In addition to the community development objectives set forth in Part 1 of this chapter and in conformance with the MPC, the purposes of this overlay district, among others, are as follows:
A.
To conserve and protect environmentally sensitive areas and open
land within West Manheim Township, including those areas containing
unique and sensitive natural features such as woodlands, steep slopes,
streams, floodplains and wetlands, by setting them aside from development.
B.
To provide greater design flexibility and efficiency in the siting
of services and infrastructure, including the opportunity to reduce
length of roads, utility runs, and the amount of paving required for
residential development.
C.
To reduce erosion and sedimentation by the retention of existing
vegetation, and the minimization of development on steep slopes.
D.
To implement adopted West Manheim Township policies to conserve a
variety of irreplaceable and environmentally sensitive resource lands
as set forth in the West Manheim Township Comprehensive Plan, including
provisions for reasonable incentives to create an open space and greenway
system for the benefit of present and future residents.
E.
To implement adopted land use, transportation, and community policies,
as identified in the West Manheim Township Comprehensive Plan.
F.
To protect areas of West Manheim Township with productive agricultural
soils for continued or future agricultural use, by conserving blocks
of land large enough to allow for efficient farm operations.
G.
To create neighborhoods with direct visual access to open land, with
amenities in the form of neighborhood open space, and with a strong
neighborhood identity.
H.
To provide for the conservation and maintenance of open land within
West Manheim Township to achieve the above-mentioned goals and for
active or passive recreational use by residents.
I.
To provide multiple options for landowners in order to minimize impacts
on environmental resources (sensitive lands such as wetlands, floodplain,
and steep slopes) and disturbance of natural or cultural features
(such as mature woodlands, hedgerows and tree lines, critical wildlife
habitats, historic buildings, and fieldstone walls).
J.
To provide standards reflecting the varying circumstances and interests
of individual landowners, and the individual characteristics of their
properties; and
K.
To conserve scenic views and elements of West Manheim Township's
rural character, and to minimize perceived density, by minimizing
views of new development from existing roads.
A.
The Conservation Subdivision Overlay District shall apply to all
tracts of land consisting of 15 acres or more (gross) upon which new
residential subdivisions are created after the effective date of this
chapter in the Residential (R) Zoning District.
[Amended 8-16-2016 by Ord. No. 5-2016; 6-1-2023 by Ord. No. 2-2023]
B.
For all tracts of land consisting of less than 15 acres (gross) upon
which new residential subdivisions are created after the effective
date of this chapter, the conservation subdivision design shall be
optional.
C.
All regulations of the Natural Features Overlay District, the Floodplain
Protection Overlay District, and Historic Preservation Overlay District
shall apply to lands developed under the Conservation Subdivision
Overlay District regulations.
For all subdivisions subject to § 270-68 above, preliminary plans shall include documentation of a four-step conservation subdivision design process in determining the layout of proposed open space and greenway lands, house sites, infrastructure and lot lines, as described below.
The Conservation Subdivision Overlay shall comply with the uses
regulated in the underlying zoning district.
The Conservation Subdivision Overlay District shall implement
a neutral density and basic conservation option. This option provides
for residential uses at the density permitted in the underlying zoning
district and reductions in lot area and dimensional standards, in
exchange for a given percentage of the tract to remain in open space.
A.
Density requirements.
(1)
Density factor. The density factor is equal to the minimum lot area
requirement set forth in the underlying zoning district. The density
factors are as follows:

Minimum required open space and greenway land. The subdivision must include at least 25% of the adjusted tract area plus all of the constrained land calculated in § 270-71B(1), herein below, as open space and greenway land. Open space and greenway land shall not be used for residential lots, except as provided in this Part 6.
B.
Density determination. Applicants shall have the choice of two methods
of determining the maximum permitted residential building density
on their properties. They are as follows:
(1)
Adjusted tract area approach. Determination of the maximum number
of permitted dwelling units on any given property shall be based upon
the adjusted tract area of the site. The adjusted tract acreage shall
be determined by multiplying the acreage classified as being in the
categories of natural resource elements (described below) by the numerical
protection factor for that category of natural resource land, summing
all factored constrained land areas, and then deducting the total
from the gross tract area.
(a)
Constrained lands consist of natural resources listed below.
The area of the natural resource is multiplied by a protection factor
to arrive at the constrained land. The constrained natural resource
elements and protection factors are as follows:

|
(b)
If a portion of the tract is underlain by more than one natural
feature subject to a protection factor, that acreage shall be subject
to the most restrictive protection factor.
(c)
Since acreage that is contained within the public or private
rights-of-way, access easements or access strips is excluded from
developable lot area, any portion of these items that also contains
a natural resource element subject to a deduction from the total tract
acreage should not be included when calculating the adjusted tract
area.
