Commission recommends conditional-use approval for modified Eagle View Town Center plan
Summary
The Uwchlan Township Planning Commission recommended conditional-use approval for Hanken Group’s modifications to Town Center 2 — splitting an 82-unit building into two residential buildings totaling 93 units, adding a 4,800 sq ft office addition, adopting a shared-parking strategy and reserving one delivery parking spot; recommendation is contingent on review-letter compliance.
Neil (Hanken Group) returned to present a modification to Town Center 2: instead of the previously approved single four-story, 82-unit building over a garage, the applicant proposes two residential buildings totaling 93 units, a central patio/gathering area, improved streetscape, a trail link to Pennsylvania Drive and a 4,800-square-foot addition to the World Travel office building.
Neil said the architectural style will match existing Eagle View buildings, the plan reduces the combined building footprint compared with the previously proposed single structure, and the shared-parking approach relies on complementary demand (office daytime use, residential evening use). He emphasized that existing and proposed parking, circulation and mailroom arrangements should handle parcel deliveries, while staff recommended a reserved delivery parking space by the mailroom.
Commissioners probed site specifics, including whether the World Travel building would remain office (applicant said yes, that is the goal, though an adaptive-reskin option was shown), how on-site sewer and cap sewer infrastructure would tie to future public sewer, and whether Pennsylvania Drive should remain four lanes; a planning consultant had earlier advised retaining four lanes for capacity at the intersection, though commissioners discussed converting to two lanes with shoulders as a longer-term consideration.
On loading and deliveries, commissioners said mail and courier operations generally double-park in aisles; the applicant agreed to reserve one signed parking space for deliveries at the building entrance and to count that space toward the required parking ratio. Staff noted the township ordinance allows a 20% parking reduction where demand can be demonstrated; the applicant sought that reduction as part of the conditional-use package.
A commissioner moved to recommend conditional-use approval contingent on compliance with review letters from EB Walsh (May 27/28, 2026), HRG (May 26, 2026), Gloman (May 26, 2026), Derkov (May 21, 2026), SSM (May 22, 2026) and the Fire Marshal (May 28, 2026), and to include the delivery parking-space condition; the motion was seconded and the commission voted in favor.
Next steps: the commission’s favorable recommendation and the condition regarding the delivery space will be forwarded to the decision-making authority; engineering and final design items will be addressed in subsequent plan-review steps.
