[Ord. 9-94, 4/7/1994, § 601; amended by Ord. 2017-4,
6/1/2017; and by Ord. No. 2020-08, 7/9/2020]
1.
Overall Requirements.
A.
Number of Spaces. Each use that is newly developed, enlarged, significantly
changed in type or increased in number of establishments shall provide
and maintain off-street parking spaces in accordance with Table 6.1
and the regulations of this Part.
B.
Uses Not Listed. Uses not specifically listed in Table 6.1 shall
comply with the requirements for the most similar use listed in Table
6.1, unless the applicant proves to the satisfaction of the Zoning
Officer that an alternative standard should be used for that use.
D.
Calculation. Where the calculation of required parking spaces does
not result in a whole number, the calculation shall be rounded to
the closest whole number.
2.
Reduction of Parking Requirements as a Conditional Use.
A.
Purposes. To minimize impervious surfaces, while ensuring adequate
parking; to recognize unique circumstances may justify a reduction
in parking.
B.
The Board of Supervisors may permit a reduction, through the conditional use process of § 27-118, of the number of parking spaces required to be developed, if the applicant proves to the satisfaction of the Board that less parking spaces are needed.
(1)
Proof. To prove that less parking spaces are needed, the applicant
shall provide existing and projected employment, customer, resident
or other relevant data. Such data may include a study of parking at
similar developments during peak periods of use.
(2)
Shared Parking. Under this Section, an applicant may seek to
prove that parking permanently shared with another use or another
lot with shared internal access will reduce the total amount of parking
needed because the uses have different peak times of parking need
or overlapping customers.
(3)
Reservation of Future Parking Areas. If a reduction is permitted
under this Section, the Board may require as a condition of the conditional
use approval that the lot include the reservation, permanently or
for a specified number of years, of areas for use if needed in the
future for additional parking.
(a)
Such reservation shall be provided in a legal form acceptable
to the Township Solicitor. A legally binding deed restriction is recommended.
(b)
In such case, the applicant shall be required to submit site
plans to the Zoning Officer showing where and how the additional parking
could be accomplished. Such future parking areas shall be designed
to meet all Township requirements, including stormwater runoff. Such
future parking areas shall not be covered by buildings and shall be
attractively landscaped unless needed for parking.
(c)
Such additional parking shall be required to be provided within
one year by the owner of the lot at that time after the Zoning Officer
may determine in writing to such owner that such parking has become
needed to meet actual use. Such determination shall be based upon
the Zoning Officer's on-site review on least three different days.

[Ord. 9-94, 4/7/1994, § 602]
1.
General. Parking spaces and accessways shall be laid out to result
in safe and orderly use and to fully take into account all of the
following: vehicular access onto and off the site, vehicular movement
within the site, loading areas, pedestrian patterns and any drive-through
facilities. No parking area shall cause a safety hazard or impediment
to traffic off the lot.
2.
Existing Parking. Any parking spaces serving such preexisting structures
or uses at the time of adoption of this Chapter shall not in the future
be reduced in number below the number required by this Chapter.
3.
Change in Use or Expansion. A structure or use in existence at the
effective date of this Chapter that expands or significantly changes
in use that of an existing principal building shall be required to
provide all of the required parking for the entire size and type of
the resulting use, except as follows:
A.
If the use expands in total building floor area by an aggregate total
maximum of 5% in the applicable measurement (such as building floor
area) beyond what existed at the time of adoption of this Chapter,
then no additional parking is required.
B.
If the expansion of the use would increase the number of required
parking spaces by less than 20 spaces beyond what was required by
the previous size, then an applicant may choose to only add the spaces
required by the expansion.
C.
If the change in use would increase the number of required parking
spaces by less than 20 spaces beyond what was required by the previous
use, then an applicant may choose to only add the additional number
of spaces required by the new use compared to the previous use.
4.
Continuing Obligation of Parking and Loading Spaces. All required
numbers of parking spaces and off-street loading spaces shall be available
as long as the use or building which the spaces serve still exist,
and such spaces shall not be reduced in number below the minimum required
by this Chapter. No required parking area or off-street loading spaces
shall be used for any other use (such as storage or display of materials)
that interferes with the area's availability for parking.
5.
Location of Parking. Required off-street parking spaces shall be
on the same lot or abutting lot with the principal use served, unless
the applicant proves to the satisfaction of the Zoning Officer that
a permanent method of providing the spaces is available, using area
of a lot within 250 feet of the entrance of the principal use being
served.
[Ord. 9-94, 4/7/1994, § 603; as amended by Ord.
00-4, 10/19/2000, § 2 and by Ord. 2003-4, 6/18/2003, § 2]
1.
General Requirements.
A.
No parking area shall be designed to require or encourage parked
vehicles to back into a public street in order to leave a parking
space, except for a single-family or two-family dwelling with its
access onto a local street or parking court.
B.
Every required parking space shall be designed so that each motor
vehicle may proceed to and from the parking space provided for it
without requiring the moving of any other vehicle.
C.
Parking areas shall not be within any of the following: a required
buffer yard, a future or existing street right-of-way or a required
paved area setback.
D.
Defined Trafficways. All parking areas shall include clearly defined
and marked traffic patterns. In any lot with more than 30 off-street
parking spaces, raised curbs and landscaped areas shall be used to
direct traffic within the lot. Major vehicular routes shall be separated
as much as is reasonable from major pedestrian routes within the lot.
E.
Separation From Street. All areas for off-street parking, off-street loading and unloading and the storage or movement of motor vehicles shall be physically separated from the street by a raised curb, planting strip, wall or other suitable barrier against unchanneled motor vehicle entrance or exit, except for necessary and approved vehicle entrances and exits to the lot. All commercial and industrial parking areas approved after the adoption of this Chapter shall be separated from the street by a grass or landscaped strip of land. See Subsection 7 of § 27-603.
F.
Stacking and Obstructions.
(1)
Each lot shall provide adequate area upon the lot to prevent
backup of vehicles on a public street while awaiting entry to the
lot or while waiting for service at a drive-through facility.

