Home Occupation  -  Any use customarily conducted, to the extent that commercial activity is conducted on a the home site, entirely within a dwelling or in a building accessory thereto and carried on by the inhabitants residing therein, providing that the use is clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling for dwelling purposes, the exterior appearance of the structure or premises is constructed and maintained as a residential dwelling, and no goods are publicly displayed on the premises other than signs as provided herein. ; including but not limited to the following occupations:  the professional practice of medicine, dentistry, architecture, law, and engineering; artists, beauticians, barbers, veterinarians, small offices for performance of clerical, word processing and computer functions which may or may not be connected to the operation of a business that otherwise operates off site, but excluding stables or kennels.

Section 305 – Use Regulations:

            Remove Home Occupations as a conditional use in the R-1 District.

            Add Home Occupations as a Special Exception in the R-1 District.

Section 401 -  Home Occupations

401.1 Home occupations shall be permitted as indicated in Section 305 anywhere in the Township, as conditional uses, provided such occupation is clearly incidental or secondary to the use of the property as a residence and does not change the character of or have an exterior effect on the dwelling. 

a.      In the R-1 District the minimum lot size shall be five (5) acres and the minimum set back of any home occupation activity to adjoining properties or streets, alleys, roads, etc. shall be one hundred (100) feet. 

b.     In all other Districts where home occupations are permitted the minimum lot size shall be two (2) acres and the minimum set back of any home occupation activity to adjoining properties or streets, alleys, roads, etc. shall be fifty (50) feet.

c.      Home occupations shall be limited to the employment, on premises, of not more than two (2) persons, other than immediate family members living on the premises, at any one time.  An additional off street parking space shall be provided for each employee.

d.     Home occupations shall not occupy more than twenty-five (25) percent of the total floor area of the dwelling unit including basement and accessory buildings.

e.      In addition to the requirements for home occupations applications conditional uses as set forth in this ordinance, all applicants for home occupations shall give written notice of their application to all property owners with real property that abut the subject property or are within 500 feet of the boundaries of their property (the subject parcel) on the same street, public or private, and shall submit an affidavit showing proof of said notice to the Board of Supervisors at the time of hearing.

f.       Applicants must demonstrate compliance with all applicable state and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to those regulating sewage, building, solid waste removal, etc. as they relate to the project.

g.      Applicants must supply the Township with filed copies of fictitious name registrations or certificates of incorporation as applicable.

h.      Home occupations shall not detract from the residential character or appearance of the neighborhood.  The following factors shall be used to make this assessment.

1.     Extent of business - whether or not the home is still the identifiable primary use of the property.  Factors shall include the amount of time the business is operated on a daily basis.

2.     Appearance from an adjacent street - whether or not the use of the property as a business is distinguishable from an adjacent street.  Except for a non-illuminated, identification sign no larger four (4) square feet in size attached to the principal structure, nothing shall occur on the property that can be observed from an adjacent street which makes it readily apparent a business is being operated on the premises.  In cases where the principal structure is obscured from the street, or the structure is set back more than fifty (50) feet from the property line, a non-illuminated ground sign not to exceed four (4) square feet may be used.  Factors for evaluating this standard shall include but not be limited to be that the residential dwelling not be altered to change its residential appearance, and no activity related to the conduct of the home occupation shall be permitted to occur in such a manner as to be obtrusive to the neighborhood or attract extra attention to the business.

3.     Impact on the neighborhood - whether or not the business activity is causing a deviation from the residential character of the neighborhood. Factors for evaluating this standard shall include but not be limited to whether or not the business is generating excessive traffic detrimental to the neighborhood beyond normal residential traffic.  A home occupation shall generate no greater than twenty-four (24) vehicle trips per day, based on estimates provided by the Institute of Transportation Engineers.  However, for specific neighborhoods, these amounts may be lowered or raised, at the discretion of the Township to consider widths of properties, widths of streets, hills, curves and the number of children present. 

4.     Parking - whether or not parking problems could result from the use.  Factors shall include, but not be limited to:

1)     except for special gatherings, parking required for the business shall be provided on-site or be limited to the area along the frontage of the property on the street;

2)     parking on the property shall be on a surface equal in quality to the paving surface of any existing driveway unless there is no surface other than the ground in which case a gravel surface shall be provided; and

3)     no home based business shall be permitted which requires parking of tractor-trailer combinations along the street or on site  for other than short term delivery purposes.

