The Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code (MPC) originally enacted as Act 247, in 1968, establishes the basic authority for the exercise of municipal land use controls in Pennsylvania. The MPC provides for the establishment of zoning hearing boards where municipalities have enacted a zoning ordinance pursuant to the enabling laws.

The Board consists of three members and one Alternate, each of whom is a full-time resident and qualified elector of the Township of Upper St. Clair. Members are appointed by the Board of Commissioners to serve for a three-year term.
