Bridgeville adopts Ordinance 1034 to create downtown zoning district
Summary
The Bridgeville Borough Council voted to adopt Ordinance No. 1034, creating a downtown zoning district that updates permitted uses, parking and design standards and revises the mixed-use district rules.
Bridgeville Borough Council on the record adopted Ordinance No. 1034, a change to Chapter 27 of the borough code that creates a new downtown zoning district with related definitions, permitted principal and accessory uses, bulk and area regulations, parking and loading requirements, and design standards.
Pat, a meeting participant who spoke at the start of the session, said of the draft ordinance, "While I do not agree with everything that is in the ordinance, it certainly does have a number of positive items and I appreciate your consideration." The motion to adopt the ordinance was made and seconded; Justine and Jason are recorded as having seconded the motion. The council voted and the motion carried.
The ordinance also includes updated regulations for permissible principal uses in the existing mixed‑use zoning district. The council did not specify implementation dates or transitional rules during the discussion recorded on the transcript. No vote tally by name was provided in the record.
The adoption places new design and parking standards before any future development or permit reviews in the downtown district; affected property owners and developers will be subject to the amended Chapter 27 provisions once the ordinance takes effect according to borough processes.
