Whenever there is a difference between the standards specified
herein and those indicated in other applicable regulations, the more
stringent requirement shall apply.
The provisions of this chapter are severable. Should any section,
sentence, clause, part or provision hereof be held illegal, invalid,
or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision
shall not effect or impair the remaining sections, sentences, clauses,
parts or provisions of this chapter. It is hereby declared to be the
intent of the Board of Supervisors that this chapter would have been
enacted if such illegal, invalid, or unconstitutional sections, sentence,
clause, part, or provision had not been included herein.
A.
The Lancaster Township Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance,
Ordinance Number 37, is hereby amended; provided, however, that the
amendment shall in no manner be construed as a waiver, release or
relinquishment of the right to initiate, pursue, or prosecute, as
the case may be, any proceeding at law or in equity, including criminal
proceedings, pertaining to any act done which would have been constituted
a violation of Ordinance Number 37, and all provisions of Ordinance
Number 37 shall remain in full force and effect, and are not repealed
hereby, as they pertain to such acts.
B.
All other ordinances or regulations, or parts of such ordinances
or regulations, in conflict with this chapter or inconsistent with
its provisions, are hereby repealed to the extent necessary to give
this chapter full force and effect.
C.
The provisions of this chapter, so far as they are common to those
regulations in force immediately prior to the enactment of this chapter,
are intended as a continuation of such prior regulations and not as
new enactments.
D.
The adoption of this chapter does not make legitimate development
activity in the Township under provisions of the prior regulations
illegal, nor does it annul any litigation currently being pursued
or that may be pursued in the future against such illegal activity.
