Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 20 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a public hearing and then unanimously approved Ordinance No. 697, amending Chapter 27 of the Zoning Code to define and regulate short-term rentals. The ordinance establishes short-term rentals—defined as dwelling units rented for overnight lodging for one to 60 days—as a conditional use in R-4 and Commercial Districts, a permitted use in R-5 High-Density Residential, and not permitted in lower-density R-1, R-1A, R-2, and R-3 zones. The ordinance includes criteria for lighting, safe access, and owner-operator responsibility for guest conduct. The Planning Commission had recommended approval. The board approved Resolution R-22-2022 to display military banners along Cherrington Parkway from Ewing Road through Thorn Run Extension to Baintree Road. They also approved a three-year Snow and Ice Agreement with Allegheny County for the winters of 2022-2023 through 2024-2025. Two simple subdivision plans for the 4th and 7th Amendments to the Village at Marketplace were approved, as was the Robinson Peripheral Plan No. 10, which affects a small area of Moon Township for recording purposes only. Resolution R-24-2022 was passed, authorizing the acquisition of right-of-way and easements, including a temporary construction easement, on property at 5854 University Boulevard for roadway improvements on Grant Drive. The board approved payment of bills from the General Fund ($644,594.98), Sponsorship Fund ($4,867.49), ARPA Fund ($19,376.85), Capital Reserve Fund ($97,570.11), Stormwater Fund ($338,766.39), Short Term Borrowing Fund ($90,112.19), and Bond Fund ($407,421.41). A supervisor abstained from the General Fund vote due to a conflict of interest with a vendor. During audience comments, three residents pressed for progress on adding pickleball courts at Moon Park. The township engineer reported that using the parking lot near the batting cages for two courts would eliminate about 40 spaces, which is not recommended. Supervisors encouraged the group to continue fundraising and to coordinate with the Community Engagement Director on sponsorships. The board also heard the township manager’s report on upcoming parks and recreation events and a PennDOT closure of the Neville Island Bridge.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a public hearing and then unanimously approved Ordinance No. 697, amending Chapter 27 of the Zoning Code to define and regulate short-term rentals.
