Township of Horsham, PA General Provisions
[Adopted 12-14-2005 by Ord. No. 297]
Pursuant to Section 1601(d) [53 P.S. § 66601(d)] of the Second Class Township Code, the codification of a complete body of legislation for Horsham Township, County of Montgomery, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters, articles and sections by General Code Publishers Corp., and consisting of Chapters 1 through 230, together with an Appendix, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as a single ordinance of Horsham Township, which shall be known and is hereby designated as the "Code of Horsham Township," 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 Township Council of Horsham Township, and it is the intention of said Township Council 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 Only such provisions of former ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-3 below, and only new or changed provisions, as described in § 1-6 below, shall be deemed to be enacted from the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or parts of ordinances inconsistent with the provisions contained in the Code adopted by this ordinance are hereby repealed; provided, however, that such repeal shall only be to the extent of such inconsistency, and any valid legislation of Horsham Township which is not in conflict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 9-14-2005.
Any ordinance or portion of an ordinance establishing a specific fee amount for any license, permit or service obtained from the Township, except as subsequently set by resolution.
Ordinance Nos. 2009, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 3008, to the extent not superseded by Ordinance No. 2018 (adopting the Uniform Construction Code).
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[1] 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 Township Council, and it is the intent of the Township Council that all such changes be adopted as part of the Code as if the legislation so changed had previously been 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.
Editor’s Note: In accordance with § 1-6B, 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, deleted) 12-14-2005 by Ord. No. 297.” Schedule A, which contains a complete description of all changes, is on file in the Township offices.
Nomenclature. Throughout the Code, references to the following entities, agencies or officials are updated as indicated:
"Board of Supervisors" to "Township Council."
"Township of Horsham" to "Horsham Township."
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 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 Township Council subsequent to the effective date of this codification which the Township Council 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.
The provisions of this ordinance and of the Code adopted hereby are severable, and if any clause, sentence, subsection, section, article, chapter or part thereof shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unconstitutional, such judgment or decision shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof but shall be confined in its operation and application to the clause, sentence, subsection, section, article, chapter or part thereof rendered illegal, invalid or unconstitutional. It is hereby declared to be the intent of the Township Council that this ordinance and the Code would have been adopted if such illegal, invalid or unconstitutional clause, sentence, subsection, section, article, chapter or part thereof had not been included therein.
All provisions of this ordinance and of the Code shall be in force and effect on and after December 19, 2005.
