Hershey Soccer Club seeks zoning change to convert Par‑Line golf course into active recreation; Planning Commission will review
Summary
The Hershey Soccer Club requested a zoning overlay text amendment to allow conversion of the former Par‑Line Golf Course into an active recreation facility; the Board unanimously forwarded the amendment to the Planning Commission for review.
Anthony Potter, attorney and president of the Hershey Soccer Club, asked the Londonderry Township Board of Supervisors on May 5 to refer a zoning overlay text amendment to the Planning Commission that would permit the club to convert the former Par‑Line Golf Course into a multi‑purpose active recreation facility.
“This would allow HSC to convert the golf course into a multi‑purpose active recreation facility and allow active recreation facility as a conditional use in the agricultural overlay district,” Potter said, requesting a referral for Planning Commission review. The Board voted unanimously to send the proposed amendment to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation.
Board members discussed the Club’s lease arrangements for the Naaman Center (Team Challenge) and the time frames involved under the Municipalities Planning Code during the exchange. No changes to the ordinance were adopted at the meeting; the vote simply advanced the text amendment to the Planning Commission, which will hold a detailed review and provide a recommendation back to the Board.
What happens next: the Planning Commission will review the proposed text amendment, hold any required public hearings, and return a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. The Board did not set a timeline for the Commission’s review at the May 5 meeting.
