Navigating Lewisburg's Zoning Regulations: What You Need to Know

Undertaking a home renovation or commercial project in Lewisburg, PA, means understanding the Borough's specific zoning regulations as detailed in the Lewisburg Municipal Zoning Ordinance. These ordinances are in place to ensure orderly development, preserve the town's unique character, and protect the well-being of its residents. Lewisburg features various zoning districts, including Residential (R-1, R-2, R-3), Commercial (C-1), Institutional (I), and importantly, the Historic Overlay District (HOD). For properties within the HOD, any exterior changes, including additions or significant renovations, often require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB) in addition to standard building permits. Regulations typically cover aspects like lot setbacks (front, side, rear), building height, lot coverage, and impervious surface limits.

Our team at Union County Contracting possesses in-depth knowledge of Lewisburg's zoning laws. We help you navigate these complexities, ensuring your project complies with all local requirements from the outset, especially crucial for historical properties. We can guide you through the process, identifying the necessary permits and helping to prepare the required documentation.

Streamlining Your Lewisburg Project: The Zoning Application Process

Before any construction or major renovation can begin in Lewisburg, obtaining the necessary permits, starting with a Lewisburg Borough Zoning Application, is a crucial step. This application ensures that your proposed project aligns with the Borough's zoning ordinance. Key information required typically includes details about the applicant and property owner, the site address, a description of existing and proposed uses, and specific project details like lot dimensions, setbacks, and building specifications.

For properties within the Historic Overlay District, the application will also involve specific submissions for the Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB) to obtain a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior work. Union County Contracting is experienced in preparing and submitting these applications, helping you gather all necessary documentation, including detailed site plans, building plans, and elevation drawings. We aim to make this often-complex process as smooth and efficient as possible, saving you time and potential headaches.
