Peters Township OKs ordinance amending zoning code
Peters Township council voted unanimously to adopt an ordinance that simplifies subdividing properties.
Council held a public hearing on the ordinance at the start of its meeting Monday evening.
Township Manager Paul Lauer said the ordinance amends the township zoning code to no longer require property owners to appear before the zoning board when combining adjacent pieces of property or subdividing a larger property.
“You can now do that administratively. You don’t have to go through the entire procedure,” Lauer said.
According to Lauer, the ordinance also included clarifying language for how the township grants extensions to developers, and what specific documentation is required with applications.
