Planning director briefs council on courthouse and street projects as rezoning and solar district proposals advance
Summary
Jeremy Ward briefed council on the McAliley Street and Courthouse Improvement Project; council approved a prioritized community needs list, considered a Walkers Mill bond release and advanced first readings for a Metker rezoning and a solar farm district text amendment.
Jeremy Ward, Chester County’s Planning and Development Director, presented updates on the McAliley Street and Courthouse Improvement Project during the April 6 council meeting and answered council questions about project status and next steps.
Council unanimously approved the county’s Prioritized Community Needs Assessment List on a motion by Councilman William Killian and second by Councilman Roy Brunson (vote 7-0). Ward also brought forward a request concerning the Chester County Planning Commission that Council approved by the same vote tally.
The meeting record shows discussion of a Walkers Mill bond release; County Attorney Nicole Workman participated in that item. Council placed two planning-related items on first reading: CCMA26-02 (Colton and Curttis Metker rezoning request for approximately 27.5 acres off Lowrys Highway, to change from Restricted Industrial District ID-1 to Multi-family Residential District RG-1) and CCTA26-03 (a zoning ordinance text amendment to add a Solar Farm District and design standards). Both first readings were moved and seconded and recorded with 7-0 votes in favor of moving forward.
During the public hearing and comment period, resident Robin Dodson thanked Planning and Development Director Ward for listening and incorporating public feedback into the Comprehensive Plan.
The transcript records Planning Commission approvals where noted; specific technical details of the McAliley Street and Courthouse project (schedules, budgets, contractors) were not provided in the excerpt. Council directed staff to proceed with the items as placed on the agenda and to follow up in subsequent workshops and meetings as needed.
