The City of Scranton commissioned a stormwater and drainage feasibility study for the East Mountain area in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, presented by Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc. on October 25, 2023.

  • Scranton Proposed Ordinance and Exhibit A – Zoning Amendment | PDF

    Scranton, PA
    Other

    This ordinance amends Scranton's zoning code to clarify regulations for hospitals and off-street parking.

Two areas of the city zoning map are rezoned from Town-City Institutional to Civic designation: one bounded by Mulberry Street, Colfax Avenue, Vine Street, and Okell Court, and another bounded by Linden Street, Colfax Avenue, Roselynn Street, and Sherwood Court. Hospital uses are expanded to explicitly include medical research, short and long-term care, hospice, medical testing, operating rooms, dental offices, nursing homes, ambulatory surgery centers, and off-street parking facilities. Off-lot parking for principal uses is permitted if the parking lot is within 400 feet of the principal use and both are under common ownership.
