OR District Zoning Workshop

This podcast reviews the zoning regulations for the Newtown OR Office Research Districts, specifying rules that govern land use within this area. These regulations delineate three main categories of permissible activities: Uses by Right, which are allowed provided all use regulations are met; Uses by Conditional Approval, which require meeting specific conditional use requirements; and Uses by Special Exception, which need authorization from the Local Zoning Hearing Board. Additionally, the zoning includes a Table of Area and Dimensional Regulations, setting forth minimum requirements for lot area, lot width, maximum impervious surface ratio, and maximum building height for both residential and nonresidential uses, along with detailed minimum yard requirements for front, side, and rear setbacks. The zoning document also includes several footnotes clarifying specific dimensional requirements for uses like towers and motor vehicle fueling stations.
