Protect PT v. Penn Twp. Zoning Hearing Bd.

PER CURIAM

Petition for Allowance of Appeal from the Order of the Commonwealth Court ORDER PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 5th day of January, 2021, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issues set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to all remaining issues. The issues, as stated by petitioner, are:

(1) Whether the Commonwealth Court's opinion conflicts with the Court's previous application of the capricious disregard of evidence standard and creates an issue of such substantial public importance as to require prompt and definitive resolution by this Honorable Court?

(2) Whether the Commonwealth Court's failure to meaningfully evaluate the cumulative impacts of developing multiple unconventional natural gas wells in close proximity to residential neighborhoods creating high probability of adverse, abnormal or detrimental effects on public health, safety and welfare and significantly altering the character of the community was an abuse of discretion which creates a question of first impression of such public importance which requires this Honorable Court's prompt and definitive resolution?
