This Chapter shall be effective as a pending ordinance as of
the earliest date permitted by law.

[Ord. 1944, 11/23/2009]
1.
The community development objectives which are the basis for the
provisions of this Chapter are set forth in the Comprehensive Plan
for Harrison Township as adopted and amended by the Township Commissioners.
2.
It is also a subset of those objectives to preserve and promote an
orderly and peaceful residential environment in the newly designated
Village District by limiting the number of taverns and bars therein,
as the Commissioners have found that:
A.
In the Village environment, an increase in the concentration of alcohol-related
uses contributes to increased underage drinking, violence and crime
and to decreased residential housing improvement and business activity;
and
B.
It is in the public interest and consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan to prevent undue concentration of taverns and bars in the Village
District.
[Ord. 1944, 11/23/2009]
No structure shall be located, erected, constructed, reconstructed,
altered, converted, or enlarged, nor shall any structure or land be
used or be designed to be used, except in full compliance with all
the provisions of this Chapter and after the lawful issuance of all
permits and certificates required by this Chapter.
If any provision of this Chapter or the application of any provision
to particular circumstances is held invalid, the remainder of the
Chapter or the application of such provision to the other circumstances
shall not be affected.
