The Borough Council may, from time to time, on its own motion or on petition or recommendation of the Planning Commission, amend, supplement, or repeal any of the regulations and provisions of this chapter after public notice and hearing. Before the public hearing, each proposed amendment, except those coming from the Borough Planning Commission, must be referred to the Borough Planning Commission for its recommendations at least 30 days prior to the hearing on such amendment. If, after any public hearing held upon an amendment, the proposed amendment is revised or further revised to include land previously not affected by it, the Borough Council shall hold another public hearing, pursuant to public notice, before proceeding to vote on the amendment. At least 30 days prior to the hearing on the ordinance or amendments by the local governing body, the Borough Planning Commission shall submit the proposed ordinance or amendments to the Perry County Planning Commission for recommendations.
Public notice. For Zoning Map amendments, notice of the public hearing shall also be conspicuously posted by the Borough at points deemed sufficient by the Borough along the tract to notify potentially interested citizens. The effected tract or area shall be posted at least one week prior to the date of the hearing (Act 38 of 1994).
The procedure upon curative amendments shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, Act 247, as amended, Section 609.1 and Section 609.2.
Public notices of proposed zoning ordinances and amendments shall include either the full text thereof or a brief summary setting forth the principal provisions in reasonable detail and a reference to a place within the Borough where copies of the proposed ordinance or amendment may be examined, in addition to the time and place of hearing.
After enactment, if the advertisement of a zoning ordinance or amendment is required by other laws respecting the advertisement of ordinances, such advertisement may consist solely of a reference to the place or places within the municipality where copies of such ordinance or amendment shall be obtainable for a charge not greater than the cost thereof and available for examination without charge. Zoning ordinances and amendments may be incorporated into official ordinance books by reference with the same force and effect as if duly recorded therein.
