The governing body shall have the power to adopt and amend the Comprehensive
Plan as a whole or in parts. Before adopting or amending a Comprehensive Plan
or any part thereof, there shall be at least one public hearing pursuant to
public notice. The adoption of the Comprehensive Plan or any part thereof
or any amendment thereto shall be by resolution carried by the affirmative
votes of not less than a majority of all the members of the governing body.
The resolution shall refer expressly to the maps, charts, textual matter and
other matters intended to form the whole or part of the plan, and the action
shall be recorded on the adopted plan or part.
Following the adoption of a Comprehensive Plan or any part thereof by
Hempfield Township or Westmoreland County's governing body pursuant to
public notice, any proposed action of the governing body of any school district
located within Hempfield Township or Westmoreland County relating to the location,
demolition, removal or sale of any school district structure or land shall
be submitted to Hempfield Township's or Westmoreland County's planning
agency for its recommendations. The recommendations of the planning agency
shall be made in writing to the governing body of the school district within
30 days.
Since Hempfield Township is located in Westmoreland County and Hempfield
Township has adopted a Comprehensive Plan, Hempfield Township shall give the
plan of Westmoreland County consideration in order that the objectives of
each plan can be protected to the greatest extent possible.
