[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the Township of Upper Moreland as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 2-7-2011 by Ord. No. 1598]
Pursuant to Section 1502, Clause I, II (53 P.S. § 56502) of the First Class Township Code, the codification of a complete body of legislation for the Township of Upper Moreland, County of Montgomery, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters, articles and sections by General Code, and consisting of Chapters 1 through 350, together with an Appendix, is hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as a single ordinance of the Township of Upper Moreland, which shall be known and is hereby designated as the "Code of the Township of Upper Moreland," hereinafter referred to as the "Code."
The provisions of this Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of ordinances and resolutions in force immediately prior to the enactment of this ordinance, are intended as a continuation of such ordinances and resolutions and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions shall date from the date of adoption of the prior ordinance or resolution. All such provisions are hereby continued in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed as to their adoption by the Board of Commissioners of the Township of Upper Moreland, and it is the intention of said Board of Commissioners that each such provision contained within the Code is hereby reenacted and reaffirmed as it appears in said Code. Only such provisions of former ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-3 below, and only new or changed provisions, as described in § 1-6 below, shall be deemed to be enacted from the effective date of this Code, as provided in § 1-15 below.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent with the provisions contained in the Code adopted by this ordinance are hereby repealed; provided, however, that such repeal shall only be to the extent of such inconsistency, and any valid legislation of the Township of Upper Moreland which is not in conflict with the provisions of the Code shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect.
Any ordinance adopted subsequent to 4-5-2010.
Nomenclature changes. The following terms have been changed throughout the Code:
In Chapter 263, references to "Zoning Board of Adjustment" and "Zoning Hearing Board of Adjustment" are revised to "Zoning Hearing Board."
Fees removed. Throughout the Code, and specifically in §§ 65-5B, 65-6B, 75-5, 103-3, 236-2C and 279-10B, fee amounts have been replaced with language that indicates Township fees are "as set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Commissioners."
Substantive changes and revisions. In addition to the changes and revisions described above, changes and revisions of a substantive nature, as set forth in Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof, are hereby made to various ordinances and resolutions included in the Code. These changes are enacted to bring provisions into conformity with the desired policies of the Board of Commissioners, and it is the intent of the Board of Commissioners that all such changes be adopted as part of the Code as if the legislation so changed had been previously formally amended to read as such. All such changes and revisions shall be deemed to be in effect as of the effective date of the Code specified in § 1-15.[1]
Editor's Note: In accordance with § 1-6D, the chapters, parts and sections which were added, amended, adopted or deleted by this ordinance are indicated throughout the Code by a footnote referring to Chapter 1, General Provisions, Article I. During routine supplementation, footnotes indicating amendments, additions or deletions will be replaced with the following history: "Amended (added, repealed) 2-7-2011 by Ord. No. 1598." Schedule A, which contains a complete description of all the changes, is on file in the Township offices.
It shall be the duty of the Township Secretary or someone authorized and directed by him or her to keep up-to-date the certified copy or copies of the book containing the Code required to be filed in the office of the Township Secretary for the use of the public. All changes in said Code and all legislation adopted by the Board of Commissioners subsequent to the effective date of this codification which the Board of Commissioners shall adopt specifically as part of the Code shall, when finally adopted, be included therein by reference until such changes or new legislation are printed as supplements to said Code books, at which time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
All provisions of this ordinance and of the Code shall be in force and effect on and after February 12, 2011.
