Reading Zoning Hearing Board: votes and immediate actions from March 11 meeting
Summary
On March 11 the board approved two North Fifth Street appeals and later approved relief for 509 North 6th Street (DPW lot) after a brief off‑record deliberation. Several other hearings were closed with decisions to be rendered next month.
The Reading Zoning Hearing Board recorded several formal actions during its March 11 meeting.
- Appeal 2601‑0001150 North Fifth Street: The board moved and seconded to approve the requested relief subject to conditions in the written decision; a recusal by Charlie Jones was recorded. The chair announced the motion carried and said a written decision will follow.
- Appeal 2601‑002A North Fifth Street: The board again moved and seconded to approve the requested relief subject to the conditions in the written decision; the chair announced the motion carried and said a copy of the decision would be mailed to the applicant.
- 509 North 6th Street (DPW lot): After briefly pausing the public record to deliberate in a breakout/executive session, the board returned to the public record, entertained a motion to approve the relief requested subject to the conditions and recommendations in the written decision, and the chair announced "Ayes have it." Board members noted concerns about the aesthetics of the installation but approved the relief.
Several other hearings (including the applications by Alexander Heredia and McKay Holdings LLC at 1216 Perkiomen Avenue and the sign variance at 1001 Lancaster Avenue) were closed; the board said it will render written decisions next month and mail copies to applicants or their representatives.