(d)
Permitted dwelling units. The maximum number of permitted dwelling
units equals the adjusted tract area divided by the density factor.
(2)
Yield plan approach. Determination of density, or maximum number
of permitted dwelling units, shall be based upon the underlying zoning
district regulations, and any applicable Natural Features or Floodplain
Overlay Zoning Districts. Yield plans shall meet the following requirements:
(a)
SALDO requirements. Yield plans must be prepared as conceptual layout plans in accordance with the standards of Articles IV and V of Chapter 235, Subdivision and Land Development, containing proposed lots, streets, rights-of-way, and other pertinent features. Although it must be drawn to scale, it need not be based on a field survey. However, it must be a realistic layout reflecting a development pattern that could reasonably be expected to be implemented, taking into account the presence of wetlands, floodplains, steep slopes, existing easements or encumbrances and, if unsewered, the suitability of soils for subsurface sewage disposal.
(b)
Resource identification. The yield plan must identify the site's
primary and secondary conservation areas, as identified in the Existing
Resources and Site Analysis Plan, and demonstrate that the primary
conservation areas could be successfully absorbed in the development
process without disturbance, by allocating this area to proposed residential
lots which conform to the regulations of the underlying zoning district.
The yield plan shall be based upon accurate mapping of wetlands, one-hundred-year
floodplains and land with slopes greater than 12%.
(c)
Individual on-lot sewage disposal systems. On sites not served
by central or public sewage disposal, density shall be further determined
by evaluating the number of homes that could be supported by individual
on-lot septic systems on conventional lots. Based on the primary and
secondary resources, identified as part of the inventory and analysis,
and observations made during an on-site visit of the property, the
Township Planning Commission shall select a 10% sample of the lots
considered to be marginal for on-lot sewage disposal. The applicant
is required to provide evidence that these lots meet the standards
for an individual on-lot septic system and replacement area before
the applicant shall be granted the full density determined by the
yield plan. Should any of the lots in a sample fail to meet the standard
for individual on-lot septic system, those lots shall be deducted
from the yield plan and a second 10% sample shall be selected by the
Township Planning Commission and tested for compliance. This process
shall be repeated until all lots in a given sample meet the standard
for an individual on-lot septic system.
(d)
Yield plan dimensional standards. The dimensional standards
for yield plans shall be those of the underlying zoning district as
supplemented or modified by the Natural Features Overlay Districts,
and the Floodplain Protection Overlay District.

In addition to the design standards set forth in Articles IV and V of Chapter 235, Subdivision and Land Development, conservation subdivisions using neutral density and basic conservation shall conform with the following design standards:
A.
Dwelling lots. Dwelling lots shall not encroach upon primary conservation areas as identified in Article IV of Chapter 235, Subdivision and Land Development, and their layout shall respect secondary conservation areas as described in both this chapter and in Chapter 235, Subdivision and Land Development.
B.

|
C.
Exterior views of dwelling lots. Exterior views of dwelling lots from exterior roads and abutting properties shall be minimized by the use of changes in topography, existing vegetation, or additional landscaping which meets the landscaping requirements of Article XXIV, Landscaping, of this chapter and Article V of Chapter 235, Subdivision and Land Development.
D.
Dwelling lot access. Dwelling lots shall generally be accessed from
interior streets, rather than from roads bordering the tract.
E.
Dwelling lots abutting open space and greenway. At least 30% of the
dwelling lots shall directly abut or face open space and greenway
land across a street.
Protected open space and greenway land in all conservation subdivisions
shall meet the following standards:
A.
