We Are (Again) Seeking Planning Commission Members
Any resident of Collegeville Borough is eligible to apply for one of the two positions that will be open on the Collegeville Planning Commission. Although terms are usually for four years, these two positions will fill the unexpired terms of two resigning members. The terms will begin when the two new appointees take over and end on Dec. 31, 2025. Then, if both the members and Council agree, the members will be re-appointed for four-year terms.
Collegeville’s Planning Commission is an advisory board consisting of seven members. The Planning Commission makes recommendations to Borough Council on all land development and subdivision applications submitted to the Borough.
The Planning Commission meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. both via Zoom and in person at Collegeville Borough Hall, 491 E. Main St., Collegeville, PA 19426.
The majority of the Planning Commission’s duties pertain to the review of land development and subdivision plans. However, the Commission also reviews proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map; proposed changes to the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinances, Comprehensive Plan writing and revisions, rezoning petitions, and conditional use applications.
The Commissioners are appointed by Borough Council and receive no compensation. Commissioners are encouraged to attend education and training seminars which are paid for by the Borough.
