Industrial District

The I-1 Industrial District is hereby established as a district in which regulations are intended to provide for selected, large-scale, nonnuisance industrial type establishments, which require large sites and land areas, as well as to permit and encourage an integrated industrial development of land held in single and separate ownership and or control as defined in Section 107 a of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code.; In an integrated industrial development it is intended that the overall tract be designed so that the planning concept known as lot averaging shall apply and be fostered to the extent that the smallest permissible lot shall not be applicable to the entire tract or any part thereof but shall only be permitted in the ratio to the total tract as herein set forth, when the tract is developed in the overall pattern of lots of varying sizes or areas so that an average minimum lot size shall not be less than six acres.; C. It is the intent of this legislation to be applied to land so located and designed for integrated development that it will constitute a harmonious and appropriate part of the physical land development of the Township, thereby contributing to the economic base of the Township; to encourage construction of structures on the land for continued use of land for industrial and related purposes; to prohibit any use which would interfere with the development, continuation, or expansion of the integrated industrial use in any such district; to establish reasonable standards for buildings and structures, areas and dimensions of yards i.e., setback requirements and use of other open spaces; for the provision of facilities and the operation of industry to prevent air pollution, noise, glare, heat, vibration, fire and ensure the public safety of those employed in such districts as well as the general health, safety, and welfare of the Township.
