Comprehensive Re-Write of the Zoning Ordinance and Map

The Penn Township Planning Commission, at the commissioners' request, have embarked upon a comprehensive re-write of the zoning and subdivision ordinance and the creation of a new zoning map -- a project anticipated to take about 2 years to complete. The Zoning Committee had it first meeting on Wednesday, September 30, 2009. In an attempt to have public involvement with the re-write process, the notes will be posted here. The committee plans on meeting on the last Wednesday of each month; the schedule may change around the holidays.
