[Ord. 1112, 1/19/2010]
There are two categories of rezoning applications: minor and
major. Minor and major rezoning applications are differentiated based
on the size of the area to be rezoned and the anticipated fiscal,
physical, environmental and social impacts on the municipality(ies).
A. Minor applications. Minor rezoning applications are expected to have
a lesser impact on the traffic, fiscal resources and existing physical
and environmental character of the community. The following situations
constitute eligibility for the minor application:
(1)
The rezoning of a nonresidential parcel, or contiguous parcel(s),
that totals one acre or less.
(2)
The rezoning of an existing residential parcel, or contiguous
parcel(s), that totals one acres or less.
B. Major applications. Any rezoning project that does not meet the criteria in §
27-1204A is a major application.
C. Application requirements. The following section outlines the plans,
analyses and reports that a landowner and/or developer shall submit
as part of minor or major rezoning applications.
The plans, analyses and reports to be submitted include:
B. Estimated infrastructure demands (gallons per day).
C. Off-street parking projections (number of spaces).
D. A summary of anticipated impacts on adjoining lots, including but
not limited to noise, vibration, nighttime lighting, service area
locations and visibility, and hours of operation.
E. Depending upon the location of lot access, infrastructure service/demands and impacts identified in §
27-1205D on adjoining lots, the Borough Council may require a landowner and/or developer to prepare other potential related studies.
[Ord. 1112, 1/19/2010]
The Planning Commission and the Borough Council reserve the
right to request additional information as part of the rezoning review
and approval process in order to evaluate the applicability of the
rezoning.