Speed bumps, gates and guard sheds and other traffic control
devices shall not be located where they will cause traffic to back
up onto a public street.
(3)
Provide amenities within the warehouse structures, such as,
but not limited to, a lounge for the operators of tractor/trailer
motor vehicles, rest room facilities and the dispensing of food and
beverages. The size of the lounge shall have a proportionate relationship
with the number of loading docks provided for the warehouse operation
which shall equate to 10% of the number of loading docks but, in any
event, no less of an area needed to accommodate five seats. This lounge
area facility shall be in addition to similar facilities provided
for on-site employees.
(4)
There shall be at least one twelve-foot by eighty-foot parking space for each required seat in the lounge area, as provided in Subsection 1F(3) above in addition to any other required parking or loading areas. These parking spaces shall be in a separately defined area located in close proximity to the said lounge.
G.
Shopping Cart Corrals. If shopping carts are allowed to be taken
into parking areas, then appropriate enclosures shall be provided
at convenient locations within the parking areas to corral the carts.
2.
Size and Marking of Parking Spaces. Each parking space shall be a
rectangle with a minimum width of nine feet and a minimum length of
18 feet, except:
A.
The minimum length shall be 22 feet for parallel parking.
B.
If a lot includes more than 100 parking spaces, a maximum of 15 of
the required spaces may be a rectangle with a minimum width of nine
feet and a minimum length of 16 feet, provided that those spaces are
marked as "Compact Cars Only" and provided that those spaces are distributed
in different portions of the lot and do not include the most desirable
spaces in the lot. ("Compact cars" are intended to be those having
a length of 15 feet or less.)
C.
All spaces shall be marked to indicate their location, except those
of a single-family or two-family dwelling.
D.
If a parking area is permitted to not be paved, then a minimum width
of 10 feet per space shall be used.

Each aisle providing access to stalls for one-way traffic only shall
be at least the minimum aisle width specified as follows:
B.
Each aisle providing access to stalls for two-way traffic shall be
at least 24 feet in width, except a width of 20 feet may be allowed
for: areas of parking that are clearly primarily for employees or
parking areas with spaces that are parallel or involve an angle of
parking of 45° or less.
C.
Maximum length of parking aisle: 250 feet.

