South Fayette Township is updating the community's Comprehensive Plan, in partnership with engineering and planning firm Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc. As of February 20, 2023, the draft plan is on display for 45 days for public review and comment.
The Comprehensive Plan is a 10-year, long-range plan outlining future land use and includes goals and objectives related to economic development, infrastructure, housing, parks and recreation, open space, preservation, transportation, connectivity, and community facilities.
Provide your feedback on the draft 2023 Comprehensive Plan using this online form. Submissions may remain anonymous.
Public input has been gathered through community events, individual interviews and steering committee meetings.
Residents, business leaders and taxpayers have shared thoughts on the future of the community, including roads, development, housing, parks, land use, zoning, uses around the Southern Beltway, municipal services and more.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies the goals and strategies for growth and conservation in the community.
Pennsylvania's laws guide the basic content for comprehensive plans so that growth is encouraged in a coordinated manner.
A comprehensive plan differs from a zoning ordinance in that it is adopted as a resolution rather than as an ordinance or law. The comprehensive plan serves as a guide, whereas the zoning ordinance is a legal instrument that is used to implement regulations and provisions that are consistent with the principles of the adopted comprehensive plan.
