Whenever there is a difference between the standards specified
herein and those indicated in other applicable regulations, the more
stringent requirement shall apply.
The provisions of this chapter are severable. Should any section,
sentence, clause, part or provision hereof shall be held illegal,
invalid, or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction,
such decision shall not effect or impair the remaining sections, sentences,
clauses, parts or provisions of this chapter. It is hereby declared
to be the intent of the Board of Supervisors that this chapter would
have been enacted if such illegal, invalid, or unconstitutional sections,
sentence, clause, part, or provision had not been included herein.
A.
The Lancaster Township Zoning Ordinance, Ordinance No. 29, is hereby
amended; provided, however, that the amendment shall in no manner
be construed as a waiver, release or relinquishment of the right to
initiate, pursue, or prosecute, as the case may be, any proceeding
at law or in equity, including criminal proceedings, pertaining to
any act done which would have been constituted a violation of Ordinance
No. 29, and all provisions of Ordinance No. 29 shall remain in full
force and effect, and are not repealed hereby, as they pertain to
such acts.
B.
The provisions of this chapter, so far as they are common to those
regulations in force immediately prior to the enactment of this chapter,
are intended as a continuation of such prior regulations and not as
new enactments.
C.
All ordinances or regulations, or parts of such ordinances or regulations,
in conflict with this chapter or inconsistent with its provisions,
are hereby repealed to the extent necessary to give this chapter full
force and effect.
D.
The adoption of this chapter does not make legitimate development
activity in the Township under provisions of the prior regulations
illegal, nor does it annul any litigation currently being pursued
or that may be pursued in the future against such illegal activity.