Permitted uses on open space and greenway lands. The following uses
are permitted in open space and greenway land areas:
(1)
Nature preserve and wildlife sanctuary, and other similar-type conservation
uses;
(2)
Agriculture (excluding agribusiness);
(3)
Pastureland for horses used solely for recreational purposes. Equestrian
facilities shall be permitted but may not consume more than 75% of
the minimum required open space and greenway land;
(4)
Forestry;
(5)
Neighborhood open space uses such as village greens, commons, picnic
areas, community gardens, trails, and similar low-impact passive recreational
uses specifically excluding motorized off-road vehicles, shooting
ranges, and other uses similar in character and potential impact as
determined by the Board of Supervisors;
(6)
Active noncommercial recreation areas, such as playing-fields, playgrounds,
courts, and bikeways, provided such areas do not consume more than
half of the minimum required open space and greenway land or five
acres, whichever is less. Playing fields, playgrounds, and courts
shall not be located within 100 feet of abutting properties. Parking
facilities for the same shall also be permitted, and they shall generally
be gravel-surfaced, unlighted, properly drained, provide safe ingress
and egress, and contain no more than 10 parking spaces;
(7)
Golf courses, including their parking areas and associated structures,
may comprise up to half of the minimum required open space and greenway
land, but shall not include driving ranges or miniature golf;
(8)
Water supply and sewage disposal systems, and stormwater detention
areas designed, landscaped, and available for use as an integral part
of the conservation open space. However, water treatment plants and
storage tanks, central sewage treatment plants and lagoons, and a
fifty-foot buffer around such facilities shall not be included within
the minimum required open space and greenway requirement. In cases
where any sewage disposal system serving an individual dwelling is
located in an open space and greenway area, the developer shall provide
for on-site system maintenance via deed covenants and restrictions
or other means approved by the Township. This shall include, but not
be limited to, the inspection of the on-site systems and the pumping
of septic tanks at intervals of not less than three years from the
date of the operation of each system;
(9)
Easements for drainage, access, sewer or water lines, or other public
purposes; and
(10)
Essential services, specifically those involving underground
utility rights-of-way. Aboveground utility and street rights-of-way
may traverse conservation areas but shall not count toward the minimum
required open space and greenway land.
B.
Open space and greenway design standards.
(1)
Open space and greenway lands shall be laid out in general accordance
with the West Manheim Township Comprehensive Plan and/or Map of Primary
Conservation Areas by incorporating them into proposed open space
and greenway areas or avoiding their disturbance in areas proposed
for development in Map of Potential Conservation Lands (in the Comprehensive
Plan) to ensure that an interconnected network of open space and greenways
will be provided. The required open space and greenway land consists
of a mixture of primary conservation areas (PCAs), all of which must
be included, and secondary conservation areas (SCAs).
(2)
In conservation subdivisions, the open space and greenway land comprises
a minimum of 25% of the adjusted tract area. This land shall generally
remain undivided and may be owned and maintained by a homeowners'
association; land trust; another conservation organization recognized
by West Manheim Township; or private individual. However, in no case
shall less than 15% of the land comprising the adjusted tract area
be available for the common use and passive enjoyment of the conservation
subdivision residents. These ownership options may be combined so
that different parts of the open space and greenway land may be owned
by different entities as determined by the Township.
(3)
Common greens.
(a)
In conservation subdivisions, at least 2% to 3% of the required
greenway lands shall be in the form of common greens. A green is typically
5,000 square feet to 20,000 square feet in area, with a maximum area
of 32,000 square feet, and shall be located internal to the developed
areas. The minimum percent of open space in greens shall be determined
as follows:
(b)
A common green may be created and maintained as the open space
around which dwellings are arranged. If common greens are utilized,
dwellings shall face the common green with the front facade of the
dwelling.
(5)
Buffers for adjacent public parkland. Where the proposed subdivision
abuts public parkland, a natural open space and greenway buffer at
least 150 feet deep shall be provided within the subdivision along
its common boundary with the parkland, within which no new structures
shall be constructed, nor shall any clearing of trees or understory
growth be permitted (except as may be necessary for street or trail
construction). Where this buffer is unwooded, the Board of Supervisors
may require vegetative screening to be planted, or that it be managed
to encourage natural forest succession through "no-mow" policies and
the periodic removal of invasive alien plant and tree species.
C.
Other requirements.
(1)
No portion of any dwelling or building lot may be used for meeting the minimum required open space and greenway land, except as permitted in § 270-76. However, active agricultural land with farm buildings, excluding areas used for residences, may be used to meet the minimum required open space and greenway land.
In conservation subdivisions, the required open space and greenway land shall be subject to permanent conservation easements prohibiting future development and defining the range of permitted activities. (For example, the clearing of woodland habitat shall generally be prohibited, except as necessary to create trails, active recreation facilities, and to install subsurface septic disposal systems or spray irrigation facilities.) The determination of necessity shall lie with the Board of Supervisors. A list of permitted uses of open space and greenway lands is contained in §§ 270-70 and 270-74.
A.
Development restrictions. All open space and greenway land shall be permanently restricted from future subdivision and development. Under no circumstances shall any development be permitted in the open space and greenway land at any time, except for those uses listed in § 270-74A of this chapter.
B.
Ownership options. The following methods may be used, either individually
or in combination, to own common facilities. Common facilities shall
not be transferred to another entity except for transfer to another
method of ownership permitted under this article, and then only when
there is no change in the common facilities or in the open space and
greenway land ratio of the overall development. Ownership methods
shall conform to the following:
(2)
Condominium association. Common facilities may be controlled through the use of condominium agreements. Such agreements shall be in accordance with relevant state law. All open space and greenway land and common facilities shall be held as "common element." In addition to the provisions of this article, the requirements of Articles IV and V of Chapter 235, Subdivision and Land Development, regarding community associations shall be met.
