Light Industrial District

It is the intent of this article to provide regulations for light industrial development that are generally consistent with the goals and recommendations of the Upper Perkiomen Valley Regional Comprehensive Plan, the Upper Hanover Township Open Space and Environmental Resource Protection Plan Update 2006, or any successor plan thereto, and the following objectives: Promote development of a broad range of employment-oriented manufacturing, research and development, laboratory and office uses on individual lots and in planned industrial office centers; Apply strict performance standards to limit potential pollution and other adverse environmental effects and minimize vehicular, fire and safety hazards resulting from permitted development; Confine traffic impacts to major roads by taking vehicular access only from arterial and collector roads and by using railroad freight access to further reduce impact on area roads; Establish flexible lotting standards and operational, dimensional and landscaping standards to minimize adverse impacts on surrounding uses and natural features and to encourage superior site design; Provide reasonable standards for the height and bulk of all buildings and other industrial, office and other structures and for the dimensions of yards and open spaces to make development more compatible with the rural character of the area.
