[HISTORY: Adopted by the Council of the Borough of Lititz 3-27-2001 by Ord. No. C-433, approved 3-27-2001; amended in its entirety 11-24-2020 by Ord. No. C-584, approved 11-24-2020. Subsequent amendments noted where applicable.]
Article IV of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code[1] ("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.
