Campion pointed out that this ordinance is different than
the ordinance that was adopted in February 2008 in rela-
tion to the Pilot Service Station application to the planning
board because that was a zoning ordinance that pertained
to the distance between a service station and various public
school buildings. This ordinance, he said, pertains to drug
free zones in the township.
That Pilot application was denied by the planning board
but a new Pilot plan was presented to the township’s zoning
board, and that plan was approved in January 2010.
