Key results: the council enacted a rezoning ordinance for a Cherry Street parcel, approved special-event and public-works items, and scheduled a special meeting to consider amendments to the borough’s property-maintenance code. Most votes were passed unanimously by voice vote or roll call.

Summary of formal actions recorded in the meeting (motion text condensed):

- Rezoning — Enact an ordinance to rezone tax parcel 05-20-1796-001 (Cherry Street, approx. 4.48 acres) from R-3 high-density residential to Urban Mixed Use. Motion by Councilor Schalles; second Deputy Mayor Landis. Outcome: approved (council record indicates unanimous vote).

- Property-maintenance ordinance special meeting — Council directed the solicitor to draft and advertise an ordinance amending Chapter 183 (property maintenance) and set a special meeting for May 23 at 8:00 a.m. Motion passed.

- Special event permit — Approved Hope Station Juneteenth celebration on June 14, 2025 (100 block West Penn Street) contingent on insurance and cost reimbursement. Motion passed on voice vote.

Public works and procurement approvals (motions passed):

- Awarded low bid for water-treatment-plant residual waste disposal to Commonwealth Disposal, Inc. ($0.05 per gallon).
- Authorized engineering services contract with Herbert, Rowland & Grubick (HRG) for the 2025 sanitary sewer rehabilitation program ($31,300), subject to solicitor review.
- Authorized return of financial security to Penn Holding Group LP for Sunoco diesel pumps project ($60,000 return to reflect final work).
- Authorized reduction in financial security for 650 North College Street land development ($17,340 reduction to reflect final work).
- Amended Gannett Fleming engineering contract to add permitting and environmental compliance for the 2023 water transmission main project (additional $25,800), subject to solicitor review.
- Approved replacement of the wastewater-treatment-plant catwalk by PSI under the Commonwealth cooperative purchasing program ($125,413).
- Approved purchase of gravity filter media from Unifilts Corporation ($65,300) and installation by PSI ($122,094) for the water-treatment plant via Commonwealth cooperative purchasing programs.

Most public-works motions were moved by members of the Public Works committee and carried on voice vote or unanimous consent; specific contract amounts and vendors are recorded in staff recommendations and the meeting minutes.

What happens next: Several approvals direct follow-up actions — e.g., solicitor review of contract amendments, release or reduction of developer financial securities, and typical procurement and permitting steps. The rezoning triggers the land-development review process for any future site plan; the scheduled property-maintenance hearing will proceed on the date set by council and be advertised per borough procedures.

The meeting record shows council acted on routine business, proclamations and presentations earlier in the session (EMS Week proclamation; announcements about Carlisle Pride Week), then moved through consent and regular agenda items with multiple unanimous approvals.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May Borough Council Meeting & Public Hearing","oneSentenceSummary","At its May meeting Carlisle Borough Council adopted the Cherry Street rezoning ordinance, approved multiple public-works contracts, authorized event permitting and scheduled a special meeting to amend the property-maintenance code; most items passed on voice vote or unanimous consent.","taxTitle","Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania","taxId",57379,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":44,"_46":79,"_48":80,"_50":81,"_52":82,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":83,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":84,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6558366,"Carlisle council schedules workshop discussion after councilor raises resolution opposing U.S. takeover of Gaza",852,4068000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3271127-513820528023b8aa014718020abc8417&start=4068&end=4920","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3271127-513820528023b8aa014718020abc8417/thumbnail_4068000.jpg","/articles/6558366/Carlisle/Cumberland-County/Pennsylvania/Carlisle-council-schedules-workshop-discussion-after-councilor-raises-resolution-opposing-US-takeover-of-Gaza","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6558366-9e53c2b2a2349fe3f8ebe0a073ea837b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156047&Signature=oyzgHyeWKO72xRNDy1JaZ0NTGMdE3xBLzNjyD9uxUhlYrsFkXi1yYFuTkIcB7bnfpgnKEXXibsLoCbiXavnmu9XHm1446FtGOSxalsvH6uotFG4bk7itcS2kvXXfYFnp0ekVScCCGQy33XBHolEUmcQB~CgwS0ZBtA4eZRQqpdOAZDdWyyR~e7uyCL~hsG3yBt6ZfXYOBvhMF4n-WU7wd4lOsN5TobUx6QbdOrqdLQ2Xd1Ad-0x4ApHdQqdLjXtqMogCd7ysypIns5mRPpDWmUKeCm3qx4~xXoFmofBNFB4rlXkFfxW-sF8lxvY-TJpHSDItrnmxGxIeFiap7pPitw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A councilor raised a proposed resolution at the May 2025 council meeting calling for a public discussion and expressing opposition to U.S. takeover of Gaza if such action were to be pursued. The councilor described humanitarian concerns, cited child mortality and caloric deficits reported from northern Gaza, and read remarks including: “All that resolution says really is we should not, as a country, take over Gaza. Period.”

Councilors debated whether the item should remain on the table or proceed to a vote that night. Several members expressed support for holding a public conversation and for placing the matter on an upcoming workshop agenda rather than taking immediate action. One councilor noted the difficulty of addressing large, global crises from a small municipal platform but said a local statement could still matter symbolically. Another councilor said the resolution felt insufficient but supported discussion at a workshop to hear community views.

A motion was made to keep the item on the table and schedule a public workshop meeting to discuss the resolution; the council voted unanimously to table the item and place it on the June 4 workshop agenda for public comment and further consideration. Councilors said they would invite public comment and aim to handle the matter transparently under sunshine rules rather than deciding the resolution behind closed doors.

