The Moon Township Board of Supervisors convened a continued public hearing on October 22, 2024, regarding the conditional use application filed by Revival Today, Inc. for a place of worship at 1442 Coraopolis Heights Road. The chairman called the meeting to order at 6:01 p.m. with all five supervisors present. The solicitor identified new parties. An attorney entered party status representing adjacent property owners in opposition. The solicitor entered three new exhibits: a letter from applicant’s counsel requesting continuance, a letter from a resident opposing the continuance, and an email from an attorney joining the resident's position that a bond should be posted if a continuance were granted. The applicant, represented by an attorney, requested a continuance, stating they had recently hired Langan Engineering to complete additional work including a traffic study, and that the Planning Commission had tabled the application. A resident objected, arguing the applicant had been using the property in violation of zoning ordinances since May and requested the hearing proceed immediately unless the applicant agreed to cease operations until conditional use was granted. An attorney, representing 13 neighboring families, added that the applicant was advertising a November 12-15 event and argued the delay was deliberate. The board recessed to executive session from 6:16 to 6:30 p.m. Upon return, the solicitor noted the conditional use application concerns future use, while ongoing enforcement actions address current violations. He asked if the applicant would voluntarily stop using the property; the applicant's attorney declined. The board voted unanimously to continue the public hearing to December 9, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at Moon Middle School. The meeting adjourned at 6:37 p.m.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors convened a continued public hearing on October 22, 2024, regarding the conditional use application filed by Revival Today, Inc. for a place of worship at 1442 Coraopolis Heights Road.
