NOCKAMIXON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 2025
What is a Comprehensive Plan?
Comprehensive plans serve as a blueprint for the future development and preservation of a community. A thoughtful, comprehensive planning process will consider information, data, and trends that are current and relevant to the municipality, along with community input, in order to create a vision and goals for the municipality. As a long-range document, it serves as a guide for land use decision making to be used by residents, the Nockamixon Township Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors, private and public stakeholders, and governmental agencies.
The plan forms the basis for decision making and priority setting for local codes and ordinances. Guidance will be provided in critical areas of community development, preservation, and quality of life. The community’s conservation priorities are considered along with other issues, such as water supply, housing, transportation, and recreation, to ensure and support residents' health, safety, and welfare.
Why is Nockamixon Updating its Plan?
The township's first comprehensive plan was adopted in 1967 and updated in 1988, with the most recent update in 2005. The Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code recommends that municipal comprehensive plans be updated to reflect current needs and visions for the community.
The Bucks County Planning Commission will be working with the Nockamixon Township Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors in reviewing and updating the 2005 plan. Below is the link to the Bucks County Planning Commission plan process for the Nockamixon Comprehensive Plan update including a timeline. Also below is a link for the current Nockamixon Township Comprehensive from 2005.

Next Steps:
Throughout 2025, the Bucks County Planners met with the Nockamixon Planning Commission and the appropriate committees to review updates to the Comprehensive Plan. At the January 6, 2026 Nockamixon Planning Commission meeting, the Commission completed their review and moved that final changes be made and the draft be sent to the Nockamixon Board of Supervisors for review. Once the Board has had the opportunity to review the draft, they will then announce at a public meeting the beginning of a 45-day public review period. At that time the Comp Plan draft will be available online, and a hard copy will be available at the township office for public review.
The Board of Supervisors meets every third Thursday of the month at 7:30 PM. The public is welcome to attend.
