Within any LI Industrial or I Industrial District, an industrial park may be developed on a parcel of land containing no less than 10 acres, subject to the Township Planning Commission's review and approval by the Township Supervisors, as prescribed by
Chapter 320: Subdivision and Land Development, and provided that:
A. The basic scheme shall be approved by the Township Planning Commission as a preliminary plan, at which time evidence of provision of both public sewerage and public water shall be offered. The applicant is encouraged to submit a sketch plan to the Township Planning Commission, prior to the submission of a preliminary plan, for an unofficial review.
(1) It is characteristic of industrial parks that the developer cannot usually prepare a final lot layout plan for approval prior to initial construction, such as can be done with residential subdivisions, since the space needs of future tenants or purchasers may not be known, but the schematic arrangement of road circulation and intent of the developer as to the character of the proposed development must be acceptable to the Planning Commission and the Township Supervisors.
(2) Prior to the issuance of each building permit, the Zoning Administration Officer shall review the application with the Planning Commission, or with a committee thereof appointed by the Chairman for such purposes, and each lot shall conform generally with the initially approved preliminary plan arrangement.
B. All streets within the industrial park shall be curbed, and shall be not less than 36 feet in width between curbs, and all curb radii shall provide for tractor-trailer trucks.
C. Within any industrial cluster development or industrial park, the minimum lot area may be reduced from the requirements of §
370-117, and without special exception approval as noted below:
(1) LI Limited Industrial District: one acre minimum developable area.
(2) I Industrial District: 80,000 square feet minimum developable area.
D. The following variations or deviations from the regulations contained in §
370-93 may be permitted for any industrial cluster development or industrial park:
(1) Maximum building and lot coverage may each be increased by 5% for each range of permitted lot size as shown in §
370-93B.
(2) Minimum front lot line width may be reduced to 200 feet and the minimum lot width at the building line may be reduced to 200 feet.
(3) Front, side, and rear yard depths may be decreased to 50 feet except when abutting any residential district, a minimum seventy-five-foot yard shall be maintained.
E. For any industrial cluster development or industrial park, each of the requirements of §§
370-94,
370-95,
370-96,
370-97,
370-98,
370-99,
370-100,
370-101 and
370-106 of this chapter shall be applicable.
F. Any area within any industrial cluster development or industrial park which is not utilized for paving, parking, loading area or building areas as prescribed by this chapter shall be set aside, provided with and maintained permanently as a green area (with shrubs, trees, and an all-season ground cover).
