(1) 
A mix of permitted dwelling types shall be allowed on tracts of up to 20 acres in gross area.
(2) 
More than one dwelling type must be used on any tract of land that exceeds 20 acres in gross area.
(3) 
The minimum percentage of any one dwelling type in a mixed dwelling type development shall be 20% of the total dwelling units, calculated in compliance with § 500-1403B herein.
The total maximum number of dwelling units permitted and the maximum numbers of dwelling units of each type shall be determined by using the formulas contained in this section. Any question regarding the maximum permitted numbers of dwelling units shall be resolved by these calculations.
A. 
Calculation of total maximum number of dwelling units permitted. The applicant shall decide the percentages of each dwelling type to be included in the proposed development and use the following formula to calculate the total maximum number of dwelling units permitted:
[Amended 6-8-2004 by Ord. No. 2004-07]
Total Dwelling Units = Site's developable acreage divided by (a + b + c + d + e + f),
where:
a
=
proposed % of SFD divided by 4 (dwelling units per developable acre)
b
=
proposed % of LLH divided by 4 (dwelling units per developable acre)
c
=
proposed % of VH divided by 4 (dwelling units per developable acre)
d
=
proposed % of Twin divided by 4 (dwelling units per developable acre)
e
=
proposed % of SFA divided by 4 (dwelling units per developable acre)
f
=
proposed % of MP divided by 4 (dwelling units per developable acre)
(Percentages used in these calculations shall be in decimal form.)
B. 
Calculation of maximum numbers of dwelling units of each type. The applicant shall calculate the maximum numbers of dwelling units for each proposed dwelling type by using the following formula:
Maximum Number of Units of One Dwelling Type = Total dwelling units times the proposed percentage for that dwelling type (in decimal form)
C. 
Potential inability to develop the maximum numbers of dwelling units. The applicant's choices of dwelling types and mixing percentages, physical constraints of the development site, or other factors may limit the applicant's ability to develop the maximum numbers of dwelling types permitted by the calculations herein. If this occurs, the applicant's plans shall still be required to comply with all other applicable requirements of the R-3 District, including the minimum 50% open space.

The maximum height of a residence is 35 feet, excluding mechanical penthouses the height of which are determined with reference to the International Building Code. Accessory buildings may be 15 feet in height. Any nonresidential building height in excess of 35 feet requires conditional use approval by the Board of Supervisors. In considering an application for conditional use related to building height, the Board of Supervisors shall consider the following factors:
(a) 
The nature of the building itself and the extent to which it is consistent or inconsistent with the landscape and structures in the vicinity of it;
(b) 
The height of other buildings in the area;

The proximity of residences and the extent to which the height of the building diminishes the quality of life for those residing in proximity to the building, also considering topography and the extent to which the building is visible from nearby residences;
(d) 
Whether the building will include a mechanical penthouse that is excluded from the definition of building height;
(e) 
The extent to which the requirements, standards or common practices associated with a particular proposed use require a building that is more than 35 feet tall;
(f) 
Whether the increased building height will increase the impact of the use of the building with respect to noise, traffic volume, light spillover, or similar community impacts.
F. 
Maximum building dimension. The maximum dimension for any residential building shall be 160 feet, measured along the building's facades.
G.

A. 
No one building may contain more than six single-family attached dwelling units, and buildings shall not be attached to other buildings.
B. 
Each two dwelling units shall have their front and rear facades offset a minimum of four feet from the adjacent units to preclude a monolithic appearance. A design alternative that achieves a similar effect may be approved by the Board of Supervisors. This also applies to units built back to back.
C. 
Emergency access shall be provided by access strips clear of trees, shrubs, fences, walls and steep grades between ends of buildings and behind buildings. These shall be a minimum 15 feet wide and be connected to adjacent roads, driveways or parking areas. They may be independent of the lot areas or be located on easements on the lots.
All vehicular access proposed for subdivision and/or land development under R-3 District standards shall comply with the following standards and with the requirements of Article IV of Chapter 425, Subdivision and Land Development, regarding vehicular access, streets and driveways:
A. 
Proposals with less than 75 lots and/or dwelling units may be accessed by one full access driveway or road plus an emergency accessway in compliance with Section 15, Emergency Accessways, of Appendix A of Chapter 425, Subdivision and Land Development.
B. 
Proposals with 75 or more lots and/or dwelling units shall be accessed by a minimum of two full-access driveways or roads. However, there shall be no more than a total of two access driveways or roads from any one public road on which the development abuts.
C. 
Common-access driveways or roads are encouraged for adjacent developments to minimize the total number of access roads onto any public road.
D. 
All access driveways or roads shall be located a minimum of 100 feet from any tract boundary line adjacent to an existing single-family detached residential use or district, except where that use or district is on the opposite side of the road from which access is proposed to be taken.
E. 
No vehicular access shall be provided to individual lots in an R-3 development from streets classified as collector or higher classification, except where an existing dwelling retains an existing driveway, when approved by the Board of Supervisors.
The minimum number of parking spaces shall comply with the requirements of Article IX, Parking, of this chapter. Parking areas shall comply with the following minimum setback requirements:
A. 
From tract boundaries: 50 feet.
B. 
From ultimate rights-of-way of external roads: 50 feet.
C. 
From rights-of-way or equivalent rights-of-way of streets internal to the development: 25 feet.
A. 
Overall plan required. The applicant shall submit one overall subdivision and/or land development plan, although the plan may be developed in separate phases.
B.

The applicant shall provide sufficient lighting for the convenience and safety of residents and visitors along internal roads, driveways, parking areas, sidewalks, and pathways, subject to approval by the Board of Supervisors, with the advice of the Township Engineer. All lighting shall comply with the standards of § 500-823 of this chapter.
C. 
Sewer and water. Development at R-3 standards shall be served by central water supply and central sewage disposal facilities.

[Added 10-11-2005 by Ord. No. 2005-11]
In any conflict between the TND sections of this chapter and any other section of this chapter, the TND sections shall govern. In order to further expand the objectives of § 500-1400 by allowing mixed-use development on appropriately sized tracts in the R-3 Residential District, it is the intent of this article to provide regulations for a traditional neighborhood development in conformance with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan, Open Space and Environmental Resource Plan, and the following objectives:
A. 
Develop a mixed-use community on a tract of land large enough to function as a traditional small town.
B. 
Allow an alternate arrangement of dwellings to create a more compact, walkable community, lessening the need for automobile usage. More compact design will also allow building to occur on the most suitable land, preserving more environmentally sensitive land in its natural state.
C. 
Provide for a mix of housing types to accommodate various age and income levels within the community.
D. 
Provide some commercial uses within walking distance to accommodate the everyday needs of the residents.
E. 
Allow on-street parking and smaller cartway width on residential streets in the development to slow traffic and encourage pedestrian movement throughout the TND. Allow private alleys to serve as access to garages to reduce conflicts between automobiles and pedestrians on the street.
F. 
Provide more areas for social interaction by placing housing closer to the street, adding porches to homes, and creating inviting open space areas for recreation use.
