Board approves storage use at former warehouse on East Ary Street
Summary
The Norristown Zoning Hearing Board granted a variance allowing Red Badge Management to use a one‑story warehouse at 307 East Ary Street for low-intensity storage, finding it a less intense use than the site's historical industrial operations.
The board granted a variance that will allow Red Badge Management LLC to use an existing warehouse at 307 East Ary Street for low-intensity storage related to property-management operations.
Counsel Mike Clement and principal Robert Burch described the site as a long-standing warehouse used by a nearby meat-packing/distribution business; Clement said the proposed use would be low intensity—“maybe one trip a day, maybe once a week”—and would not involve retail sales or exterior changes. The board heard photographs and assessment sketches showing the parcel’s long-term industrial/warehouse listing in public records. Municipal staff acknowledged the property’s existing warehouse status and did not register public opposition. After closing the hearing, the board voted to approve the requested variance. The applicant indicated plans to make interior improvements and, if needed in future, would return to the board before expanding to subleasing or different storage models.
