SUMMARY:VIRTUAL LIVE WEBINAR  An Introduction to Zoning: What is It and Why Should I Care
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE WEBINAR \nThe way that land is used can have a significant impact on individual landowners\, surrounding residents\, and community members as a whole. Zoning is a land use regulation that sets standards for items such as land use\, density\, and lot dimensions. In Pennsylvania\, local municipalities\, including counties\, are given the authority to enact zoning ordinances provided they follow the overall guidelines set forth by the state. While municipalities must follow these overall guidelines\, they have flexibility in establishing specific standards. It’s important for local officials as well as landowners\, business owners\, and members of the public\, to understand the purpose\, process\, and potential effects of zoning. This webinar will help participants increase their knowledge of zoning. As a result\, they can be better prepared for potential future actions. \nEVENT DETAILS \nThis informative webinar will review the importance of understanding the potential effects of zoning on businesses\, landowners\, and the public. \nWHEN \nOctober 17\, 2023\n6 p.m. – 7:15 p.m. \nWho is this for? \n\nGeneral Public\nCitizen Planners\nElected Officials\nLandowners\n\nWhat will you learn? \n\nFundamentals of zoning\, including purpose\, enactment\, and implementation\nImportance of public engagement in the zoning process\nRoles of elected and appointed officials\, landowners\, and the general public\nItems to consider when making land use decisions\n\nThis event is being offered at no charge to participants. \nRegistration is required to receive the link to access the webinar. \nRegistrants will also receive access to the webinar recording. \nRegister By: October 17\, 2023 7:15 p.m.
