Council approves Zarfos awning encroachment and temporary parking relief; sign ordinance to go to council in May
Summary
Council approved an encroachment agreement for awnings and lights on a Zarfos mural, granted temporary parking relief to a contractor during a church paving project, and was informed that York County Planning Commission recommended a sign-ordinance amendment for council consideration in May.
Council discussed several planning and zoning items affecting downtown aesthetics and access. Evan Heister said the Farmers Market was allocated $400 for feather flags and signs. Jordan requested permission for awnings and lights on the mural at the Zarfos building; the council approved an encroachment agreement on the condition the awnings were high enough not to interfere with municipal‑lot events.
Council also approved parking relief for Jordan’s crew while Bethany Church paves its lot; the crew will be permitted to park in the municipal lot and the borough will provide parking papers to identify them. Atty Craley noted York County Planning Commission recommended approval of a sign ordinance and will forward it for council approval in May.
Why it matters: These approvals affect downtown appearance, temporary parking management during construction, and upcoming local regulation of signs. The encroachment agreement balances private property improvements with event and municipal‑lot use.
