It is the intent of the Borough to provide, through the planned
development concept, an increased amount of flexibility in the type,
location, density, and design of residential development and to encourage
innovative design and site planning in order to better meet current
housing demands, to relate development of the land to the specific
site, to permit economies in the provision of public services, and
to conserve and protect open space and steep slope areas within the
Borough. These developments are permitted only in R-1 Zoning Districts.
The housing type, minimum lot area, dwelling unit densities, yard,
height, accessory uses, and similar requirements shall be determined
by the provisions set out below, which shall prevail over conflicting
requirements of this chapter.
Any decision of Borough Council under this PRD provision granting
or denying tentative or final approval of a development plan shall
be subject to appeal to the court in the same manner and within the
same time limitation established for zoning appeals, as provided by
Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code.
