rooms, exercise facilities, restaurants, convenience stores, and similar
commercial facilities intended to serve the needs of residents and
such facility in question as well as the general community.

area. The following uses are permitted by right:
(1) Conservation of open land in its natural or managed state (for example
woodland, fallow field, or meadow).
(2) Equestrian uses, horse shows with or without seating for spectators,
agricultural and horticultural uses, including raising crops or livestock,
wholesale nurseries, associated buildings, excluding residences, needed
to support an active, viable agricultural or horticultural operation.
Specifically excluded are commercial livestock operations involving

odors.
(3) Pastureland for horses and other grazing livestock used solely for
private or commercial recreational purposes. Equestrian facilities,
including commercial facilities, shall be permitted but may not consume
more than half of the minimum required greenway land. Indoor and/or
outdoor riding arenas are permitted, with or without seating areas
and facilities for spectators. Rodeo facilities are specifically excluded.
(4) Active noncommercial recreation areas such as playing fields, playgrounds,
courts, and bikeways, provided such areas do not consume more than

uses specifically excluding motorized off-road vehicles, rifle ranges,
and other uses similar in character and potential impact as determined
by the governing body.
(9) Silviculture, in keeping with established standards for selective
harvesting and sustained yield forestry.
Bulk standards insofar as they relate to setback distances for
the entire tract constituting the Historic Resort Resource Overlay
District shall be calculated from exterior tract lines and not from
interior phase or property lines where an Historic Resort Resource
Overlay District consists of an assemblage of lots or parcels. Under
all circumstances where an Historic Resort Resource Overlay is subdivided
into separate lots, the bulk standards shall be calculated from the
exterior lot line of the separate individual lot. The following density,
greenway land, and bulk dimensional standards shall apply.
A. Density factor. One dwelling unit per 49,000 square feet (1.125 acres) in the R District, and one dwelling unit per 65,340 square feet (1.5 acres) in the MU-V, C, LI, and I Districts, as determined through the adjusted tract area method or yield plan for Option 2 Subdivisions described in §
525-34C. Each residential unit, apartment, and each separately rented room or suite in a hotel or resort shall be the equivalent of one dwelling unit for purposes of calculating density.
B. Minimum required greenway land. The minimum required greenway area shall be equivalent to 60% of the adjusted tract area plus the constrained land area calculated in accordance with §
525-34C. Greenway land shall not be used for residential lots.
C. Central wastewater collection systems. Community or public sewer
and water systems, including land discharge and/or surface water discharge
or sewage treatment systems, are required. All central wastewater
collection and disposal systems shall be designed and constructed
in accordance with the regulations of the Pennsylvania Department
of Environmental Protection and shall be subject to the review and
recommendation of the Township Engineer and Sewage Enforcement Officer.
