The Board of Commissioners or, except as to Subsections C, D
and E of this section, the Planning Commission, if designated, shall
have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and render final adjudications
in the following matters:
A. All applications for approvals of planned residential developments
under this chapter and pursuant to the provisions of Section 702 of
the Municipalities Planning Code.
B. All applications pursuant to Section 508 of the Municipalities Planning
Code for approval of subdivisions or land developments under Article
V of the Municipalities Planning Code. Any provision in a subdivision and land development ordinance requiring that final action concerning subdivision and land development applications be taken by the Planning Commission rather than the Board of Commissioners shall vest exclusive jurisdiction in the Planning Commission in lieu of the Board of Commissioners for purposes of the provisions of this subsection.
C. Applications for conditional use under the express provisions of
this Zoning Chapter pursuant to Section 603(c)(2) of the Municipalities
Planning Code.
D. Applications for curative amendment to this Zoning Chapter pursuant
to Sections 609.1 and 916.1(a)(2) of the Municipalities Planning Code.
E. All petitions for amendments to land use ordinances pursuant to the
procedures set forth in Section 609 of the Municipalities Planning
Code. Any action on such petitions shall be deemed legislative
acts, provided that nothing contained in this subsection shall be
deemed to enlarge or diminish existing law with reference to appeals
to court.
F. Appeals from the determination of the Zoning Officer or the Municipal Engineer in the administration of any land use ordinance or provisions thereof with reference to sedimentation and erosion control and stormwater management insofar as the same relate to application for land development under Articles
V and
VII of the Municipalities Planning Code. Where such determination relates only to development not involving Article
V or
VII of the Municipalities Planning Code application, the appeal from such determination of the Zoning Officer or the Municipal Engineer shall be to the Zoning Hearing Board pursuant to subdivision (a)(9) of Section 909.1 of the Municipalities Planning Code. Where the applicable land use ordinance vests jurisdiction
for final administration of subdivision and land development applications
in the Planning Commission, all appeals from determinations under
this subsection shall be to the Planning Commission and all appeals
from the decision of the Planning Commission shall be to court.
G. Applications for a special encroachment permit pursuant to Section
405 of the Municipalities Planning Code and applications for a permit
pursuant to Section 406 under the Municipalities Planning Code.
The Board of Commissioners may amend this chapter as hereinafter
provided.