The council did not adopt any policy at the May meeting; they will discuss the language and possible action at the scheduled workshop and invite public testimony.","A councilor introduced a draft resolution urging the United States not to take control of Gaza; councilors agreed to discuss the item at a June workshop and formally tabled the resolution for public consideration.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_46":91,"_48":92,"_50":93,"_52":94,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":95,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":96,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6558371,"Carlisle council rezones 4.48-acre Cherry Street parcel to urban mixed use after public hearing",5039,1000,5040000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3271127-513820528023b8aa014718020abc8417&start=1&end=5040","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3271127-513820528023b8aa014718020abc8417/thumbnail_1000.jpg","/articles/6558371/Carlisle/Cumberland-County/Pennsylvania/Carlisle-council-rezones-448-acre-Cherry-Street-parcel-to-urban-mixed-use-after-public-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6558371-3d3b849baadb0e9194e05a59e3b63786/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156047&Signature=ELTMQRace-vnqkaik~uc0EKniEWCCEuV1~Fq5uCcj~38FB37XDNtfxqwZ7sFbD00sIv5jOUwhbMeqn4v6VYaEv8Zn9GJpI~xlzQtajjOFCynld40mau44Des-C62lDqRiRFbd9ntTlpM8dYfOvBCU~e7gc0ttBrtbDNae~R206TrgJ4KwY56OHP3xddz7YWFrszRL8YdWIO466ETSKEI8Zn~Vy8Y2~7j850aNtnHP7A0aH3CAk4OmJBC7S6yg0UEYwv3tr1YlQ8ih~AfR3MijDytPs5u-dXRDoQoHFw-zBh0JhpjJ-EigGOvm4KqTX2l-f3dQEjJ-e6CqN15BKOH2g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Carlisle Borough Council on May 2025 voted to amend the borough zoning map to reclassify a 4.48-acre parcel on Cherry Street (Lehi County tax parcel 05-20-1796-001) from R-3 high-density residential to Urban Mixed Use. The change was made after a public hearing during which the applicant and multiple neighbors spoke.

The rezoning ordinance was introduced for enactment at the hearing. The applicant, represented by attorney Hubert Gilroy of Oz Fund, Inc., said the zoning change would allow a mixed-use redevelopment that could include residential units plus small-scale nonresidential uses such as daycare or medical/counseling offices. Gilroy said the applicant filed only a sketch plan and has not completed a survey; he described the sketch as showing roughly a dozen apartments plus about 10,000 square feet of nonresidential space but said no final land-development plan has been submitted.

Neighbors who live on Lincoln Street, which borders the parcel, expressed concerns about notice, traffic, safety for children who play in the street, and the potential intensity of new uses. Patrick Andrews, who identified himself as a Lincoln Street resident, told council he and his neighbors received no mailed notice and said an on-site sign was posted in a way that allowed it to be washed away. Several residents asked council to delay action to allow more outreach; others said they opposed the rezoning outright and worried it would make the block busier and less safe for children.

Borough staff and the borough planner explained the difference between the existing R-3 zoning and the Urban Mixed Use district. Planner Jared (first name only in record) said Urban Mixed Use permits similar residential density to R-3 but adds design standards meant to integrate redevelopment into neighborhood context and also allows small-scale neighborhood commercial uses that R-3 does not. He and other council members noted that because the parcel is under five acres, some mixed-use open-space requirements that apply to larger tracts would not be mandatory; the applicant, however, has indicated willingness in the sketch to include open space and a nonresidential component.

Multiple speakers — including residents and the applicant — emphasized that a rezoning enables uses but does not itself approve a specific building plan. The planner and the applicant confirmed a future land-development plan would trigger a separate review with transportation, stormwater and other technical studies and a required neighborhood outreach meeting before final approval.

After public comment and council discussion, Councilor Schalles moved to enact the ordinance amending Chapter 255 of the borough code to rezone the parcel to Urban Mixed Use; Deputy Mayor Landis seconded. The motion passed by unanimous vote and the ordinance was enacted. Council members who spoke during the hearing reiterated that the zoning change is intended to provide stronger design standards for future development, and they encouraged residents to participate in any forthcoming land-development review.

The next steps: the zoning map change enables mixed uses but does not authorize a particular site plan. If the applicant or another developer files a land-development plan, that plan will go to the Planning Commission for public review and then return to council as required. The borough’s subdivision and land-development rules also require the applicant to notify and meet with neighbors within 200 feet of the property before filing a formal plan, officials said.

Speakers and participants (selected): Hubert Gilroy (attorney for applicant, Oz Fund, Inc.), Jeremy Beacons (applicant representative), Chris Champy (engineer for applicant), Jared (borough planner), Mayor Sean Schultz, Patrick Andrews (Lincoln Street resident), Kate Mullen (Lincoln Street resident), Tim Moyer (Franklin Street resident), Joshua Castro (Cherry Street resident) and other residents who spoke during public comment.

Council and staff emphasized that the rezoning is a map amendment and that detailed design, traffic, stormwater and other site-specific matters will be reviewed through the land-development process, when there will be additional opportunities for public comment.","After a public hearing and extended public comment, Carlisle Borough Council voted to amend the zoning map to reclassify a 4.48-acre Cherry Street parcel from R-3 high-density residential to Urban Mixed Use, clearing the way for future land-development review.","actionData","errors"]
