Planning & Zoning

Planning Commission

 Our Planning Commission acts as an advisory group to Borough Council on issues and policies related to zoning, land development, and subdivisions. 

Some common issues brought before the Planning Commission include new construction,  zoning variance requests,  and subdivisions.

In these circumstances, before a Land Use or Building Permit can be issued, plans must be reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by Borough Council. See Codes & Permits.

Community Engagement Survey

A Community Survey. Please respond by March 31.
