Woll v. Monaghan Township

In Woll v. Monaghan Township, 948 A.2d 933 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2008), appeal denied, 600 Pa. 767, 967 A.2d 962 (2009), the Court explained: It is well settled law in Pennsylvania that a municipality may enact zoning ordinances reasonably restricting the property right to protect and promote the public health, safety and welfare under its police power. A zoning ordinance is presumed to be valid. Therefore, one challenging the zoning ordinance has the heavy burden of establishing its invalidity. Where the validity of the zoning ordinance is debatable, the legislative judgment of the governing body must control. Id. at 938.
