Evaluation of Market Area Study and Neighborhood Impact Analysis
The market area study and neighborhood impact analysis required in § 300-506A(5) shall be evaluated to determine the appropriateness of the site in question to accommodate the magnitude of commercial development proposed, as well as the impact of the proposed development on the community facilities and services of Upper Providence Township. The following alternative findings shall result from the evaluation process:
 
A. Evaluations which lead to an overall negative assessment for a proposed development shall lead to a denial by the Board.

B. Evaluations which lead to an overall negative assessment for a proposed development may lead to a conditional approval by the Board, either when the developer agrees to undertake activities or improvements which will compensate or correct deficiencies or negative impacts caused by the implementation of the proposed development or when the developer agrees to implement the proposed development at a reduced square footage of gross leasable area, as specified by the Board.

C. Evaluations which lead to an overall positive or neutral assessment for a proposed development shall lead to an approval by the Board.