which immediately followed this subsection, was deleted by Ord. 2003-4,
6/18/2003, which also renumbered former Subsections F and G as E and
F, respectively.
E.
State Permit. Where there will be new or intensified access to a
State street or other work within the right-of-way of a State street,
a State highway occupancy permit shall be obtained, as applicable.
5.
Paving, Grading and Drainage.
A.
Parking and loading facilities and including driveways shall be graded
and adequately drained to prevent erosion or excessive water flow
across streets or adjoining properties.
B.
Except for landscaped areas, all portions of required parking, loading
facilities and driveways shall be surfaced with asphalt or concrete,
except that portions or all of parking areas may be left in grass
or gravel where the applicant proves to the full satisfaction of the
Zoning Officer that the nature and extent of the use of the parking
area would not cause any need for paving and dust will be adequately
controlled on any gravel areas.
7.
Paved Area Setbacks (including off-street parking setbacks).
A.
Intent. To ensure that parked or moving vehicles within a lot do
not obstruct sight distance or interfere with pedestrian traffic,
to aid in stormwater management along streets, and to prevent vehicles
from entering or exiting a lot other than at approved driveways.
B.
Uses Within the Paved Area Setback.
(1)
The paved area setback required by this Section, together with
any existing or established future street right-of-way area that is
not used as a cartway, street shoulder or on-street parking, shall
be maintained in natural ground cover (such as grass) and shall not
be used for any of the following:
C.
Width of Paved Area and Parking Setbacks.
(1)
In all residential districts, driveways and parking areas shall
be set back 20 feet from an existing street right-of-way and five
feet from all other lot lines, except where applicable buffer yard
provisions require a greater distance.
(2)
In the LI and LI(L) Districts, parking areas including five
or more spaces, off-street loading areas and internal driveways (other
than perpendicular crossings) shall be set back a minimum of 50 feet
from an existing street right-of-way and 20 feet from any other lot
line, unless a larger distance is required by applicable buffer yard
provisions.
(3)
In any district other than a residential district and other
than the LI or LI(L) Districts, parking areas including five or more
spaces, off-street loading areas and internal driveways shall be set
back a minimum of 25 feet from an existing street right-of-way and
from all abutting residential lot lines, unless a larger distance
is required by applicable buffer yard provisions.
(4)
Any entrance and exit driveways serving five or more parking
spaces or a loading dock shall be set back a minimum of 20 feet from
an abutting residential lot line, unless the Board of Supervisors
approves a closer location for traffic safety purposes.
(5)
Within the HC, NC, LI(L), GI and RT Districts, the Board of
Supervisors, at its discretion, as a conditional use, may approve
the waiving of paving setbacks along side or rear lot lines for the
shared use of interconnecting driveways and parking areas. Where such
is permitted, all other applicable Township ordinance requirements
shall be met and joint use and maintenance agreements to ensure proper
access and operation shall be required.
E.
Paving/Parking Setback from Buildings.
(1)
All paved areas shall be set back a minimum of five feet from
the exterior structural walls of any commercial or industrial building.
This setback shall not apply to the following: concrete sidewalks;
paved walkways to reach doors; driveways entering a garage, interior
parking, loading/unloading area, vehicle service bay or carport; or
drive-through pickup windows. This setback is intended to allow sufficient
area for firefighting, sidewalks and foundation landscaping, and to
provide safety against vehicles hitting walls.
8.
Paved Area Landscaping (Parking Lot Trees). The requirements of the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (Chapter 22) shall apply. Such landscaping requirements shall also apply to any expansion of more than one acre in paved area, regardless of whether such expansion would be part of a subdivision or land development.
10.
Handicapped Parking.
A.
Number of Spaces. Any lot including four or more off-street parking
spaces shall include a minimum of one handicapped space. The following
number of handicapped spaces shall be provided, unless a revised regulation

would result in the shortest reasonable accessible distance to a handicapped-accessible
building entrance. Curb cuts shall be provided as needed to provide
access from the handicapped spaces.
C.
Minimum Size. Each required handicapped parking space shall be 18
feet by 18 feet. In addition, each space shall be adjacent to a five-foot-wide
access aisle. Such access aisle may be shared by two handicapped spaces
by being placed between them. However, one out of every eight required
handicapped parking spaces shall have an adjacent access aisle of
eight feet width instead of five feet.
D.
Slope. Handicapped parking spaces shall be located in areas of less
than six-percent slope in any direction.
E.
Marking. All required handicapped spaces shall be well-marked by
clearly visible signs or pavement markings. Blue paint is recommended.
[Ord. 9-94, 4/7/1994, § 604]
1.
Purpose. To prevent the character of residential areas from being
harmed by nuisances, hazards and visual blight, and to prevent the
establishment of junkyards in residential districts.
2.
