[Ord. 5-2015, 12/3/2015]
The Legislature of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has, by
the passage of the Pennsylvania Flood Plain Management Act of 1978, delegated the responsibility to local governmental units
to adopt floodplain management regulations to promote public health,
safety, and the general welfare of its citizenry. Therefore, the Board
of Supervisors of Hopewell Township does hereby order as follows.
[Ord. 5-2015, 12/3/2015]
This chapter supersedes any other conflicting provisions which
may be in effect in identified floodplain areas. However, any other
ordinance provisions shall remain in full force and effect to the
extent that those provisions are more restrictive. If there is any
conflict between any of the provisions of this chapter, the more restrictive
shall apply.
[Ord. 5-2015, 12/3/2015]
The provisions of this chapter are intended to be severable,
such that if any provision hereof shall be deemed to be unconstitutional
or otherwise unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the
other provisions hereof.
