Bethlehem Township has adopted ordinances – like the Zoning and Subdivision and Land Development Ordinances – to protect and promote the safety, health and welfare of the community. These ordinances attempt to accomplish coordinated development and growth; guide and protect amenity, convenience, economic, and social facilities; as well as the improvement of governmental processes and functions. They're also tools to guide uses of land and structures, and to promote the preservation of the community's natural and historic resources.
In conjunction with adopted ordinances, the Township's Comprehensive Plan is administered by the Community Development Department. The 2017 Comprehensive Plan Update serves to protect and enhance quality of life for residents, businesses and visitors over a 10-year period by planning for transportation, stormwater, land use, development, parks/recreation/open space, natural resource protection and streetscape enhancement.
The Planning Commission generally meets on the fourth Monday of the month at 7:00. Planning Commission members are appointed by the Board of Commissioners to a four year term that expires on December 31 of the designated year.
