Plaza hearing
BATH TWP.: The township's zoning commission is holding a public hearing at 7 p.m. Thursday for the West Market Plaza.
The plaza's owners are seeking a zoning text amendment that would allow for multiple business names to be placed on the shopping center monument signs. The township's zoning rules only permit the name of a shopping center on a monument sign, not the names of individual tenants.
Two years ago, a similar request was denied by Bath trustees.
