Abington Zoning Code being Reviewed

The Abington Township Zoning Code is being reviewed by a group of citizens, commissioners, Montgomery County Planning staff and Abington Township staff.  The entire code is being looked at to see where there a inconsistencies and loop holes that have been used in the past where certain development projects have been a concern to residents.  There have been some new zoning districts looked at such as Transitional Zoning where a residential neighborhood meets a commercial area.  This can be seen more on the Old York Corridor than any where else. 

In McKinley, it appears that the zoning is correct and any change would be first discussed in a local meeting then it would have to be eventually voted on by the Board of Commissioners. 

There has been some concern brought to my attention that the commissioners are changing this on their own without input from anyone.  This is NOT true, any change has to be in an open meeting for resident discussion.  I am one of the commissioners on the review board, my previous years on the Abington Zoning Board for which I was the Charmian my last year will bring the needed input for our community.  If you have any questions you can always call me.

One of our goals is to look at the Planned Business District.  A survey for public input is available to get a concensus of what the community may be interested in see happen.  Please visit the link below to input your valued opinion.
