Preston Township, Wayne County
Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance
All commercial and industrial subdivisions and land developments shall conform with the provisions
of the applicable section(s) of this Ordinance. Notwithstanding any requirements that may exist
under the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code to submit an application for approval, the
land development standards contained herein shall not, however, apply to the following:
35.1.1 Temporary or accessory activities.
35.1.2 Minor building alterations, repairs or maintenance activities.
35.1.3 Conversion of single-family dwellings to two-family dwellings.
35.1.4 Replacement, rehabilitation or reconstruction of a structure or facility for the same use at
the same scale.
35.1.5 Construction of any non-residential structure of less than one-thousand (1,000) square
feet in floor area that does not involve any of the activities specifically regulated herein.
These standards contained herein shall also not apply to new commercial agricultural land
developments that involve the husbandry, at any one time, of less than one-hundred (100) livestock
units or one (1) livestock unit per acre of land; or to animals raised for 4-H or other youth club
activities. Where new commercial agricultural land developments exceed both these thresholds
they shall be subject to review hereunder. A livestock unit shall consist of any one of the following
and livestock units for non-specified animals shall be calculated based on similarity to those that
are specified:
One (1) hog;
One (1) large animal (cows, sheep, goats, deer, etc.);
Five-hundred (500) poultry;
Three-hundred (300) other small animals (rabbits, chinchillas, mink, etc.).
The above list is intended to clarify, in terms of their practical application, the exceptions already
provided under the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code. No person is exempted from the
demands to file any plan required under such Code regardless whether or not standards for the
same have been included in this Ordinance.
35.2 Procedure. Commercial, industrial and other non-residential land developments shall comply fully
with the procedures set forth in Article III of this Chapter, "Procedures, Plans and Improvement
Requirements," regardless whether or not any actual conveyance of land by metes and bounds or
other means is involved. Plans for new or expanded commercial, industrial or other non-residential
developments shall be prepared and submitted for review and approval in the same manner as
plans for subdivisions.
