facilities, limited to use by residents of a development
or students at a primary or secondary school or center for the care
and treatment of youth and their occasional invited guests.
(10)
Swimming pool, household.*
(11)
Such other accessory use or accessory structure that the applicant
proves, to the satisfaction of the Zoning Officer, is clearly customary
and incidental to a permitted by right, special exception or conditional
principal use.
D.
Permitted accessory uses to business and institutional uses. The
following are permitted by right accessory uses only to a permitted
by right, special exception or conditional use commercial, industrial
or institutional use, provided that all requirements of this chapter
are met:
A.
The area, yard and building requirements in the Table of Lot and Setback Requirements at the end of this chapter shall apply for the specified zoning district, unless a more restrictive requirement for a specific use is required by § 270-62 or § 270-63 or another section of this chapter. All measurements shall be in feet unless otherwise stated. See definitions of terms (such as "lot width") in § 270-32.
B.
Height. The following height provisions shall apply unless specifically
stated otherwise for a specific use:
(1)
Within the C, LDR, MDR, MHDR, and NC Districts:
(a)
The maximum height for structures that are accessory to dwellings
shall have a maximum height of 1.5 stories (with the 1/2 story limited
to nonhabitable storage areas) or 25 feet, whichever is more restrictive;
and
(b)
The maximum height for other structures shall be 3 1/2
stories or 40 feet, whichever is more restrictive.
(3)
Within all other districts, the maximum height for all buildings
shall be six stories or 90 feet, whichever is more restrictive, provided
that the maximum height shall be 40 feet within 40 feet of an existing
primarily residential use within a residential district.
The following requirements shall apply within the CI Campus
Industrial District:
A.
Dimensional requirements.
(1)
Minimum lot area: two acres, except that a minimum lot area of one acre shall be permitted if the requirements of Subsection F below are met.
(2)
Setbacks. The following minimum setbacks shall apply:
(3)
Lot coverage. A maximum of 50% of the lot area of each lot shall
be covered by buildings. A maximum total of 65% of the lot area of
each lot shall be covered by buildings and other impervious surfaces.
(a)
The maximum impervious coverage within a subdivision or land
development shall be increased to 80% if the applicant proves, to
the satisfaction of the Zoning Officer, based upon the review of the
Borough Engineer, that a subdivision or land development will include
substantial stormwater management improvements that will substantially
reduce existing stormwater management problems on properties that
are not owned or controlled by the applicant. The applicant shall
have the burden to prove that:
(b)
If a lot contains a shared detention basin serving an entire
subdivision, the lot area of the lot with the basin may be considered
together with adjacent lots to determine the maximum impervious coverage.
In such case, the maximum impervious coverage regulation (as stated
above) shall be a maximum average of the adjacent lots, instead of
a maximum for each lot.
[1]
In such case, deed restrictions or other legal mechanisms acceptable
to the Borough shall be used to regulate the maximum impervious coverage
of each lot so that the average maximum impervious coverage is met.
[2]
For example, by deed restrictions, two lots of two acres each
might each have a maximum impervious coverage of 75%, while a one-acre
lot with a shared detention basin might have a maximum impervious
coverage of 25%, resulting in an average impervious coverage of 65%.
(4)
Height. A maximum height of 40 feet or 3.5 stories, whichever is
more restrictive, shall apply. However, for portions of a building
that are a minimum of 100 feet from an existing or approved residential
lot, as a special exception, a maximum height of 65 feet or five stories,
whichever is more restrictive, may be approved. The special exception
decision shall be based upon fire-protection issues. Customary extensions
of a building that are not occupied by persons may exceed this height
limit, such as elevator equipment, skylights, water towers, chimneys,
smokestacks and similar features.
(5)
Lot width. The minimum lot width measured at the minimum building
setback line shall be 100 feet, except such minimum lot width shall
be increased to 300 feet if a lot approved after the effective date
of this chapter will involve one or more vehicle driveways involving
left-hand turns from the lot onto Main Street/State Route 230. If
vehicle access from a lot to Main Street/State Route 230 is shared
with an adjacent lot, or first enters onto another street, then the
one-hundred-foot minimum lot width shall apply instead of the three-hundred-foot
minimum.
B.
Landscaping and screening.
(2)
Planting strips shall be provided adjacent to each public street.
The planting strip shall have a minimum width of 40 feet adjacent
to the curbline of an arterial street and 15 feet adjacent to the
curbline of any other street. If curbing is not provided, then such
width shall be measured from the street right-of-way line. A sidewalk
of approved width and approximately perpendicular driveways of approved
width may be placed within this planting strip. The planting strip
shall be maintained in trees, shrubs and an attractive vegetative
ground cover.
(3)
As part of each new principal building permit application, a landscaping plan shall be submitted to the Borough. See §§ 270-113 and 270-114. A minimum of 15% of each lot shall be landscaped, which shall include grass or other vegetative ground cover and an appropriate distribution of trees and shrubs.
C.
Utilities. Each principal use shall be served by public water and
public sewage service. For a lot approved after the date of adoption
of this section, all new electric and telephone service lines within
the development shall be placed underground.
