Planning and Zoning
Subdivision and Land Development
The Township Subdivision and Land Development Chapter (Chapter 22) provides for Township review of proposed subdivision and land development projects, as provided for in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Municipalities Planning Code (MPC). The Township Planning Commission conducts a thorough review of proposed projects with the assistance of the Township Solicitor, Engineer, Planner, and Zoning Officer. The Planning Commission then recommends or rejects the proposed plan for consideration of approval by the Board of Supervisors. The review process generally consists of three stages: sketch plan, preliminary plan, and final plan. Proposed subdivision and land development plans must receive both preliminary plan and final plan approvals. If you have Subdivision and Land Development questions, please contact the Township Engineer at 484-866-9669.
