Lancaster County adopts countywide zoning text amendment to set criteria for development
Summary
The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners adopted County Text Amendment 260007 to the county zoning regulations, creating countywide criteria for future development proposals; the action follows a July 21 public hearing and does not apply to any single project.
The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt County Text Amendment 260007, a countywide change to Lancaster County zoning regulations that establishes criteria developers must meet when submitting projects for review.
A commissioner summarized the measure as a countywide standard meant to identify the criteria for people wishing to make developments throughout Lancaster County, saying, "This does not regard any specific project. Those would have to come forward through a special permit process, at which time they would be examined individually on their merits and on the concerns listed about them." The board moved and approved the resolution after roll call.
The change was presented as a follow-up to a public hearing held July 21; staff and commissioners described it as a procedural step that will guide how future special-permit applications are reviewed rather than approving or denying any particular development now. The resolution was adopted by the board at the July 28 meeting.
