1.
In order for any application to be considered by the Planning Commission it must
be submitted to the Township with all required documentation as per the
Township Code and with all applicable fees paid. The Township will use a
checklist to verify all required documentation has been submitted. Until the
application is complete the application will not be considered “filed” by the
Township staff. The Planning Commission will acknowledge receipt of the
application at their next regularly scheduled meeting.
2.
All materials to be considered at the next regular meeting of the Planning
Commission must be submitted with at least eleven (11) copies to the Township
Staff by not later than close of business the previous Tuesday. Any materials
submitted after that time will be held for the following meeting and not provided to
the Commission at the upcoming meeting.
3.
The application review cycle for Subdivision and Land Development Applications
shall begin with the next regular meeting of the Commission after the complete
application is filed. The application review cycle for Conditional Use, Variance,
and Special Exception Applications shall begin the day a complete application is
filed with the Township.
4.
Applicants should not distribute material to the Commission during a meeting
unless it is directly related to the initial presentation of the application. All
materials for the Planning Commission, including any material to be used at a
meeting, must be delivered to the Township Staff not later than close of business
the previous Tuesday.
5.
The burden of supplying necessary materials to the Planning Commission in a
timely manner is on the applicant. Late delivery of material may require an
extension on the part of the applicant or a recommendation for denial of the
application by the Planning Commission.
6.
Formal application presentations to the Planning Commission will only be made
at the regular meeting after the complete application is submitted and accepted
by the Township staff.

as the Commission has made its recommendation to the Board of Supervisors
and or Zoning Hearing Board.

Applicants are encouraged to attend each Planning Commission meeting in order
to answer questions or address issues concerning their application.
