Size.

Design.

Residential parking requirements. Two spaces per dwelling unit.

Nonresidential parking requirements. There shall be sufficient parking spaces provided for each use by the application of the appropriate formula for each use as listed in this subsection. The Borough Council may authorize a reduction in the number of off-street parking spaces in cases where the applicant can justify the reduction and still provide adequate facilities. The number of required parking spaces may be increased based on the intensity of the use, with the burden of proof on the applicant. In the case of mixed uses, excluding shopping centers, the total number of required parking spaces shall be the sum of the required spaces for the various uses computed separately.

Location.

Size. Off-street loading and unloading areas shall be at least 15 feet wide, 16 feet vertical clearance, 60 feet deep and shall have an adequate maneuvering apron.

Access. Each off-street loading and unloading area shall be designed with appropriate means of vehicular access to an interior drive in a manner which will least interfere with traffic movements, and shall be subject to the approval of the Borough. Such access shall have paved surfaces to provide safe and convenient access during all seasons.

Surfacing. Loading and unloading spaces shall have paved all-weather, dustless surfaces of sufficient load-bearing properties consistent with the intended uses.

Space allowed. Space allowed to any off-street loading berth shall not, while so allocated, be used to satisfy the space requirements of any off-street parking facilities or portions thereof. Required off-street parking spaces shall not be used for loading and unloading purposes except during hours when business operations are suspended.

Unless clearly impractical or inappropriate, lots which abut two or more streets shall have direct access only to a street of lesser functional classification.

Where lots are created having frontage on expressway, arterial, major collector and minor collector streets, as classified by the Comprehensive Plan, any proposed development street pattern shall provide reverse frontage to local streets within the subdivision, unless clearly impractical due to lot configuration or topography. Residential developments which propose streets with reverse frontage lots shall buffer the reverse frontage lot along the rear yard lot line from the major street, in accordance with § 250-68.

Each use with less than 400 feet of street frontage shall not have more than one ingress and egress land to such street, and no use with 400 or more of street frontage shall have more than two accessways to any one street for each 800 feet of street frontage. A common access point for two or more uses is required where practical, to minimize vehicular access points along streets other than local streets.

Every building and lot shall have access to a public street or an approved private street. Unless clearly impractical, all residential lots shall have direct access only to a local access street.

All vehicular access ways to any public street shall be located at least 100 feet from any intersection of a street, measured from the intersection of the street lines.

Provisions shall be made for safe and efficient ingress and egress to and from public streets, without undue congestion or interference with normal traffic flow within the Borough. The developer shall be responsible for the design and construction, and the costs thereof, of any necessary traffic control device and/or highway modifications required by the Borough and/or the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).

Obstructions to vision.

Design of access aisles and drives.

Common or shared access driveways to parking and loading areas are permitted and encouraged, provided landowners shall submit a site plan and agreement indicating the extent of joint use and maintenance responsibility.

Fire lane easements.

Landscaping.

Screening.

Applicability. Lighting facilities shall be required for loading, ingress and egress, and parking areas for multiple-family, commercial, industrial and institutional uses. The Borough Council may require lighting to be incorporated for other uses of locations where warranted. All lighting facilities shall have underground wiring.

Design.

Installation responsibilities.

Residential lighting. Lighting facilities on individual single-family and other residential lots to illuminate private walkways, driveways, parking areas, patios, tennis courts, swimming pools or other areas shall be permitted under the following conditions:

Outdoor storage shall be completely screened from view of any public right-of-way and any adjacent residential use. Screening shall consist of evergreen plantings, architectural screen or approved safety fence.

No storage shall be permitted within the front yard of any lot.

Outside storage of raw materials and/or finished products shall be permitted only within the buildable area of the lot behind the front building line of the principal building, and shall not exceed 10 feet in height.

Outdoor storage facilities for fuel, raw materials and products shall be enclosed with an approved safety fence compatible with the architectural and landscaping style employed on the lot. In addition to a fence, bulk storage tanks shall be enclosed by a moat or berm to contain potential spillage.

All organic refuse or garbage shall be stored in tight, vermin-proof containers. In multiple-family, commercial and industrial developments, garbage storage shall be centralized to expedite collection and enclosed on three sides by an architectural screen or plantings.

