About the Commission
The Planning Commission is a 7-member board and shall, at the request of the Board of Supervisors, exercise the powers and authorities granted the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code which include but are not limited to making recommendations to the Board concerning the adoption or amendments to the comprehensive plan, official map, zoning ordinance and subdivision and land development ordinance.
Additionally, the Planning Commission's members oversee all development proposals for the township, working in conjunction with the Planning and Zoning Department to determine a project's feasibility, its impacts on the surrounding area and traffic, and its compliance with township codes. They submit their recommendations to the Board of Supervisors.
