The boundaries of districts shall be shown on the map attached to and made part of this chapter. Said map will be known as the "Zoning Map of Marshall Township," and all notations, references and data shown thereon are hereby incorporated by reference into this chapter and shall be as much a part hereof as if all were fully described herein.
B. 
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the district as indicated on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
1. 
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately coinciding with the center lines of street, highways, railroad lines or streams, such center lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
2. 
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately coincide with lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries; or where district boundaries are extensions of lot lines or connect the intersections of lot lines, such lines shall be said district boundaries.
3. 
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to center lines of streets or highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto.
4. 
Where a vacated street is bounded on either side by a different zoning district, the former center line of the vacated right-of-way shall be considered the zoning district boundary line.
5. 
The exact location of any disputed zoning district boundary line shall be determined by the Zoning Hearing Board.
The following general provisions apply to the uses outlined in this chapter.
A. 
All requirements of this chapter shall apply uniformly to each class or type of land or structure and particularly as follows:
1. 
Any lot hereafter created, laid out, or altered, as well as the open space reserved on it, must equal, or exceed the minimum lot areas prescribed by this chapter for the zoning district in which the lot is located.
2. 
No building, structure or land shall hereafter be used or occupied and no building or structure or part thereof shall hereafter be erected, constructed, reconstructed, moved, or structurally altered unless in conformity with all the requirements of this chapter applicable to the zoning district in which such use, building or structure is located.
3. 
No building or other structure shall hereafter be erected or altered so as to exceed height limitations, accommodate a greater number of families, occupy a greater percentage of lot area or have narrower or smaller rear yards, front yards, side yards or open spaces than are required by this chapter and its provisions for the particular zoning district in which such building or structure is located.
4. 
All yard or open space requirements of this chapter are exclusive, and a use or structure cannot share a part of a yard or open space required by this chapter with any other use or structure.
5. 
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.
6. 
Omitted land. This chapter intends to include the entire area of the Township, including all land, streets, alleys, railroads, and other row, be included in the zoning districts established by this chapter. Any area not shown on the Zoning Map as being included in such a zoning district shall be deemed to be, and it is hereby, classified in the CR district.
7. 
Frontage on public or private street required. Each single-family and attached single-family dwelling shall have a front lot line on a public or private street and improved to Township standards. This regulation also shall apply to single-family dwellings and attached single-family dwellings located in a development consisting of varied housing types unless otherwise specified elsewhere in this chapter.
8. 
Principal building. Unless otherwise specified, more than one principal use building, or structure may be erected on a single lot provided the requirements of this article are met for each structure as though it were on an individual lot. However, in any residential zoning district, no more than one principal use, building or structure may be erected or maintained on a single lot unless otherwise specifically permitted by this chapter.
A. 
Purpose.
1. 
It is the intent and purpose of this zoning district to mutually provide for development of housing opportunities and preserve identified sensitive environmental areas. Lands within the Conservation Residential (CR) district possess many common features, including: steep slopes, open spaces and forested areas, limited access to public water and sewer, natural resources and sensitive environmental areas.
2. 
The 2022 Comprehensive Plan affirmed the need to balance development rights with the preservation of green space and protection of natural resources. It is the desire of the Township, based upon its adopted Comprehensive Plan, that:
(a) 
Future development in this area is compatible with the existing natural landscape and lower-density development patterns located within the district;
(b) 
Conservation subdivisions are the preferred development choice within this district in order to mutually accommodate the development of property and the protection of sensitive environmental areas; and
(c) 
Development of single-family detached dwellings on larger lots is consistent with past development patterns of the district and compatible with conservation subdivisions, when developed according to the standards included within this section.
B. 
Permitted principal uses, conditional uses and accessory uses.
1. 
Principal uses permitted-by-right for the Conservation Residential district are listed in the table of uses located in § 208-216.

