Commission seeks alignment between SALDO and zoning on 7‑acre dwelling-rights

Codorus Township Planning Commission · December 9, 2025

Summary

Staff reported confusion about whether a 7-acre parcel carries one or two dwelling rights; the commission asked staff to reconcile SALDO procedures and zoning density rules to prevent inconsistent interpretations of the 7-to-20-acre bracket.

Staff raised a recurring issue about interpreting dwelling rights for parcels in the 7-to-20-acre bracket, asking whether 7 acres yields one or two dwelling rights. Minutes stress that the SALDO governs subdivision procedure while the Zoning Ordinance determines density and parcel-size entitlements; staff said they would work to align the documents to avoid inconsistent or abusive interpretations.

No formal change to the Zoning Ordinance was recorded; the item was characterized as a staff alignment task to reduce confusion between procedural and zoning rules ahead of the SALDO adoption timeline.
