A. Establishment of a differential tax zone within a service area may be initiated either by the introduction of an ordinance or by the filing of a request with the Borough Mayor. A request must be accompanied with:

1. Service area minutes showing the approval of the service area of the request or signatures of a majority of real property owners within the proposed differential tax zone;

2. An appropriate legal description, by parcel, of the area to be included in the differential tax zone; and

3. A description of the additional service(s) to be provided within the differential tax zone, the approximate cost of the additional service(s), and the proposed additional property tax levy.

B. After receipt of an appropriate request, the Borough Mayor shall review the proposed differential tax zone, prepare an appropriate ordinance, and forward it to the Assembly along with any relevant information and the Mayor’s recommendation.

C. A particular service area may not, at any given time, have more than one differential tax zone. In addition, Borough-wide no more than 10 differential tax zones may lawfully exist at any given time. (Ord. 2008-11 § 2, 2008. 2004 Code § 14.01.091.)
