The Sewickley Area Joint Zoning Ordinance woidd unit the boroughs of Sewickley, Sewickley Heights, Edgeworth - and Osbome into one zoning unit. Joint zoning essentially is a defense mechanism by which small municipalities can more readily withstand a zoning challenge. For instance, Sewickley Heights, which has no commercial district, could claim Sewickley’s business district for zoning purposes if the Heights were challenged by a developer. Four years ago, both Edgeworth and Osbome councils approved the joint-zoning ordinance. However, Sewickley and Sewickley Heights councils put the issue on ice. Sewickley Councilman Hugh A. McMaster III, who also sits on the planning commission, says the commission’s report on a possible joint-zoning ordinance will provide council with three items for consideration: a zoning map, a table of permitted uses and a negotiating position. McMaster, who opposed joint zoning ordinance four years ago before being elected to Sewickley Council, said he is now in favor of the measure. However, he would not provide details of the report before its review by council. The other three municipalites have passed this stage, reports McMaster. Edgeworth has- prepared a “position paper.” Planning commissions in Sewickley Heights, Osbome and Edgeworth “have gone to council for permission to proceed,” headds. Representatives attending the May meeting on joint zoning were McMaster, representing Sewickley; Phil Berg, Sewickley Heights; Don Fickenscher, Osborne; David Shaw, Edgeworth.
