Comprehensive
Plan Update
The Report was adopted July 8th, 2003 by Resolution 2003-14.
The purpose of this plan is to update the Township’s 1992
Comprehensive Plan. The plan will identify community goals and objectives,
analysis of trends, a vision for future development and implementation
strategies. The Sustainable Community Plan (SCP) will be the Township’s
blueprint for successful planning, development and maintenance of
the physical environment, community assets and public services as
well as provide an update of the land use and transportation elements
of the 1992 Comprehensive Plan. The plan will provide “best
management practices”, tools and techniques to manage growth.
This planning analysis is based upon a planning horizon of 2025
with interim projections provided for 2012.

this study will be used in other studies such as the Roadway Sufficiency
Analysis and for a Capital Improvement Program, all of which are
part the Transportation Capital Improvements Plan.
The Land Use Asumption Report was adopted by resolution 2011-14

Introduction
The MA and PA Community Greenway Feasibility Study explores the
potential of converting approximately 12.4 miles of the former Maryland
& Pennsylvania railroad corridor into a recreational trail in
seven York County communities. The MA and PA Community Greenway
study corridor runs north to south from Mount Rose Avenue in Spring
Garden Township to the northern boundary of Felton Borough. The
corridor passes through Spring Garden, York, Windsor and Chanceford
Townships and the Boroughs of Yoe, Red Lion, and Dallastown. The
MA & PA Railroad was a narrow gauge line stretching 77.2 miles
from York, Pennsylvania at the northern end to Baltimore, Maryland
at the southern end. The railroad tracks in the study area were
dismantled between 1986 and 1987.
This study explored the feasibility of converting the former abandoned
railroad corridor into a recreation trail. Recent initiatives to
develop two recreation trail segments (the Red Lion Mile and Mill
Creek Preserve) along the corridor have been successful, and the
study explored the legal, physical, and operational feasibility
of extending the trail for the full 12.4 mile length.
The Ordinance was adopted August 9. 2011. The Official Map was
ammended August 13, 2012. The York Township Official Map Ordinances,

Introduction
The York Township Comprehensive Recreation, Parks & Greenways
Plan creates a vision for the future, not merely a tune-up for what
exists today. It defines the Township’s action plan for parks,
greenways, trails, and recreation in the 21st century. By developing
a strategic approach, York Township is establishing an orderly framework
for growing its parks and recreation system in a strategic fashion.
Limited resources, a growing population, and increasing demands
on parks and recreation combine to show that
a broad timeframe for plan implementation is essential. Commitment,
time, and investment from public and private partners are essential
in order to achieve the kind of community people want York Township
to be.
Plan Purpose and Goals
The purpose of the plan was to develop a document that guides park
and recreation activities in York Township with the recognition
that parks and open space add to the quality of life of a municipality
and attracts residents, businesses, and economic vitality to a community.
The plan should provide direction and initiatives on protecting
open space, creating connections through greenways and trails and
improving recreation and parks.

Roadway
Suffiency Analysis Report and Capital Improvement Plan
The Reports are dated June 22, 2012.
The purpose of the Roadway Sufficiency Analysis is to determine
the improvements that would be required to obtain a preferred level
of service for intersections and roadways in the transportation
service area of the township for existing conditions, projected
conditions prior to land development, and projected conditions after
land development.
The improvements identified in the Roadway Sufficiency Analysis
report are carried forward to a Capital Improvements Plan in order
to identify estimated project costs, schedule for completion, and
potential funding sources. In addition, the Capital Improvements
Plan establishes the amount of the impact fee on a per peak hour
trip basis to be adopted in the impact fee ordinance.
The Roadway Sufficiency Analysis and Capital Improvements Plan
report were adopted by resolution 2012-13 on July 10, 2012. Ordinance
2012-6 amending Ordinance 2002-18 establishing and imposing a Traffic
Impact Fee was adopted on July 10, 2012. The resolution and Ordinance
