East Bethlehem Township adopted a comprehensive Zoning Ordinance on March 9, 2016, governing land use regulation across all portions of the township under authority granted by the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code (Act of 1968, P.L. 805, No. 247). The ordinance regulates structure location, height, bulk, construction, lot occupancy percentages, yard and open space dimensions, population density, and land use intensity for purposes including residence, trade, industry, recreation, agriculture, water supply, and conservation. The ordinance is structured in eight chapters covering general provisions, definitions, zoning districts, general and supplemental regulations, signage, nonconformities, and administration. It is enacted to promote health, safety, general welfare, coordinated community development, emergency preparedness, adequate utilities and transportation, and preservation of natural, scenic, historic, forest, wetland, aquifer, and floodplain resources, while preventing overcrowding, blight, and congestion.
