Council approves PDD amendment, parking ratio and use list for Collins Road commercial project; development agreement expiration extended
Lancaster County Council on second reading approved amendments to a planned development district (PDD 26, Collins Road) submitted by UHF Development Group LLC, including realignment of density and lot lines between two villages in the PDD, an agreed parking ratio for flex ("lehi") product, and a clarified, consolidated list of permitted uses for the village areas.

Attorney Elena Kiewit, representing UHF Development, told the council the applicant accepted the staff‑recommended parking standard of one parking space per 450 square feet for the specified product (lehi/flex) and had worked with staff and Councilmember Luis to produce a comprehensive, clarified list of permitted uses for Villages F and H. Planning staff reported additional small clarifications to permitted‑use language were agreed earlier the same day and will be included at third reading.

Council also approved a motion to extend the related development agreement expiration date. The applicant requested additional time because the development agreement's prior expiration date was approaching; the council amended the expiration to Dec. 31, 2027 to provide buffer for approvals and leasing.

Planning staff said light assembly and showrooms were explicitly clarified in the permitted uses and that no outdoor storage would be allowed in rental establishments (automotive rental excluded by agreement). Staff noted the update will be reflected in the final ordinance at third reading; the council approved the second reading as amended.

The vote on the amended ordinance was unanimous. Staff indicated the council would review the final permitted‑use list and the extended expiration at the next hearing.
