Proposed
Land Use Changes and Maps
In January 2007 Borough Council
approved the revised Comprehensive Plan. The Plan set certain
community and development related goals. The Plan generally
increased the standards for developing land in Franklin Park.
In order to achieve those goals, the Borough has worked to
update its zoning, subdivision and land development
ordinances.
On March 11, 2009 the Borough held a public meeting to receive citizen
input regarding the proposed changes. The major changes that
are proposed are as follows:
*Enhanced M-2 Mixed-Used Interchange District
*Planned Economic Development (PED) Overlay District
*Five Points Village Overlay District
*Conservation Subdivision Design
*Transition District Overlay
*Natural Resources Overlay District
*Landscaping and Buffering Provisions
The borough recently adopted improved standards for multi-family building
design and strengthened standards in the stormwater
ordinance.
The March 11, 2009 meeting is the beginning of the public involvement
process. Residents are encouraged to review the information
provided below and make any comments you may have in writing
or by email:
email@franklinparkborough.us. All responses will be
forwarded to and considered by the Planning Commission.
After the Planning Commission approval the recommended
revisions to the Zoning, Subdivision & Land Development
Ordinances will be forwarded to Borough Council. Council
will then hold a public hearing to receive public input.
Additionally, every resident whose property will be affected
by the changes will be notified by mail, prior to the public
hearing. Both
the Planning Commission and Borough Council have committed
to provide our residents with every opportunity to comment
on the proposed changes. Only after a full, open and public
debate will Council consider adopting the proposed revisions
to our ordinances. Please

area of interest, then scroll down to the area to review the
proposed requirements.
