Lantz v. Zoning Hearing Board of South Middleton Township

Opinion by

President Judge Crumlish, Jr.,

Delano M. Lantz and Bruce M. Harris appeal a Cumberland County Common Pleas Court order dismissing their appeal of the South Middleton Township Zoning Hearing Board’s decision that George and Jeanne Bear had acquired vested rights to a conditional use and building permit. We affirm.

The issue here is whether Lantz or Harris has standing to appeal the board’s decision. We hold that neither of them does. Lantz clearly lacks standing because he does not own property in South Middleton Township. See Cablevision v. Zoning Hearing Board of Easton, 13 Pa.…
