ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 22nd day of March, 2022, 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 of Pennsylvania erroneously applied an
aggrieved party standard that was repealed by the legislature and replaced
by a provision granting [Petitioner] the right to appeal since it was deemed
a party and opposed the proposed zoning relief during the underlying
[zoning hearing board] hearing.
(2) Whether the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania erroneously entered an
order dismissing the appeal due to lack of standing pursuant to
[Pennsylvania Rule of Appellate Procedure] 1114(b)(7)] where [Petitioner]
who was located only two (2) blocks from the subject property had a right
to an appeal even if an aggrieved party standard is applied.
Justice Brobson did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
