Planning Commission

The Planning Commission is comprised of six Borough residents whom Borough Council appoints to review and make final decisions on subdivision and land development plans. The Commission also acts in an advisory capacity to Borough Council on matters related to comprehensive planning, zoning, and amendments to land development regulations.

The Planning Commission meets monthly on an as-needed basis, on the third Monday at 5:30 PM. The deadline for subdivision and/or land development plan applications or other items requiring prior review and comment are published on the Calendar of Events on the Home page.  

The Subdivision Application will need to be submitted prior to the deadline of the scheduled Planning Commission meeting. The Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code requires a 30-day county planning commission review period prior to consideration of a subdivision and/or land development plan by the municipal planning commission.

If you are interested in serving on the Planning Commission, please send a resume and cover letter to FoxChapel@fox-chapel.pa.us. The powers and duties of the Planning Commission according to Borough ordinance are articulated in more detail in the Borough Code Chapter 75, §75.1-75.8.
