A. The criteria for conditional uses and special exceptions are listed below. The Board of Supervisors and the Zoning Hearing Board (as the case may be), in granting conditional uses and special exceptions, are charged with considering the effect that such proposed uses will have upon the immediate neighborhood. The preservation and integrity of existing development must be carefully weighed and given priority in each decision, In granting a conditional use or a special exception, the Supervisors or the Zoning Hearing Board (as the case may be) may attach reasonable conditions and safeguards, in addition to those expressed in this chapter, as they may deem necessary to implement the purposes of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code and this chapter.

B. Applications for conditional uses and special exceptions shall be made to the Zoning Officer. Conditional Uses shall be granted or denied by the Board of Township Supervisors after the recommendation of the Township Planning Commission. Special exceptions shall be granted or denied by the Zoning Hearing Board. Procedures for both shall follow those specified in this chapter and the Planning Code.
