Timing and Approval for Permits for Historic Resources
Timing requirements for issuance of permits and other approvals. The applicable time periods for issuance of a building permit, demolition permit, or sign permit, or for conducting a public hearing and reaching a decision on a conditional use, special exception, or variance application, may be altered from the otherwise stipulated time requirements of this chapter in accordance with the following:
(1) As authorized by Section 7210.502 of the Pa. Uniform Construction Code, the Zoning Officer shall not be required to issue a building permit or demolition permit for any property on the Historic Properties Map until all other applicable approvals required by this article have been obtained and appropriate documentation presented.
(2) An applicant for conditional use approval from the Board of Supervisors or for a special exception or variance from the Zoning Hearing Board may, as part of the application submission or as part of the hearing record, waive or extend the time periods for a hearing and/or decision that are otherwise applicable under the terms of this chapter and the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code.
