Council conditionally approves McDonald’s land-development plan pending sewage module
Summary
Rochester Borough Council approved a conditional land-development plan for a new McDonald’s, requiring completion of a Sewage Facilities Planning Module; council recorded six 'YES' votes on the motion.
Rochester Borough Council voted March 16, 2026, to approve the McDonald’s land development project on the condition that the Sewage Facilities Planning Module is completed before final permits are issued. The motion was made by Council member Toni Bucher and seconded by Sam Piccinini; a roll-call vote recorded six yes votes (Bucher, Alford, Piccinini, Elmore, Rape, Brothers) and the motion carried.
McDonald’s representatives Randi Giacobbi and Collin Wisniewski told council they had completed the traffic study requested by North Way Church. Attorneys for North Way Church, Peter Zittell and Kelly Speicher, raised concerns about traffic and safety, which McDonald’s addressed during the presentation. The council’s approval is explicitly conditioned on completion of the borough’s sewage planning module before the project proceeds to permit stage.
