Planning Commission

We want to hear from you. Ambler Borough is updating its comprehensive plan. The plan provides a vision for the borough’s development over the next 5, 10, 20 years. Your opinion will help us understand community goals and priorities. Click here to take our online community survey! The survey will be open to the public until February 28, 2025. Results of the survey will be discussed and analyzed by the Borough Planning Commission at future monthly meetings.

The Ambler Borough Planning Commission consists of nine residents who serve appointed by Borough Council for staggered terms of four years. These dedicated volunteers with various backgrounds and incite are tasked with being the starting point for most development and changes in the Borough as the first step in the planning process.

The functions of the Planning Commission are to review subdivisions, land development plans, conditional use applications and lot line changes, assist in development of zoning and other Ordinance at the direction of Borough Council. The Planning Commission works toward providing for the coordinated development of the Borough and the general welfare of its people.

Because planning is a continuous process which shapes and guides the physical growth of the Borough in harmony with its social and economic needs, the Planning Commission urges all members of the public to attend its meetings and make known their views.

Regular monthly meetings are held in Ambler Borough Meeting Hall, the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7pm. Special meetings and date changes will be announced and advertised as scheduled. Materials and agenda for the meeting are posted a day in advance of each meeting. All meeting minutes and agendas are posted on the Borough website under government-boards / committees – planning commission.
