Ordinance 2021-284 proposes amendments to Worcester Township's zoning code, consolidating multiple corrections and revisions into a single ordinance to reduce taxpayer costs associated with required newspaper publication.

The ordinance reflects the township's effort to streamline code maintenance while addressing specific zoning compliance issues.

Ordinance No. 1261 amends East Stroudsburg Borough's codified ordinances to establish Chapter 124, creating a licensing and inspection system for residential rental properties. The ordinance aims to protect public health, safety, and welfare by establishing requirements for property owners and managers, preventing overcrowding and nuisances, and creating an inspection and licensing framework with penalties for violations. The borough found that rental properties experience greater incidence of code violations, maintenance issues, and neighborhood disturbances compared to owner-occupied properties, and that systematic inspections can prevent serious hazards such as non-functional smoke detectors.
