Lititz Borough Council is taking significant steps to address the pressing issue of housing affordability and diversity in the community. During the December 2024 meeting, council members discussed the need for a broader range of housing types to meet the needs of residents, particularly as the market increasingly favors higher-priced homes.
The council highlighted the findings from the recently developed comprehensive plan, which emphasizes the importance of community conversations around housing. A key focus will be on addressing the "missing middle" in housing options, which refers to the gap between high-end homes and affordable units. The council is committed to exploring actionable strategies to enhance the housing landscape in Lititz.
In addition to discussions on housing, the council reviewed the ongoing Littitz Springs storage project. The project, which has been in development since 2016, is now under new ownership and is proposing to increase the height of two planned buildings from two to four stories. This change raises concerns regarding compliance with zoning ordinances, particularly in relation to screening requirements from adjacent residential areas. The Planning Commission is actively reviewing the proposal to ensure it meets the necessary standards for architectural screening.
These discussions reflect the council's proactive approach to urban planning and community development, aiming to create a more inclusive and accessible housing market while ensuring that new developments align with the borough's zoning regulations. As the council moves forward, residents are encouraged to participate in upcoming Planning Commission meetings to engage in these critical conversations.