D.
Traffic.
(1)
The applicant for a subdivision involving the creation of three or
more lots in the CI District shall submit a traffic study prepared
by a qualified professional.
(a)
The study shall define an impact area, including intersections
that will be significantly affected by the proposed development. Such
impact area shall generally include areas within 1/2 mile of an entrance
to the development.
(b)
The study shall estimate the amount of trips expected to be
generated by the most likely eventual build-out of the development,
based upon the latest estimates published by the Institute of Transportation
Engineering.
(c)
Counts shall be conducted of twenty-four-hour and peak-hour
traffic volumes on streets and intersections that will serve and/or
be significantly affected by the development.
(d)
The expected traffic from the new development shall be assigned
to routes providing access towards the development.
(e)
The study shall consider overall increases in traffic, including
other proposed or approved developments in the vicinity.
(f)
The study shall forecast the twenty-four-hour and peak-hour
total traffic volumes on affected roads and intersections, including
access points into the development, and shall estimate the future
level of service of intersections. Levels of service shall be estimated
based upon standards of the Transportation Research Board.
(g)
The study shall describe the number of reportable and known
nonreportable accidents in the vicinity.
(h)
The applicant shall describe the type of transportation improvements
the applicant will commit to construct and/or fund. Such improvements
may be considered in the traffic analysis.
(i)
The study shall describe the improvements that are necessary
to provide an acceptable level of safety and efficiency on the affected
streets and intersections, such as intersection widening and/or traffic
control devices. The costs of such improvements shall be estimated.
The goal is to maintain a level of service of "C" or better. The study
shall estimate the percentage of the traffic along such street or
intersection that is generated by the proposed development.
E.
Nuisances and hazards. An applicant for a new industrial use shall
provide a written description of methods that will be used to control
significant nuisances and hazards, including noise, dust, toxic hazards,
hazardous spill and leak hazards, explosion hazards, flammable hazards,
radiation hazards and similar nuisances and hazards.
F.
One-acre lot incentives. The minimum lot area shall be reduced from
two acres to one acre if the applicant proves to the Zoning Officer,
based upon the advice of the Planning Commission, that all of the
following additional standards will be met:
(1)
There is a coordinated system of vehicle access using an interior
road and/or driveways shared among lots, which holds the number of
driveways involving left-hand turns onto Main Street/Route 230 to
the absolute minimum.
(2)
There is a coordinated system of stormwater management within a subdivision,
which utilizes a single detention basin to serve all existing and
future lots within the subdivision and which involves an appropriate
mechanism to fund the long-term maintenance of the stormwater facilities.
G.
Pedestrian access and amenities.
(1)
See the provisions of Chapter 240, Subdivision and Land Development, which require sidewalks along streets. Note: An applicant may apply for a modification under such chapter to allow an asphalt bicycle/walking trail in place of concrete sidewalks.
(2)
It is the intent of this section that sidewalks or other suitable
pedestrian access be provided to connect new lots with the downtown
and residential areas to minimize reliance upon motor vehicles.
(3)
Consideration should be given to providing pedestrian routes (such as crushed stone paths in areas that are not along Main Street) and outdoor lunch areas with picnic tables and trees within a subdivision for the use of employees of businesses within the subdivision. However, this Subsection G(3) is not a chapter requirement. Such internal routes and outdoor areas do not necessarily need to be dedicated.
H.
If a subdivision is proposed, then a unified sketch master plan shall
be submitted by the applicant. Such master plan shall demonstrate
that there will be full coordination of the following, considering
future full build-out of all land presently controlled by the applicant:
I.
Principal anaerobic digester.

Physical analysis of all roadways identified above, including
cartway width, shoulder width, pavement condition, horizontal and
vertical curves, anticipated stormwater drainage characteristics,
and sight distances;
[5]
The traffic analysis shall be reviewed by the Borough Engineer.
(c)
The applicant shall submit a transportation study, detailing
the effect of the anaerobic digester system on local roadways, including
the effect of vehicle weight, congestion, and noise.
(d)
All uses shall provide sufficiently long stacking lanes into
the facility, so that vehicles waiting to be loaded/unloaded will
not back up onto public roads.
(2)
Applicability. The applicant shall provide a detailed description
of the proposed use in each of the following topics and a complete
land development plan application shall be submitted to the Borough
once the conditional use application has been approved.

six months from the date the applicant ceases use of the facility
or the facility becomes obsolete. At the time of issuance of the permit
for the construction of the anaerobic digester facility, the owner
shall provide financial security in form and amount acceptable to
the Borough to secure the expense of dismantling and removing said
structure.
A.
Purposes. In addition to serving the community development objectives
of this chapter, the WP Wellhead Protection Area District is intended
to:
B.
Applicability. This WP District is an overlay district that overlaps
and supplements underlying zoning districts. The WP District shall
be as shown on the Wellhead Protection Area Map that is included in
this chapter. Where the regulations of this WP District differ on
a particular matter from the regulations of any other section of this
