Allegheny Township schedules June 8 public hearing on proposed 'Special Events Barn' ordinance
Summary
Supervisors voted to advertise a public hearing for a proposed Special Events Barn ordinance to be held June 8, 2026; the ordinance was introduced from a Planning Commission recommendation and drew public comment at the May 11 meeting.
Allegheny Township supervisors voted May 11 to advertise a public hearing on a proposed Special Events Barn ordinance, the board said.
Supervisor Jeff Pollick moved to advertise the hearing for June 8, 2026, to be held in conjunction with the regular Board of Supervisors meeting; Supervisor Frank Weissert seconded the motion, and it carried. The minutes do not record a roll-call vote tally.
The item was listed on the agenda following a Planning Commission recommendation. Resident Marlene Schweikert offered comment on the ordinance during the citizen input period; the minutes note her comment but do not summarize its substance.
Why it matters: a Special Events Barn ordinance could affect how the township regulates private event venues and attendant traffic, parking and safety requirements. The minutes record that the board will consider planning commission recommendations during the public hearing, but they do not include draft ordinance text or specifics about regulatory changes.
What’s next: the board will hold the advertised public hearing on June 8, 2026. The minutes indicate the hearing will be in conjunction with the regular meeting; the board may consider revisions or subsequent readings after public comment.
