Pursuant to the Borough Code of 1927, § 1145, and for the purpose of carrying said section into effect
there is hereby created in the Borough of Lemoyne a Department of
Planning which shall be in charge of a Borough Planning Commission,
which shall be appointed and shall have all the powers and duties
conferred upon it by the Borough Code of 1927, §§ 1145
to 1150 inclusive, and any other powers vested by law or proper Borough
ordinance.
The Borough Planning Commission shall have access to the maps,
files and other papers of the Borough, and if Council by motion, so
decides, may keep on file all maps, plans and other pertinent material.
Within the limitations prescribed and appropriations provided for
the purpose, Council may, on motion, authorize changes and additions
to be made to the maps and plans. The Commission may recommend such
changes and additions as it may deem proper, but such recommendations
shall not restrict the right of Council to initiate proceedings for
the laying out and changing of highways and public places in the Borough.
The Borough Planning Commission shall also serve as the Zoning Commission.
It shall be known as the Lemoyne Borough Planning and Zoning Commission
and it shall be considered as one commission and not as two separate
commissions.
The Borough Planning and Zoning Commission shall further have
all the powers and duties as conferred upon a Zoning Commission by
the Pennsylvania Borough Code.
The Borough Planning and Zoning Commission shall consist of
five citizens of the Borough of Lemoyne. The Borough Planning and
Zoning Commission shall recommend to the Borough Council the boundaries
of the various classifications of zoned areas within the Borough,
and any changes thereto and any appropriate regulation to be referred
therein; said Commission shall hold a public hearing on changes of
boundaries of the various classifications and regulations to be referred
therein and shall make reports and recommendations to the Borough
Council.
