The Borough of Kennett Square currently has openings on the Zoning Hearing Board (ZHB) and is seeking individuals who are interested in serving their community as a ZHB member.
The ZHB reviews requests in which an applicant believes provisions of the Borough’s Zoning Ordinance inflict unnecessary hardship. The ZHB has jurisdiction for hearing and rendering a decision on the following;
- Applications for a variance or special exception from the Zoning Ordinance
- Substantive challenges to the validity of any land use Ordinance
- Appeals from any determination of a zoning officer
- Appeals from determinations by a municipal engineer
The ZHB typically meets the fourth Thursday of the month but that can vary on an as-needed basis to fulfill its purpose.
Anyone interested in being appointed to the ZHB should e-mail a letter of interest and resume to Codes Director Terri Dugan at tdugan@kennettsq.org. Any questions about the Board can be directed to Director Dugan via e-mail or by calling 610-444-6020.
In order to serve on the ZHB, an individual must be a resident of the Borough.
