Rezoning can be initiated to protect the safety, capacity and
efficiency of the Borough's existing infrastructure systems; to maintain
fiscal responsibility; and to uphold the objectives of the Borough's
Comprehensive Plan. See also the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning
Code § 609.
Rezoning applications are completed on the official forms provided by the Zoning Officer. All applicants submitting rezoning applications are required to prepare a series of plans, analyses and reports as enumerated in §
312-38 to demonstrate the compatibility of a rezoning proposal.
Plans and reports that a landowner and/or developer submits
include:
B. Estimated infrastructure (sanitary sewer and potable water) demands
(gallons per day).
C. Off-street parking projections (number of parking spaces) available
on site.
D. A summary of anticipated impacts on adjoining lots including but
not limited to noise, vibration, nighttime lighting, service area
locations and visibility, hours of operation.
E. Depending upon the location of lot access, infrastructure service/demands and impacts identified in Subsection
D on adjoining lots, the Borough Council may require a landowner and/or developer to prepare other potential related studies. The Borough 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.
