The Board of Commissioners may, from time to time, amend this chapter, including the Zoning Map.

Before voting on the enactment of any amendment, the Board of Commissioners shall hold a public hearing. "Public notice" as used in this section shall mean notice given not more than 30 days and not less than 14 days in advance of the said hearing. Such notice shall be published once each week for two successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the Township. Such notice shall include the full text of the amendment and shall state the time and place of the hearing. If, after any public hearing held upon an amendment, the proposed amendment is revised to include land previously not affected by it, the Board of Commissioners shall hold another public hearing, pursuant to public notice, before proceeding to vote on the amendment.

In case of an amendment, the Board of Commissioners shall submit each such amendment to the Township Planning Commission and to the Delaware County Planning Commission at least 30 days prior to the hearing in order to provide the Planning Commission an opportunity to submit recommendations.

Any person, partnership or corporation who shall violate the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to a civil penalty which penalty shall amount to $600 per day each day the violation shall continue.

In case any building, structure, or land is erected, proposed to be erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, converted, maintained, or used in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, the Board of Commissioners or, with the approval of the Board, an officer of the Township, in addition to other remedies, may institute in the name of the Township any appropriate action or proceedings to prevent, restrain, correct or abate such building, structure or land, or to prevent, in or about such premises, any act, conduct, business or use constituting a violation.

Whenever a violation of this chapter occurs, any person may file a written complaint with the Zoning Officer in regard thereto. The Zoning Officer shall promptly investigate all complaints and make report thereon to the Board of Commissioners.

This chapter shall become effective the 12th day of December 2007.
