PD-77-2

The request was a revised proposal for a narrow, deep parcel on Springdale Road next to a Township fire station. An earlier 36-unit proposal was withdrawn after adverse recommendations. The revised plan reduced the project to 24 two-bedroom units, shortened and moved the building farther from Springdale Road, reduced required parking from 72 to 48 spaces, and added landscaping and open space.

The Regional Planning Commission and Rural Zoning Commission recommended approval, while nearby residents raised concerns about traffic, schools, safety, and property values. The County Commissioners approved the amendment with conditions limiting the development to 24 units, requiring general conformance with the plan, paved and drained parking, sewer and drainage approval, controlled lighting, detailed landscaping, compliant signage, engineered driveway access, final plan approval before construction, and completion of all conditions before occupancy.
