Planning commission to review possible smoke‑shop ordinance changes; council seeks greater commission involvement
Summary
Councilmembers asked the planning commission to review potential zoning and ordinance changes to strengthen smoke‑shop regulation; staff set a late‑February meeting and encouraged commission involvement before any council action.
Clifton Heights Borough Council discussed starting the ordinance review process for additional regulation of smoke‑shop businesses and asked the planning commission to take the first look at zoning and ordinance language.
Council President (Susan) asked the planning commission to become more involved in forming potential ordinance changes. The borough manager said attorney and staff work had produced material for the planning commission and that a planning committee meeting would be scheduled to review potential ordinance language first, then the county planning commission would review the drafts before any council consideration.
During the discussion staff referenced the borough calendar listing the planning commission on the third Wednesday at 7 p.m.; the transcript also contains a later reference to February 27, creating an ambiguity in the exact date mentioned. No ordinance was adopted at the meeting; the item was framed as the planning commission’s initial review step.
