RE: AMENDMENT TO ZONING CODE OF SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA -- CHAPTER 14

By signing this Petition, I am acknowledging my support of the Amendment to the Zoning Code of Springfield Township, Montgomery County, PA - Chapter 14 which adds Article XIIC entitled “Limited Industrial District”. I am in support of the rezoning (from “Industrial” to “Limited Industrial”) certain parcels of land in Springfield Township, including but not limited to parcels known as “Tank Car” and “Giuliani Property”. I would like the Commissioners of Springfield Township to move forward with this rezoning immediately.

From the Zoning Officer's letter dated October 10th:

The first of these changes is the inclusion of thefollowing permitted uses within the Industrial District:

• Administrative offices, accessory office buildings, contractor's offices and storage yards, public or governmental uses, scientific or industrial research, self-storage facilities, and trade or professional schools.

The second is the creation of a Limited Industrial Zoning District for

properties that are adjacent to residentially utilized or zoned properties. This district would include the following permitted uses:

• Scientific or industrial research; administrative or business offices; public or governmental utility buildings or uses; printing or publishing facilities, manufacturing, fabrication, assembly, processing and packing plants except for processes specifically prohibited under sec. 114-12C2; contractor's office and storage; trade or professional schools; administrative offices accessory to a permitted use.

• Prohibited uses for the Light Industrial District under sec. 114-12C2 will be revised to include: Transportation services, including the keeping or storage of passenger or school buses, limousines or taxi cabs.
