The seven members of the Planning Commission review sketch, preliminary and final plans prepared by development applicants in connection with residential and commercial subdivision and land development projects.
The review process involves reviewing applications to ensure they meet the Township zoning, subdivision and land development ordinances, as well as good planning practices. These projects are further reviewed by the Township Engineer, County and State agencies such as the Chester County Planning Commission, Health Department, and Conservation District, as well as the PA Department of Transportation, Department of Environmental Protection, Army Corps of Engineers. Our own Historical Commission and Park and Recreation Board will also ensure the plans conform to the laws and regulations of their respective jurisdictions. The Planning Commission submits its recommendations to the Board of Supervisors for action. In addition, some projects require special traffic and/or water resource studies along with other planning reviews. Some planning reviews and suggested revisions are submitted by East Vincent's Township Planner at the request of the Township. It is recommended that the developer meet with representatives from the Planning Commission and permit a site visit of the land they wish to develop. This practice is recommended so that the developer can draw up a plan compatible with the site, its natural and historic features, and the Township's objectives.
