Prior to the adoption of any survey of existing or proposed public streets, watercourses or public grounds as the Official Map or part thereof, or any amendments to the Official Map, the College Township Council shall refer such surveys and amendments to the College Township Planning Commission, the Centre Regional Planning Commission and the Centre County Planning Commission for review. The Commissions shall report their recommendations on said proposed Official Map, part thereof or amendment thereto within 45 days unless an extension of time shall be agreed to by the College Township Council. If, however, the Planning Commission(s) fails to act within 45 days, College Township Council may proceed without its recommendations. Centre County and adjacent municipalities may offer comments and recommendations during said forty-five-day review period. Local authorities, park boards, environmental boards and similar public bodies may also offer comments and recommendations to College Township Council or Planning Commission if requested by same during the said forty-five-day review period. Before voting on the enactment of the proposed Official Map, part thereof or amendment thereto, the College Township Council shall hold a public hearing thereon after giving public notice of such hearing.
Following adoption of the chapter and Official Map, or part thereof or amendment thereto, a copy of same, verified by the College Township Council, shall be submitted to the Recorder of Deeds of Centre County and shall be recorded within 30 days of the effective date. The fee for recording and indexing ordinances and amendments shall be paid by College Township and shall be in the amount prescribed by law for the recording of ordinances by the Recorder of Deeds.
After adoption of the Official Map or part thereof, all streets, watercourses and public grounds on final recorded subdivision and land development plans which have been duly approved by the College Township Council shall be deemed amendments to the Official Map. Notwithstanding any other terms of this chapter, no public hearing need be held or notice given if the amendment of the Official Map is the result of the addition of a plan which has been duly approved by the College Township Council.
