Zoning Hearing Board

The Zoning Hearing Board is a quasi-judicial board appointed by Borough Council for the purpose of hearing and determining appeals on the validity of zoning regulations, or any decision made by the zoning officer, deciding on exceptions to the regulations, and authorizing variances or special exceptions from the terms of the zoning ordinance.

The Board consists of five members who are residents of the Borough. These members are appointed by Council for five-year staggered terms. Legal notice of the proposed meetings must be given in the local newspaper. Copies must also be sent to the applicant, as well as neighbors of the applicant, and a notice must be posted on the site. Parties have the right to representation by an attorney, and all concerned citizens are invited to be heard at the meeting.

All meetings are posted on the Borough calendar.
