Village Commercial Residential District

In expansion of the Declaration of Legislative Intent and Interpretation contained in Article 1, Sections 101 and 102, respectively, of this Ordinance and in furtherance of the goals of the adopted Indian Valley Regional Comprehensive Plan, it is hereby declared to be the intent of this Article with respect to the VCR Village Commercial Residential District to encourage the maintenance and enhancement of the existing visual character and residential lifestyle of the defined Tylersport Village area of Salford Township which exhibits a mixture of single-family detached, singlefamily semi-detached, and converted multifamily dwellings, as well as scattered commercial uses and home occupations, on smaller lot sizes than those generally found throughout the Township. Furthermore, it is the intent, of this District to guide the preservation and future development or redevelopment of the defined Tylersport Village area by providing strict controls and guidelines for both residential and non-residential conversions; home occupations; and the selective introduction of neighborhood-scale office and retail commercial enterprises; in order to prevent the introduction and spread of incompatible uses or activities within the boundaries of the VCR District. Finally, It is the intent of the VCR District to provide for the evaluation of all subdivision and development activity proposed to be located within the defined VCR District to insure that such development, will, to the greatest extent feasible, be compatible with the existing character of the defined Tylersport Village area, the goals of the Salford Township Comprehensive Plan; and the goals of the Tylersport Village Preservation District Study; and will not lead to rapid deterioration or transition of the defined Tylersport Village area to the detriment of the general welfare of village residents or the residents of Salford Township.
