Loading...
Summary
The Development Activities Committee will recommend Borough Council conditionally approve a winter shelter at 409 North State Street after finding the applicant met the 12 criteria in Section 319‑27.D.(21) of the Borough Code; approval would allow winter shelter operation as an accessory use Dec. 21–Mar. 20, subject to continued compliance.
The Development Activities Committee on Feb. 9 reviewed a Conditional Use Application for a winter shelter at 409 North State Street and determined the applicant has addressed the standards in Section 319‑27.D.(21) of the Code of the Borough of Ephrata.
A recent zoning amendment permits winter shelters to operate as an accessory use from Dec. 21 through March 20 of the following year, provided a conditional use approval by Borough Council and compliance with 12 additional requirements. The committee record states the applicant "has satisfactorily addressed each of the criteria" listed in the code section and the committee will recommend that Borough Council conditionally approve the application, with the condition that the applicant continues to meet the 12 requirements.
The recommendation will move to Borough Council for final action. The committee did not record any additional conditions beyond the ongoing requirement that the applicant maintain compliance with the 12 specified criteria.
