Conewago supervisors adopt warehouse zoning changes and county hazard mitigation plan
Summary
The board unanimously adopted Ordinance 2025-002 amending warehouse rules in the zoning ordinance and adopted Resolution 2025-002 to municipally adopt the Dauphin County Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Conewago Township’s Board of Supervisors on July 7 voted unanimously to adopt two items affecting land use and emergency planning: Ordinance 2025-002, an amendment to the township zoning ordinance concerning warehouses, and Resolution 2025-002, formally adopting the Dauphin County Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Chair Mimi Legro moved and Supervisor Frank Graybill seconded the ordinance motion; the minutes record the motion carried with all members in favor. On the hazard mitigation plan, Legro moved, Vice-Chair Mike Long seconded, and the board likewise voted unanimously to adopt the county plan.
The ordinance amendment was recorded in the minutes only by title ("Amendment to Zoning Ordinance in regards to Warehouses"); the written minutes do not include the ordinance text, specific zoning changes, or findings offered during debate. The resolution adoption likewise is recorded by title; the minutes note the municipal adoption action and that townships will receive preliminary FEMA floodplain maps in late fall for review.
What the board approved: Ordinance 2025-002 (warehouse zoning amendment) and Resolution 2025-002 (municipal adoption of Dauphin County Hazard Mitigation Plan). The minutes do not provide language of the ordinance or a summary of substantive changes; residents or officials did not provide detailed public testimony in the minutes regarding either measure.
Next steps: the township will publish the adopted ordinance and resolution consistent with statutory posting requirements and review preliminary floodplain maps when provided by the county later in the year.
