Votes at a glance: planning commission grants time extensions, stormwater modification and adopts annual report; reorganization approved
Summary
At its April 22 meeting the Planning Commission approved time extensions for two land-development plans, granted a stormwater modification for a car wash/storage site, accepted most of its annual report subject to corrections, and re-elected its chair and vice chair.
The City of Reading Planning Commission conducted several formal actions April 22. The commission’s April meeting recorded voice votes on time extensions, a stormwater modification, acceptance of an annual report and commission reorganization.
Time extensions - Galware Works phases 3–5: The commission granted a 120-day time extension for the Galware Works Phase 2 (phases 3–5) land development plan to allow time for planning-module approvals and zoning releases related to proposed apartments. The motion passed by voice vote; the transcript records a voice "aye" vote and does not list roll-call tallies. - 630 South Ninth Street (also noted as 601 South Ninth Street parking): The commission granted a time extension for this land-development submittal through July 31, 2025 (90 days). Staff noted the applicant also submitted a revised plan for consideration next month; commissioners requested the property owner remove parked vehicles from the lot until the project is complete. The extension passed by voice vote.
Stormwater modification - Burn Street Car Wash: The commission approved a stormwater management modification to Section 505.125 for the Burn Street Car Wash (and formerly Burn Street Storage) site. Planning staff noted the waiver/request had previously been considered when the site was two lots; the modification was approved by voice vote.
Annual report and housekeeping - Planning Commission annual report (2024): The commission moved to accept the draft annual report with necessary additions and corrections and approved it by voice vote. Staff said minor edits remain and the commission will finalize resolution numbers and items in subsequent meetings.
Reorganization - Chair and vice chair: The commission re-elected Wayne Bealer as chair and Wilson Piese as vice chair for the 2025–26 commission year by voice vote after nominations from the floor.
Procedural notes: Many motions were processed via voice votes without recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript; when a named mover or seconder was audible the meeting minutes should be consulted for official sponsorship details and any recorded vote totals.