5.     Nuisance - whether or not the use is causing or will cause other nuisances for surrounding property owners or is deviating from the residential character or appearance of the neighborhood.

6.     Expansions - no home based business, having once been permitted or established, shall be added to, expanded, enlarged or otherwise increased or changed substantially in character without complying with this law and such permission or establishment shall not be a basis for a later application to establish a principal commercial use.  Moreover, the conversion of a residence with a home based business to a commercial use by the abandonment of the residence or the sale, rent, or transfer of the business to a party which does not reside on-site is strictly prohibited unless the business is then moved off site.

7.     Violation of subsections 4, 5 and 6 of this section shall be grounds for revocation of any permit issued by the township for a home occupation.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF DINGMAN TOWNSHIP BY REVISING PROVISIONS REGULATING CONDITIONAL USES AND SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS

            The Supervisors of Dingman Township, at a regularly or specially advertised meeting, do hereby ordain and enact the following:

Section 404  -  Conditional Use and Special Exceptions is hereby replaced with:

404.1 Conditional Uses - Uses listed as "Conditional Uses" shall require individual consideration in each case because of their unique characteristics.  Such "Conditional Uses" shall be referred to the Planning Commis­sion for review and recommendation and may be permitted only after public notice and hearing and determination by the Board that such uses meet the standards in this Ordinance.  The Commis­sion shall have 30 days from the date they receive the referral in which to make a recom­mendation to the Board.

                    Applicants for Conditional Uses shall submit plot plans in sufficient detail to provide the Board and the Planning Commission with enough information to properly evaluate the proposed planned use.  The burden of proof shall be on the applicant to present sufficient evidence to show compliance with all applicable standards hereunder and the burden shall never shift to the municipality or other parties to show the contrary.

Such Conditional Uses which are authorized by the Board may be subject to any additional conditions and safeguards including but not limited to increased lot size established by the Board in each case which may be warranted by the character of the areas in which such uses are.

404.2 Special Exceptions - Uses specified as special exceptions under this Ordinance shall be permitted only after review by the Planning Commission and review and approval by the Zoning Hearing Board. Such approval shall be based on the determination that the use is appropriate to the specific location for which it is proposed, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and in keeping with the purposes and intent of this Ordinance. The following criteria shall be used as a guide in evaluating a proposed use:

            a.  The presence of adjoining similar uses.      

            b.  The presence of an adjoining district in which the use is permitted.

            c.  The need for the use in the area proposed, as established by the comprehensive plan.

                                               d. Sufficient area to effectively screen the use from nearby different uses.

            e.  Conditions such that there were several potential sites for the use but not sufficient need to establish a permitting zone district or to leave the District open to indiscriminate  placement of such use.

            f.  Sufficient safeguards such as parking, traffic control, screening and setbacks can be effectuated to remove any potential adverse influence the use may have on adjoining uses.

            g.  The burden of proof shall remain with the applicant to show compliance with all standards and the burden shall never shift to the Township.

            h.  Applicants shall submit plot plans in sufficient detail to provide the Board and the Planning Commission with enough information to properly evaluate the proposed planned use.

404.3  Upon making a determination that an application for a specific use could only be granted as a conditional use or special exception under the terms of this Ordinance and upon making the further determination that the application for such a use is complete, the Zoning Officer shall forward a copy of said application to the Planning Commission and to the Board of Supervisors.  In the event that the Zoning Officer determines that the application for a use is incomplete he may return it to the applicant together with a narrative indicating the basis for rejection or he may, in his discretion, refer the application to the Planning Commission to review.  The Commission shall, within thirty (30) days following its next regular meeting, make a review thereof and forward recommendations, if any, to the Board of Supervisors or Zoning Hearing Board as applicable. The Board shall promptly schedule a public hearing to receive public comment on the application and, after the completion of said hearing or hearings or adjournments thereof, render a decision to grant or deny the application. If the application is granted, the Board will direct the Zoning Officer to issue a permit in accordance with its decision. In approving an application, the Board may attach such reasonable conditions to the approval as they may deem necessary.  The Board may, in their discretion, direct the Zoning Officer to issue a permit for a limited period of time which permit shall be subject to a renewal procedure at which time the Board will have the discretion to deny the renewal, grant the renewal or order the implementation of additional conditions that the Board may deem necessary and appropriate.  If the application is denied, the applicant shall be notified within five (5) days of the decision and the reasons for the action.
