Act of 1968, P.L.805, No.247, Section 202. Planning Commission. If the governing body of any municipality shall elect to create a planning commission, such commission shall have not less than three nor more than nine members.
The Planning Commission consists of five residents of the township and one alternate and are appointed by the Supervisors for a term of four years. The terms are staggered so that there are always experienced members on the commission. The Commission serves as an advisory board that makes recommendations to the Supervisors, Zoning Hearing Board, and to the Zoning Officer. The Commission also reviews all major and minor subdivisions, land development plans and any new zoning changes such as variances or home occupations. The members of the Commission also meet with the Supervisors from time to time to work on new zoning changes and ordinances.
