The Township Supervisors may from time to time amend this chapter,
including the Zoning Map.
Before voting on the enactment of any amendment, the Supervisors
shall hold a public hearing thereon pursuant to public notice. "Public
notice," as used in this section, shall mean that the first publication
shall be not more than 30 days and not less than seven days in advance
of the hearing. Such notice shall be published once each for two successive
weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the Township. Such
notice shall state the time and place of the hearing and the particular
nature of the matter to be considered at the hearing. If, after any
public hearing held upon an amendment, the proposed amendment is revised
or further revised to include land previously not affected by it,
the Supervisors shall hold another public hearing pursuant to public
notice before proceeding to vote on the amendment.
A landowner who desires to challenge on substantive grounds the validity of this chapter or any part hereof that prohibits the use or development of land in which he has an interest may submit a curative amendment to the Township Supervisors with a written request for hearing. The Township Supervisors shall commence a hearing thereon within 60 days of the submission of a properly completed request, following procedures outlined in Article
VI, Section 609.1 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, as amended.
In the case of an amendment other than one prepared by the Planning
Commission, the Township Supervisors shall submit each such amendment
to the Township Planning Commission and the Bucks County Planning
Commission at least 30 days prior to the hearing in order to provide
the Planning Commissions an opportunity to submit recommendations.
In case any building, structure or land is, or is proposed to
be, erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, converted, maintained
or used in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, the
Supervisors, or an officer of the Township with the approval of the
Supervisors, in addition to other remedies, may institute in the name
of the Township appropriate action or proceedings to prevent, restrain,
correct or abate such building, structure or land, or to prevent in
or about such premises any act, conduct, business or use constituting
a violation.
