SALDO (Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance)

Like the Zoning Ordinance, the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO) is a key document in determining the physical characteristics and landscape of a community. The SALDO recently underwent an update process, with a new Ordinance adopted February 19, 2020.

In January of 2018, the Board of Commissioners appointed a five-member committee consisting of the members of the Township Planning and Zoning Department, the Township Engineer, the Township Manager, and a Montgomery County Planning Commission representative to draft a comprehensive amendment to SALDO. The final steps included a number of public meetings to take in feedback and adjust the draft ordinance into its final product. Drafts and the adopted SALDO (final draft 2019-12-18) can be found below.
