Zoning Hearing Board


The Zoning Hearing Board’s purpose is to help assure fair and equitable application and administration of the zoning ordinance by hearing appeals on the Zoning Officer’s determinations and by granting relief from the literal enforcement of the ordinance in certain hardship situations. It is a quasi-judicial body; that is, its powers are to some extent judicial in nature. The board schedules hearings on applications and appeals that come before it, takes evidence, and issues written decisions with findings of fact and conclusions of law.

The York Township Zoning Hearing Board meets the fourth Tuesday of the month at the York Township Administration Office, public meeting room, located at 190 Oak Road, Dallastown PA. Meetings start at 6:00 p.m.

Meeting Notice

Public participation in the meetings of the Zoning Hearing Board of York Township is both a right under the Sunshine Law and is encouraged. However, the right of the public to participate is not unlimited. Members of the public must observe the procedural rules of the Township, such as being recognized by the Chair before addressing the Board, not approaching the dais and not speaking when others are speaking.

Failure to observe these rules of decorum and participation could result in a citation filed pursuant to Section 5508 of the Pennsylvania Crimes Code, entitled “Disrupting meetings and processions.” A person commits an offense of Section 5508 of the Crimes Code if, with the intent to prevent or disrupt a lawful meeting, procession or gathering, he or she disturbs or interrupts it. Such an offense is a misdemeanor of the third degree, which is punishable by a fine of not less than $250, nor more than $5,000, or imprisonment of not more than 90 days, or both.
