Council approves amendment to Route 73 South redevelopment plan to spur Northern Triangle development
Summary
Council members approved Ordinance 2024-12 to amend zoning in the Route 73 South Redevelopment Area; officials said the change aims to make the Northern Triangle more developable and that warehouse construction on site is about 65% through slab work with a projected CO in January 2025.
The Palmyra Borough Council on July 15 approved Ordinance 2024-12, adopting an amendment to the Route 73 South Redevelopment Plan intended to make the northern portion of the redevelopment area more developable.
Andrew Brewer of Maraziti Falcon, LLP described the ordinance's intent and explained that, if the governing body approved consistency, the matter would go before the Land Use Board to determine consistency with the master plan; following a favorable Land Use Board finding, the governing body would return for final consideration. Councilmember Jessica O'Connor moved to approve the ordinance; Mrs. McCann seconded. The roll call vote was 4–0 in favor (Dr. Cloud and President Howard absent), and the ordinance was approved.
Separately, Mr. Gray reported progress on warehouse one at the redevelopment site: sight grading, drive sub-base, eastern parking paving, curbing and stone base work along the south, east and west sides, and a building slab approximately 65% complete. Officials said the contractor is on schedule for a certificate of occupancy targeted for late January 2025.
The council also noted that other redevelopment matters on the agenda — Outlaw Training & Fitness (620–622 Highland Ave) — had no new updates, and that Sea Box / ELM Office LLC (321 E. Broad Street) is delayed due to internal circulation issues in the plans.
Next steps: the redevelopment ordinance proceeds to the Land Use Board for a consistency review as described by the borough solicitor and outside counsel.
