including minimum lot size and setback dimensions, for development
within specific zoning districts and for certain uses in all zoning
districts.
This chapter applies to all development located within the City of Harrisburg. Any request for relief from the development standards in this chapter will require a variance permit from the Zoning Hearing Board, as further described in Chapter
7-323, Special Exceptions and Variances.
