Planning commission tables joint zoning amendment on warehouses and flags potential rezoning along Route 422
Summary
The commission tabled consideration of a Southwestern Berks County joint zoning ordinance amendment on warehouses, truck terminals and data centers until May to allow review and coordination with South Heidelberg Township and Wernersville; commissioners also agreed to study potential rezoning along the Route 422 corridor at a future meeting.
At the April 13 meeting, the Lower Heidelberg Township Planning Commission reviewed a proposed amendment to the Southwestern Berks County Joint Zoning Ordinance concerning warehouses, logistics centers, truck terminals and data centers that was proposed by South Heidelberg Township.
Commission members tabled the matter until the May meeting to allow time for review. The minutes state that joint planning commission members will work with South Heidelberg Township and Wernersville to schedule a meeting to discuss the proposed ordinance amendment.
Separately, commissioners discussed potential rezoning of properties along the Route 422 corridor and directed staff to place that item on a future agenda for further discussion and a potential map amendment. The minutes do not record detailed substantive debate, amendments, or votes on either the joint ordinance amendment or the Route 422 rezoning — both items were left for further consideration.
The commission did not take a final position on the ordinance amendment or on rezoning along Route 422; both items remain pending and are scheduled for future consideration.
