New Hope Borough Code of Ordinances

On June 13, 2007 Borough Council adopted a new Code of Ordinances, consolidating all Borough ordinances adopted through December 31, 2006, with the exception of the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO). The SALDO is scheduled for updating in 2010 and will be added to the Code at that time.

The Code of Ordinances was updated by Supplement #6, dated March 1, 2010, and incorporates all ordinances adopted by Council through February 28, 2010.

Ordinances adopted after February 28, 2010, which are not included in the Code of Ordinances, are listed below. These ordinances will be added to the Code of Ordinances at the time of the next update in early 2011.

Ordinance No. 2010-01 changes the speed limits on portions of S. Main Sreet and Windy Bush Road in accordance with new PennDOT permits.

Ordinance No. 2010-02 establishes rules and regulations for special purpose, on-street parking areas or spaces.

Ordinance No. 2010-03 amends various provisions of the zoning ordinance.
