of the record before the Board of Supervisors, and any other person,
including civic or community organizations, permitted to appear by
the Board. The Board shall have the power to require that all persons

The burden of establishing compliance with those enumerated standards shall be upon the applicant by a fair preponderance of the credible evidence. The standards required by this subsection shall be deemed a part of the definitional aspect under which a conditional use may be granted, and the failure of the applicant to establish his compliance with all of the standards shall, in the discretion of the Board, be deemed either a basis for the establishing of conditions or limitations on an approval or the basis for a determination that the applicant has not met the requirements for which a conditional use may be granted.

E.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to relieve the applicant for a conditional use approval from obtaining other required approvals mandated by Chapter 162, Subdivision and Land Development, or other applicable ordinances.

In granting an application for conditional use, the
Board may attach such additional reasonable conditions and safeguards
as it deems necessary and appropriate to insure compliance with the
provisions of this chapter and to protect the health, safety and general
welfare of the community. The Board of Supervisors, in granting an
application for conditional use may approve modifications to applicable
area and bulk regulations when said modifications are deemed by the
Board of Supervisors to be in the public interest and in furtherance
of the goals set forth in this chapter of Upper Uwchlan Township.
In approving such modifications, the Board of Supervisors may attach
any conditions deemed necessary by the Board to ensure adequate screening,
landscaping, buffering of neighboring properties, or other means to
mitigate potential impacts resulting from modifications to area and
bulk regulations.
[Amended 5-1-2000 by Ord. No. 00-01[2]]
[2]
Editor's Note: Section 2 of this ordinance
also provided "Applications to the Board of Supervisors to waive certain
applicable area and bulk regulations shall be reviewed and commented
on by the Township's Planning Commission."
H.
Where a conditional use application involves land development and/or
subdivision approval, any conditional use approval granted by the
Board of Supervisors shall be governed in a manner consistent with
Section 917 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, 53 P.S.
§ 10917, which provides that the applicant shall be entitled
to rely upon the ordinances in effect at the time of conditional use
approval if the applicant submits land development and/or subdivision
plans within a period of six months from the date of such conditional
use approval. A conditional use approval that does not involve or
require land development and/or subdivision approval shall expire
if the applicant fails to obtain a building permit or a use and occupancy
permit, as the case may be, within six months from the date of the
Board of Supervisors' conditional use approval. The Board of Supervisors
may authorize an extension of time to obtain such permits, or to submit
land development/subdivision plans, at the time of the hearing, or
upon a future written request by the applicant which may be acted
upon by the Board by motion at a regularly scheduled public meeting.

would occur in the future without the proposed development.
C.
