(A) In no case shall a firing range, whether for primary or ancillary use, be exempted from obtaining the required conditional use permit.
(B) When a firing range facility or use is changed, modified or expanded to include additional or new types of ranges, operations or activities not permitted or included in the most current conditional use approval or legal pre-existing status, the submittal of a site plan indicating the addition, modification or change in operation of the firing range facility is required to be reviewed and receive Zoning Officer approval prior to commencement of the change, modification or expansion.
(C) Facilities currently operating under the Sport Shooting Range Protection Act of 1989 shall comply with the current regulations and requirements of this subchapter when the facility undergoes a change of use.
(D) In addition to the township’s typical notification process of conditional use permits for outdoor firing ranges, the applicant(s) shall make notification to all property owners within one mile of the proposed facility. Such notification shall include the same information in the notification provided by the township. Proof of such notification shall be provided by the applicant(s), either by certified mail receipt, sworn statement, or evidence of publication of a one-half page ad in a newspaper of local distribution. Request for conditional use approval of an indoor firing range shall follow the standard notification process conducted by the Planning Committee.
