In re Appeal of Thiokol Corp. from the Board of Commissioners
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
Thiokol Corporation appeals a Bucks County Common Pleas Court decision
Thiokol, owner of a 134-acre tract primarily zoned M-2-IIeavy Manufacturing,
Thiokol contends that the Zoning Ordinance is unconstitutionally exclusionary for failing to provide its “fair share ’ ’ of acreage within the Township for single family semi-detached homes or townhouse®. We disagree.
Since no additional evidence was taken below, our scope of review is limited to a determination of whether the Board of Commissioners abused its discretion or committed an error of law. Warwick Land Development Corp. v. Board of Supervisors of Warwick Township, 31 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 450, 376 A.2d 679 (1977).
We discern no abuse of discretion or error of law and affirm on the able opinion of Judge Bortner, Thiokel Corp. Appeal, Pa. D. & C.3rd (1980).
Order
