Whenever the public necessity, convenience, or general welfare
indicate, the Council of the Borough of Mars may, by ordinance in
accordance with the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, amend, supplement,
or change the regulations, restrictions, boundaries or classifications
of buildings, structures, and land, as the same are established by
this chapter or may hereafter be made part thereof.
Applications or petitions for any change or amendments to existing
zoning districts in the Borough of Mars shall be made to the office
of the said Council. Said applications or petitions shall include
plans, maps and other data which is deemed necessary by the Borough
Council and Planning Commission for consideration of the proposed
action.
A.
The Borough Council may, from time to time, on its own motion or
petition, after public notice and hearing, amend the regulations and
districts herein established, but no amendment shall become effective
unless the same shall have first been submitted to the Planning Commission
for approval, and said Commission shall have allowed a reasonable
time for consideration and report, and no such amendment which shall
have been disapproved by said Commission shall take effect unless
subsequently passed by a two-thirds vote of the Borough Council.
B.
No amendment of this chapter shall apply to offset any application
for approval of a preliminary plat, a final plat or a construction
permit of any final land development or subdivision plat which has
been previously approved by Council, provided that such land development
or subdivision complies with the provisions of this chapter at the
time of such approval.
