A conditional use is a use that may be suitable in certain locations within a zoning district when prescribed conditions are met. Conditional uses are applied to:
- Adult businesses
- Elderly housing developments
- Motor-vehicle-oriented businesses
- Public service facilities
Permission for a conditional use involves the:
- Borough Council
- Borough Engineer
- Design Review Board
- Planning Commission
- Planning Department
- And perhaps the Historic Resources Commission
Approval of a conditional use permit could take four months or longer, depending on the number of revisions necessary to make the plan acceptable. Anyone interested in submitting an application for a conditional use should contact the Planning Department at 814-234-7109 to schedule a pre-submission conference to review plan requirements and procedures.
