[Amended 12-10-1992 by Ord. No. 1031]
These regulations shall be known as and may
be cited as the "Borough of Homestead Subdivision and Land Development
Ordinance No. 1016."
This chapter is adopted with the authority granted
to municipalities to regulate subdivision and land development by
the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, Act 247 of 1968, as
amended by Act 170 of 1988 (53 P.S. § 10101 et seq.).
The intention of this chapter is to set forth
regulations for subdivision and land development so that the community
may develop in a well-considered and orderly manner, that it shall
be developed primarily as a residential community with provisions
for sufficient commercial areas to furnish service and provide for
the needs of the residents, and a Planned Economic Reuse District
to encourage employment and provide the most beneficial relationship
between the uses of land and buildings and the circulation of traffic
throughout the municipality and to ensure appropriate development.
It is important that new developments receive adequate and efficient
street, water, sewerage, recreation areas and other public requirements
and facilities.
The provisions of these regulations shall be
held to be minimum requirements to meet the above-stated purposes.
Where the provisions of these regulations impose greater restrictions
than those of any other ordinance or regulation, the provisions of
these regulations shall prevail. Where the provisions of any other
ordinance or regulation impose greater restrictions than those of
these regulations, the provisions of such ordinance or regulation
shall prevail.
