It is the master plan of the municipality which guides its development policies and serves as a long range planning I tool for the Township. The Comprehensive Plan should serve as the guide for the Township's Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance, and Official Map. I The Comprehensive Plan is provided for by law in the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code. This law, as amended in 1988, states that a Comprehensive Plan must contain the following basic elements: I a statement of community objectives, including the location, character and timing of future development; a plan for land use; a housing plan; a circulation plan; a community facilities plan; a statement of the interrelationships among the various plan components; a discussion of short- and long-range plan implementation strategies; and a statement indicating the relationship of existing and proposed development to those in adjacent municipalities and the county, and to regional trends. This Plan goes beyond these requirements by dealing with environmental resources, historic resources, agriculture, and the commercial and industrial areas. This Comprehensive Plan has three parts: this volume, and companion volumes dealing specifically with the Park and Recreation Plan and a Natural Resource Inventory. Because of the scope of the Park and Recreation Plan and the Natural Resource Inventory, they are being presented as separate documents; but should be considered as part of the Township Comprehensive Plan. Northampton has had a comprehensive planning program since the early 1960's. The first plan was prepared in 1963 and revised in 1976. A second comprehensive plan was initiated in the mid 1980's; with a first volume being adopted in 1989 and a second volume (Natural Resource Inventory) in 1991. This 1998 Comprehensive Plan represents an update of the 1989 Plan (Volume 1). This Plan Update was prepared by the Northampton Township Planning Commission with assistance from the Township Planner. All workshops sessions were open to the public so that the concerns and desires of residents could be heard and incorporated into the planning process. This document is being submitted to the Northampton Township Board of Supervisors for their consideration as a supplement to the 1989 Comprehensive Plan (Volume 1). Revisions may be made as the result of further discussion by Township residents and public officials. It is hoped that this Comprehensive Plan Update can be adopted by the Board of Supervisors and that, as the policy document guiding development, it will be an effective tool in shaping the future character of Northampton Township. 1999 Update December 1999 I 1 GoALsANDoBJEcTIvEs The Comprehensive Plan contains recommendations for specific programs and policies. which will be used to guide the development of Northampton Township. These recommendations reflect the ideas I and needs of the Township residents and elected officials as well as the obligations of townships in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I It is the intent of the Township that the various components of the Comprehensive Plan relate to one another; and, in that regard, the goals and objectives stated hereinbelow and the various recommendations contained in Part I1 of the Comprehensive Plan should be viewed as being I interrelated. The following statement of goals and objectives was used to develop policies to guide future I development in the Township: 1 General Goal The goal of the Comprehensive Plan Update is to preserve the community's mix of: I residential areas public facilities I private and commercial activities serving Township residents I visual amenities, and natural resources 1 while accommodating in a planned manner the pressures of suburban development. I Land Use Goals Discourage development in environmentally sensitive areas such as steep slopes, flood-prone 1 areas, wetlands and woodlands. Preserve the land along the Neshaminy and the Little Neshaminy Creeks as a green belt. I Provide for and protect large areas of open space in the areas north and west of Hatboro Road and encourage low density development, open space, agricultural and/or recreational uses. Use site planning techniques that reduce environmental impacts and preserve and enhance 1 elements of the landscape, and require the proper administrative system to manage and maintain open lands. I Plan for future land uses which are compatible with the Township's existing land uses and with those in adjacent municipalities. I Coordinate the extension of public water and sewerage with the land use policies of the Comprehensive Plan. I Goals and Objectives 1 I 1999 Update December 1999 I Housing I Provide for a variety of housing types and densities, keeping in mind the housing needs of all income and age groups. I Historic Preservation I Identify historically important structures and archeologic sites and investigate methods available to the Township to help preserve them. I Commerce I Provide for small commercial areas which are conveniently located and which serve the day-to- day shopping needs of nearby residents. Maintain the scale, boundaries, and locations of existing commercial areas. I Allow for a mix of retail, service, and office uses in commercial areas. Maintain design controls which will enhance the appearance of commercial areas. I Communitv Facilities I Plan for the expansion of community facilities, including parks and recreation, to meet the needs of the future Township population. I Provide for storm

  • Understanding Lower Neshaminy Creek Direction Change and Barbed Tributary Evidence, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
    Journal of Geography and Earth Sciences June 2017, Vol. 5, No. 2, pp. 9-18 ISSN 2334-2447 (Print) 2334-2455 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jges.v5n2a2 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jges.v5n2a2 Understanding Lower Neshaminy Creek Direction Change and Barbed Tributary Evidence, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA Eric Clausen1 Abstract Neshaminy Creek is located in southeast Pennsylvania (USA) and flows in a southeast direction through a series of incised meanders roughly parallel to the nearby southeast-oriented Delaware River before turning to flow in southwest, south, northeast, and south directions before reaching the Delaware River, which has also abruptly turned to become a southwest-oriented river. Throughout their parallel southeast-oriented courses northeast-oriented barbed tributaries join both the Delaware River and Neshaminy Creek and shallow northeast- to southwest-oriented through valleys cross the Delaware River-Neshaminy Creek drainage divide. These drainage features formed when massive southwest-oriented floods of possible glacial melt water origin flowed across southeast Pennsylvania. The deep southwest-oriented Delaware River channel segment first eroded headward along what was probably a major southwest-oriented flood flow channel and the southeast- oriented Neshaminy Creek valley then eroded headward from it to capture southwest-oriented flood flow with the southeast-oriented Delaware River valley segment next eroding headward across the same southwest-oriented flood flow. Northeast-oriented (and barbed) Neshaminy Creek and Delaware River tributaries and the northeast-oriented Neshaminy Creek channel segment were developed by reversals of flow on northeast ends of beheaded southwest-oriented flood flow channels.