Air quality. There shall be no emission of smoke, ash, dust, fumes, vapors, gases or other matter toxic or noxious to air which violate the Pennsylvania Air Pollution Control Laws, including the standards set forth in Chapter 123 (Standards for Contaminants), and Chapter 131 (Ambient Air Quality Standards), Article III, Title 25, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Rules and Regulations.

Fire and explosive hazards. All activities and all storage of flammable and explosive material at any point shall be provided with adequate safety devices against the hazard of fire and explosion, and adequate fire-fighting and fire-suppression equipment, and devices as detailed and specified by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. All buildings and structures and activities within such buildings and structures shall conform to the Building Code,

Glare and heat. No direct or sky-reflected glare, whether from floodlights or high-temperature processes, such as combustion or welding or otherwise, so as to be visible at the lot line shall be permitted. These regulations shall not apply to signs or floodlighting of parking areas otherwise permitted by this chapter. There shall be no emission or transmission of heat or heated air so as to be discernible at the lot line.

Liquid and solid waste. There shall be no discharge at any point into any public or private sewerage system, or watercourses or into the ground, of any materials in such a way or such a nature, as will contaminate or otherwise cause the emission of hazardous materials in violation of the laws of Stockertown Borough and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and specifically to Chapters 73, 75, 95 and 97, Title 25, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Rules and Regulations.

Noise. No person shall operate, or cause to be operated on private or public property, any source of continuous sound (any sound which is static, fluctuating or intermittent with a recurrence greater than one time in any fifteen-second interval) in such a manner as to create a sound level which exceeds the limits set forth in the following table when measured at or within the property boundary of the receiving land use.

Odors. No uses, except agricultural operations, shall emit odorous gases or other odorous matter in such quantities to be offensive at any point on or beyond its lot lines. The guide for determining such quantities of offensive odors shall be the 50% response level of Table 1 (Odor Thresholds in Air), "Research of Chemical Odors; Part I — Odor Thresholds for 53 Commercial Chemicals," October 1986, Manufacturing Chemists Association, Inc., Washington, D.C.

Vibration. No vibration shall be produced which is transmitted through the ground and is discernible without the aid of instruments at or at any point beyond the lot line.

Radioactivity or electrical disturbances. There shall be no activities which emit dangerous radioactivity at any point. There shall be no radio or electrical disturbances adversely affecting the operation of equipment belonging to someone other than the creator of the disturbance. If any use is proposed which incorporates the use of any radioactive material, equipment or supplies, such use shall be in strict conformity with Chapters 221, 223, 225, 227 and 229, Title 25, Article V, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Rules and Regulations.

Public health and safety. No use shall create any other objectionable condition in an adjoining area, which will endanger public health and safety or be detrimental to the proper use of the surrounding area.

Where an unimproved lot is situated between two improved lots having on each a principal building within 25 feet of the side boundary line of such unimproved lot, which extends into the required front yard of each such improved lot and has been so maintained prior to the effective date of this chapter, the front yard depth of such unimproved lot may be the average depth of the front yards of such two adjacent improved lots, notwithstanding the yard requirements of the district in which it is located.

Where an unimproved lot adjoins only one improved lot having a principal building thereon within 25 feet of the common side lot line which extends into the required front yard of such improved lot and has been so maintained prior to the effective date of this chapter; the front yard depth of such unimproved lot may be the average depth of the front yard of such adjacent improved lot and the front yard required in the district in which such unimproved lot is located, notwithstanding the yard requirements of such district.

An arbor, open trellis, flagpole, unroofed steps and terraces, and accessory buildings or structures providing such a projection shall be no closer than the setback required for accessory buildings or structures in the district in which the lot is located.

Roofed terraces, patios, canopies or awnings not included in the area calculation of a building may project into any yard a maximum of 15 feet, provided such a projection shall be no closer than the setback required for accessory structures or buildings in the district in which the lot is located.

Radio towers and microwave antennas in accordance with the provisions of § 250-44G of this chapter.

No fence or wall, except a retaining wall, or a wall of a building permitted under the terms of this chapter, shall be erected within two feet of a property boundary line, unless a written agreement waiving the specific provisions of this chapter has been executed by the adjoining property owner and filed in the Office of the Borough Zoning Officer.
