Article IV of the Pennsylvania Municipalities
Planning Code ("MPC") authorizes the Borough to prepare and adopt an
Official Map of the Borough showing existing and proposed public streets,
pedestrian ways, public grounds, public parks, playgrounds, open space
reservations, and other public lands and facilities. In accordance
with the MPC, the Borough enacted Ordinance No. C- 497 adopting an
Official Map, which Official Map was recorded in Plan Book J-236,
Page 13, in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds in and for Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania. The Borough, in connection with the implementation
of the Forge the Future 2022 update to the Warwick Region Joint Strategic
Comprehensive Plan, desires to amend and reenact in its entirety the
Official Map adopted by Ord. No. C- 497 to show existing and proposed
public and private roads, existing and proposed trails and greenways,
parks, conservation areas, and urban growth boundaries within the
Borough. The adoption of an updated Official Map will assist landowners
in the determination of the uses and development of their lands within
the Borough. The Borough has solicited reviews of the proposed Official
Map from the Lititz Borough Planning Commission, the Lancaster County
Planning Commission, Warwick Township, and the Warwick Township Planning
Commission. Following the receipt of comments and recommendations
from such bodies, Borough Council held a public hearing in accordance
with the requirements of Article IV of the MPC.
Borough Council of the Borough of Lititz hereby
adopts the map prepared by ELA Group, Inc., updated September 2020
and entitled "Official Map of the Borough of Lititz, Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania," which indicates thereon existing and proposed streets
and highways and existing and proposed trails together with other
public lands and facilities within the Borough, as the Official Map
of the Borough of Lititz. A true and correct copy of the Official
Map is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein.
The proper officials of the Borough are authorized
to take all steps necessary to record the Official Map in the Office
of the Recorder of Deeds of Lancaster County as required by Section
402(c) of the MPC. The proper officials of the Borough are further authorized
to transmit certified copies of the Official Map to those entities
required to be provided with copies by the MPC.
The Borough retains the right to amend the Official
Map adopted by Ord. No. C-584 from time to time by appropriate action
of Borough Council of the Borough of Lititz taken in accordance with
the procedural requirements of the MPC as it may be hereafter amended.
Those persons who own lands within areas shown
on the Official Map as proposed streets or highways, proposed trails
or other proposed public areas shall be subject to the duties and
shall have the rights set forth in Article IV of the MPC.
The Official Map adopted by Ordinance No. C-497
shall continue in force as to any preliminary or final plan which
is pending action by Borough Council at the effective date of this
chapter.
