The Board of Supervisors may from time to time amend this chapter,
including the Zoning Map.
Before voting on the enactment of any amendment, the Board of
Supervisors shall hold a public hearing. "Public notice" as used in
this section shall mean notice given not more than 30 days and not
less than seven days in advance of the said hearing. Such notice shall
be published once each week for two successive weeks in a newspaper
of general circulation in the Township. Such notice shall include
the full text of the amendment and shall state the time and place
of the hearing. If, after any public hearing held upon an amendment,
the proposed amendment is revised to include land previously not affected
by it, the Board of Supervisors shall hold another public hearing,
pursuant to public notice, before proceeding to vote on the amendment.
In case of an amendment, the Board of Supervisors shall submit
each such amendment to the Township Planning Commission and to the
Delaware County Planning Commission at least 30 days prior to the
hearing in order to provide the Planning Commission an opportunity
to submit recommendations.
In case any building, structure, or land is or is proposed to
be erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, converted, maintained,
or used in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, the
Board of Supervisors or, with the approval of the Board, an officer
of the Township, in addition to other remedies, may institute in the
name of the Township any appropriate action or proceedings to prevent,
restrain, correct or abate such building, structure or land, or to
prevent, in or about such premises, any act, conduct, business or
use constituting a violation.
Whenever a violation of this chapter occurs, any person may
file a written complaint with the Zoning Officer in regard thereto.
The Zoning Officer shall promptly investigate all complaints and make
report thereon to the Board of Supervisors.
