North Strabane Township supervisors have scheduled a hearing for a zoning ordinance that would regulate tower-based and other wireless communication facilities throughout the township.

The hearing is set for 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 20, in the municipal building, 1929 Route 519, Canonsburg.

“The federal government over the last couple years, and the state government, have changed … what we’re allowed to regulate,” said township manager Andy Walz. “(We will) rewrite our ordinance to reflect those changes in the laws. It’s not too big of a change; it’s just updating it.”

The ordinance would regulate where both tower-based and non-tower wireless communication facilities may be located and placed; it would also regulate their construction and maintenance. The new ordinance would also establish application and annual renewal fees and provide enforcement guidelines.

Also at Tuesday evening’s voting meeting, supervisors approved a preliminary site plan land development application for Sunbelt Rentals, along Meadowlands Boulevard.

The final site plan application for Greenwood Village, a townhouse development on Greenwood and Filmore drives in Canonsburg, was tabled.
