401.1. Within the (A) Zone, the adaptive reuse of existing agricultural buildings is permitted by special exception, subject to the following criteria: 401.2. The purpose of this section is to provide for an expanded list of uses permitted within agricultural buildings that existed on the effective date of this Ordinance. The applicant must demonstrate that such agricultural building existed on such date. 401.3. Any use proposed under this section must be permitted within the Township, but not be permitted by right, special exception or conditional use, within the Agricultural Zone. The addition of new dwelling units is prohibited. 401.4. Any number of uses may be permitted under this section, provided that the Zoning Hearing Board finds that such multiple uses are designed and developed to function in a coordinated fashion, and that the uses are not inherently incompatible by reason of impact. 401.5. Any use proposed under this section that has specific criteria applied to it within other non-Agricultural Zones, and listed in Article 4 of this Ordinance, shall comply with such other specific criteria, unless the Zoning Hearing Board finds that such other specific criteria are not necessary because: 1. the specific criteria provide a level of protection that exceeds that necessary to protect the rural nature of the site and its surroundings, and/or 2. the specific criteria provide a level of protection that exceeds that necessary to protect adjoining properties because of man-made and/or natural conditions upon the site. 401.6. The applicant shall furnish evidence of an approved means of water supply and sewage disposal to serve all proposed uses. 401.7. The applicant shall obtain any necessary land development approvals. 401.8. The applicant must provide for sufficient off-street parking spaces and off-street loading spaces for all of those uses proposed. All off-street parking and/or loading areas shall be screened from adjoining residences and off-street loading areas shall be screened from adjoining roads. 401.9. The Zoning Hearing Board will approve the proposed use(s) only upon finding that the site and buildings provide for a logical location for such use(s) that: 1. can be effectively accommodated without adverse impact to adjoining uses, and, 2. will not introduce uses that would be adversely impacted by other uses, activities or operations contained either on, or adjoining, the site.