(3)
Homeowners' association. Common facilities may be held in common ownership by a homeowners' association, subject to all of the provisions for homeowners' associations set forth in state regulations and statutes, and the provisions set forth in Articles IV and V of Chapter 235, Subdivision and Land Development, regarding community associations. In addition, the following regulations shall be met:
(a)
The applicant shall provide the Township a description of the
organization of the proposed association, including its bylaws, and
all documents governing ownership, maintenance, and use restrictions
for common facilities;
(b)
The proposed association shall be established by the owner or
applicant and shall be operating (with financial subsidization by
the owner or applicant, if necessary) before the sale of any dwelling
units in the development;
(c)
Membership in the association shall be automatic (mandatory)
for all purchasers of dwelling units therein and their successors
in title;
(d)
The association shall be responsible for maintenance and insurance
of common facilities;
(e)
The bylaws shall confer legal authority on the association to
place a lien on the real property of any member who falls delinquent
in his dues. Such dues shall be paid with the accrued interest before
the lien may be lifted;
(f)
Written notice of any proposed transfer of common facilities
by the association or the assumption of maintenance for common facilities
must be given to all members of the association and to West Manheim
Township no less than 30 days prior to such event; and
(g)
The association shall have adequate staff to administer, maintain,
and operate such common facilities.
(4)
Private conservation organization or York County. With permission
of the Board of Supervisors, an owner may transfer either fee simple
title of the open space and greenway land or easements on the open
space and greenway to a private nonprofit conservation organization
or to York County, provided that:
(a)
The conservation organization is acceptable to West Manheim
Township and is a bona fide conservation organization intended to
exist indefinitely;
(b)
The conveyance contains appropriate provisions for proper reverter
or retransfer in the event that the organization or York County becomes
unwilling or unable to continue carrying out its functions;
(c)
The open space and greenway land is permanently restricted from
future development through a conservation easement and the Township
is given the ability to enforce these restrictions; and
(d)
A maintenance agreement acceptable to West Manheim Township
is established between the owner and the organization or York County.
(5)
Dedication of easements to West Manheim Township. West Manheim Township
may, but shall not be required to, accept easements for public use
of any portion of the common land or facilities. In such cases, the
facility remains in the ownership of the condominium association,
homeowners' association, or private conservation organization while
the easements are held by the Township. In addition, the following
regulations shall apply:
(6)
Noncommon private ownership. Up to 80% of the required open space and greenway land may be included within one or more large "conservancy lots" of at least 10 acres provided the open space and greenway land is permanently restricted from future development through a conservation easement, except for those uses listed in § 270-74A of this chapter, and that the Township is given the ability to enforce these restrictions.
C.
Maintenance.
(1)
Unless otherwise agreed to by the Board of Supervisors, the cost
and responsibility of maintaining common facilities and open space
and greenway land shall be borne by the property owner, condominium
association, homeowners' association, or conservation organization.
(2)
The applicant shall, at the time of preliminary plan submission,
provide a plan for maintenance of open space and greenway lands and
operation of common facilities in accordance with the following requirements.
(a)
The plan shall define ownership;
(b)
The plan shall establish necessary regular and periodic operation
and maintenance responsibilities for the various kinds of open space
(i.e., lawns, playing fields, meadow, pasture, cropland, woodlands,
etc.);
(c)
The plan shall estimate staffing needs, insurance requirements,
and associated costs, and define the means for funding the maintenance
of the open space and greenway land and operation of any common facilities
on an ongoing basis. Such funding plan shall include the means for
funding long-term capital improvements as well as regular yearly operating
and maintenance costs;
(d)
Based upon the information provided by the applicant as part
of the plan for maintenance of open space and greenway lands and operation
of common facilities, at the Township's discretion the applicant may
be required to escrow sufficient funds for the maintenance and operation
costs of common facilities for up to one year; and
(e)
Any changes to the maintenance plan shall be approved by the
Board of Supervisors.
(3)
In the event that the organization established to maintain the open
space and greenway lands and the common facilities, or any successor
organization thereto, fails to maintain all or any portion thereof
in reasonable order and condition, the Township may assume responsibility
for maintenance, in which case any escrow funds may be forfeited and
any permits may be revoked or suspended.
(4)
The Township may enter the premises and take corrective action, including
extended maintenance. The costs of such corrective action may be charged
to the property owner, condominium association, homeowners' association,
conservation organization, or individual property owners who make
up a condominium or homeowners' association and may include administrative
costs and penalties. Such costs shall become a lien on said properties.
Notice of such lien shall be filed by the Township in the office of
the Prothonotary of York County.
