JCPAC (Joint Comprehensive Plan Action Committee)
Over the next 12 months, Dover Township and Dover Borough will be preparing a Joint Comprehensive Plan. The Township and the Borough will be working collaboratively with the York County Planning Commission (YCPC) and the community to develop the plan. In order to provide guidance to the planning consultant, the Township and Borough have created a Joint Comprehensive Planning Advisory Committee (JCPAC). The JCPAC will meet monthly with a representative of the YCPC and planning consultant to conduct activities associated with preparation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan. JCPAC meetings are open to the public. The public may participate as observers and provide comments/input at the end of each meeting. Public meetings designed specifically for the community will be scheduled and announced separately.

    DRAFT Joint Comprehensive Plan: Growth Management Plan for Dover Borough / Dover Township Region
    This regional growth management plan was developed through a collaborative planning process that integrated technical analysis with community input. The plan is a blue-print or guide for future development and redevelopment within the region with a planning horizon of 2030. The content of this plan is based upon the following supporting documents: Existing Conditions Report, Build-Out Analysis Report, Summary of Community Input and Zoning Analysis. This plan provides an update of facts and statistics, results of analysis, vision statement, plan goals and objectives, growth management strategies, explanation of various plan elements and implementation plan. This plan builds upon the basic planning principles outlined in the Comprehensive Plan Addendum, August 1994, for Dover Township and replaces the 1964 Dover Borough Comprehensive Plan.

    Build-Out Analysis Report [Draft]
    This report analyzes land capacity and demand using a variety of methods. Those methods include a build-out analysis, housing capacity analysis and fiscal impact assessment. The build-out analysis depicts the probable future scenario under current zoning regulations for existing development and lands available for development. This analysis will be augmented with analysis of an additional scenario referred to as the preferred future scenario once further committee and community input and planning analysis is completed. The housing capacity analysis projects possible housing types based upon market demand for lands available for development. And, the fiscal impact assessment evaluates the results of the build-out analysis considering projection of housing types to determine potential tax revenues generated under the probable future scenario. This analysis will support development of a future land use plan for the joint comprehensive plan. Note: Maps not included in text. Download maps for complete document.
