Votes at a glance: Upper Moreland commissioners approve waivers, zoning ads, sewer ordinance (June 1, 2026)
Summary
At its June 1 meeting the board approved a set of routine and project-specific actions — including a land-development waiver for Texas Roadhouse, a construction-trailer exception, authorization to advertise TC1/TC2 zoning changes, and a sewer-connection ordinance that passed 6–1.
Upper Moreland Township commissioners approved a series of motions and resolutions at their June 1 meeting, including project-level waivers, authorizations to advertise zoning hearings and a sewer-connection ordinance.
Key actions and outcomes
- Resolution R2026-12: Land-development waiver for Texas Roadhouse (2575 Maryland Road) — approved. The committee noted the waiver covers land development only; the project still must meet township ordinances.
- Motion to table the metal policy — approved (tabled to allow staff review of updates).
- Resolution R2026-13: Exception for a construction trailer — approved. The resolution allows two separate trailers to be merged into a single on-site construction office.
- Authorization to advertise public hearing: Amendments to Town Center zoning (TC1 and TC2) — approved. The board directed staff and the Community Development Committee to review shared-parking provisions and present recommended changes.
- Ordinance No. 1776 (recorded in the transcript as the 'Bribery Road Sewer Connection') — approved 6–1. The ordinance would permit public sewer connections for five properties on Byberry/Bribery Road. Staff said four of the five property owners have indicated they wish to connect; the fifth does not. Staff estimated a per-house cost of about $15,000 for the public portion along the street but said that estimate is not finalized. One resident cast the lone recorded 'nay' during the vote.
- Authorization to advertise parking restrictions on Warminster Road (Ashley Drive to County Line Road) — approved. The police department will offer single-day parking permits for residents' special events.
- Approval of routine items: Treasurer's report and meeting minutes (May 2026) — approved.
Several items were noted as committee referrals for more detailed review (notably TC zoning and data-center restrictions). The board took no final action on zoning amendments at this meeting; public hearings will be advertised where required.
