Zoning
Lower Macungie Township has adopted a progressive and advanced zoning ordinance which is designed accommodate the township's anticipated future growth, in-fill and build-out development and reuse of its villages, corridors and commercial centers. Sound zoning ensures high quality of life for township residents, economic strength and high quality development and redevelopment.
When relief from these regulations is sought or necessary, the Township Zoning Hearing Board convenes to deliberate on potential relief and variances per Pennsylvania State Law.
