Pursuant to Section 702, Clause XLI.1 (53 P.S. § 65741.1) of the Second Class Township Code, the codification of a complete body of legislation for the Township of Unity, County of Westmoreland, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as revised, codified and consolidated into titles, chapters and sections by General Code Publishers Corp. and consisting of Chapters 1 through 109, together with an Appendix, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as a single ordinance of the Township of Unity, which shall be known and is hereby designated as the "Code of the Township of Unity," hereinafter referred to as the "Code."
The provisions of this Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of legislation in force immediately prior to the enactment of this ordinance, are intended as a continuation of such legislation and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions shall date from the date of adoption of the prior ordinance. All such provisions are hereby continued in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed as to their adoption by the Board of Supervisors of the Township of Unity, and it is the intention of said Board of Supervisors that each such provision contained within the Code is hereby reenacted and reaffirmed as it appears in said Code. Only such provisions of former legislation as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-3 below, and only new or changed provisions, as described in § 1-6 below, shall be deemed to be enacted from the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 legislation or parts of legislation of a general and permanent nature adopted by the Township of Unity and in force on the date of the adoption of this Code and not contained in the Code are hereby repealed as of the effective date given in § 1-15 below, except as hereinafter provided.
The adoption of this Code and the repeal of legislation provided for in § 1-3 of this ordinance shall not affect the following legislation, rights and obligations, which are hereby expressly saved from repeal; provided, however, that the repeal of legislation pursuant to § 1-3 or the saving from repeal of legislation pursuant to this section shall not be construed so as to revive any ordinance previously repealed, superseded or no longer of any effect:
Any ordinance adopted subsequent to August 1, 1986.
Any provisions regulating vehicles and traffic in the Township of Unity.
Any provisions regulating mobile home parks in the Township of Unity.
All legislation of a general and permanent nature adopted subsequent to the date given in § 1-4A and/or prior to the date of adoption of this ordinance are hereby deemed to be a part of the Code and shall, upon being printed be included therein. Attested copies of all such legislation shall be temporarily placed in the Code until printed supplements are included.
Nonsubstantive grammatical changes. In compiling and preparing the legislation of the Township for adoption and revision as part of the Code, certain nonsubstantive grammatical and style changes were made in one or more pieces of said legislation. It is the intention of the Board of Supervisors 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.
Substantive changes and revisions. In addition to the changes and revisions described above, the following changes and revisions of a substantive nature are hereby made to various legislation included in the Code. These changes are made to bring provisions into conformity with the desired policies of the Board of Supervisors, and it is the intent of the Board of Supervisors 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]
