What is the Comprehensive Plan?

In Pennsylvania, the Comprehensive Plan establishes a vision for future growth and development in a municipality. Among other things, it outlines challenges facing the community, identifies potential solutions, and provides guidance to appointed and elected officials on community planning-related decisions, including parks & recreation facilities.

The Haverford Township Comprehensive Plan Review Process...

Before going any further, let us be clear about two things:

1. The DRAFT Comprehensive Plan does not recommend demolishing, relocating or otherwise displacing any business, institution or resident of Haverford Township

2. Even if the Comprehensive Plan recommended a future change to the zoning of any properties, lawful uses of individual properties at the date of the change, if approved, may continue as “nonconforming” so long as they remain otherwise lawful, including subsequent sales of the property.
