In December, the Falls Township Board of Supervisors are likely to consider updates to a number of the local government’s zoning ordinance.
The township staff and attorneys have been looking over the current zoning ordinance and finding what parts need the most updating, officials said.

The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously earlier this month to advertise the proposed changes, including updating sections relating to stormwater management, Earth disturbance, regulation and placement of PODS and dumpsters, rights of way, and tree protection standards.
“Township staff and professionals have done a very through review of our zoning ordinance,” Supervisor Chairman Bob Harvie said. “It requires updating … Our sign ordinance, which has been around forever, didn’t say anything about electronic signs because they didn’t exist (when it was adopted).”
The changes are intended to “clean up inconsistencies” in the ordinance, solicitor Lauren Gallagher.
