Impact fees under Act 209 may only be used for those costs incurred for improvements designated in the adopted transportation capital improvements plan of the municipality that are attributable to new development. ; it neither applies to, nor restricts the procedures or powers of the municipality to require on-site transportation improvements to remedy impacts of new development.

  Zoning Appeal Process
  The Zoning Hearing Board consists of five members who hear all zoning appeals. In the event one Board member cannot attend the meeting and the Board is composed of four (4) members, the applicant will be given the option of having their appeal heard with the four (4)-member board or request a continuance of the appeal to a date at which a full board can be convened. If the applicant(s) requests a continuance, the request will be granted provided the applicant(s) agrees in writing to waive the provision under the Municipal Planning Code (MPC) requiring that a hearing be held within 60 days of the date of the applicant's request for a hearing. If the applicant(s) elects to proceed with a four-member board and the Board's vote is split (i.e. two members voting for and two members against), the appeal is deemed to be denied.

If any appeal is not concluded by the adjournment time, usually 10:00 p.m., the Zoning Hearing Board may either complete the appeal or continue the appeal to a date that is publicly announced before adjournment. If the Zoning Hearing Board is unable to select a date for any continued hearing at the time of the public meeting, the date for the rescheduled continued hearing should be advertised pursuant to the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and the MPC.

The Zoning Hearing Board is permitted fourty-five (45) days to render a written decision following the last hearing at which testimony was given or oral arguments were made or legal memos or briefs filed, whichever is last to occur. A signed copy of the written decision along with be sent to the applicant not later than the day following its date.

Applicant(s) shall have a right of appeal to the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County within thirty (30) days after the entry of the decision as provided in 42 PA. C.S. 5572, or, in case of a deemed decision, within 30 days after the date upon which notice of said deemed decision is given as set forth in Section 908(9) of the MPC.