* Per § 208-402Q(4)(a), in the cluster option within the CR district, the density determination is based on the selected configuration (single-family, mixed cluster or housing variety).
1.
For lots that do not have public sewer and public water facilities.
2.
The minimum lot area is three acres. Within that lot, a "building envelope" of no more than one acre will include all land that is to be disturbed.
3.
The maximum impervious surface ratio is 18% of the one-acre building envelope.
4.
If adjoining a lot which contains a single-family dwelling outside the MDR zoning district, the required minimum setback is 50 feet.
A. 
Purpose. It is the intent and purpose of this district to provide for commercial and associated uses which generate or depend on large volumes of traffic. The district is developed to accommodate development on Route 19, north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Businesses located within this district primarily provide through traffic and regional oriented goods and services due to their proximity to principal arterial streets. Development within this district is governed by regulations that seek to reduce the negative effects of unsightly, dangerous intersections and to provide regulations for highway-associated uses through adequately sized parcels of land. A critical objective of this district is to create, through specific design standards contained within this chapter, commercial areas that contribute positively to the image, appearance and character of Marshall Township.
B.

A. 
Purpose. It is the intent and purpose of this district to provide for a well-designed park-like development for the permitted and conditional uses in this Planned Office, Research and Business Park (PORBP) district to promote and encourage high-quality employment opportunities for residents of Marshall Township and economic development for the region as a whole. Design standards and requirements for this district are intended to make it compatible with the surrounding residential areas. These uses should not generate large amounts of traffic, should comply with strict performance standards and should be substantially buffered from the adjacent areas. Uses in this district should not require outside storage. These regulations have been established so as to provide a healthful operating environment and for the protection of the accepted use from encroachment of uses adverse to their operation and at the same time to reduce to a minimum their impact on surrounding uses. This district should be restricted to large tracts that have close proximity to principal arterial streets, are fairly level and act as a buffer between adjacent residential areas and nearby downgrading influences such as heavily traveled highways.

Notes:
1.
(a) Additional bulk and area standards are found in § 208-215 for particular conditional uses. The specific bulk and area standards for conditional uses supersede the more general standards set forth in this table.
 
(b) Off-street parking areas shall be subject to the minimum yard setback requirements established for principal buildings/structures within each subdistrict.
 
(c) The maximum building setback may be exceeded when a development incorporates enhanced pedestrian spaces and amenities. Enhanced pedestrian spaces or amenities shall consist of more than one of the following: plazas, courtyards, arcades, outdoor seating areas, widened sidewalks, shelters, street furniture and public art.
2.
Parcel consolidation is encouraged. If public water and sewer are not available, the minimum lot size is one acre.
3.
A portion may be outside the Township.
4.
No one-story (single-story) building shall exceed the gross floor area (GFA) listed by the respective district.
5.
(a) A lot may support multiple principal buildings, with exception for single-family residential uses, provided the grouping of buildings are designed as a unified series (architecturally related) and incorporate a formal public plaza(s) and other site design features serving to unify elements on the site and create a pedestrian environment.
(b) Where a lot contains more than one principal building, the distance between each building shall be a minimum of 20 feet in width. A defined pedestrian corridor shall be created between each building providing access to the area in the rear of the building. The opening shall feature public amenities, including among others, an outdoor plaza with public seating, concrete pavers or brick courtyard, shade trees calculated at a rate of one tree per 40 feet of building length, understory trees calculated at rate of two per 40 feet of building length, and other landscape features to be incorporated into the design of the building. This plant material shall be used to create an inviting pedestrian space. This area shall also be lighted with pedestrian scale lighting.
6.
For attached single-family dwellings zero side lot line shall be permitted.
7.
The Board of Supervisors may through conditional use approval, permit the increase in impervious surface ratio beyond the maximum for two or multi-story buildings, if the proposed two or multi-story construction exhibits the form and character presented in this chapter.
8.
The intent is to encourage vertical (two-story) construction rather than horizontal one-story principal buildings.
9.
Density and bulk and area standards for residential uses shall be permitted consistent with those permitted within the MDR district.
Permitted uses. Table 3 summarizes the uses permitted in each zoning district. All uses are subject to regulations for specific and conditional uses within § 208-804.
P = Permitted use by right
C = Conditional use
