Centre County Planning Commission approves 90‑day time extensions for six pending land‑development files; cancels subcommittee meeting

At its June 16, 2026 meeting, the Centre County Planning Commission approved staff‑recommended 90‑day time extensions for six pending land‑development files. The motion, made by Deb Simoncek and seconded by Lisa Ford, carried.

The time‑extension requests and the recorded fee requirements were: Confer Solar Project (Walker Township) — 6th request; $150 fee required; PA Game Commission North Central Regional Office (Benner Township) — 7th request; $200 fee required; Mingoville Solar (Walker Township) — 9th request; $300 fee required; 322 Self Storage Expansion (Potter Township) — 14th request; $550 fee required. Two other requests listed (Homeland Manufacturing Services building addition, Benner Township — 1st request; The Cascade land development, Benner Township — 3rd request) were noted as no fee required for the extension.

Staff recommended the 90‑day extensions to allow applicants additional time to complete outstanding conditions and obtain required permits or recorded documents. The agenda also noted that the Major Subdivision & Land Development Subcommittee meeting for June was canceled because no plans were submitted for that cycle. The commission approved the minutes of May 19, 2026 (motion by Bob Dannaker, second by Denny Hameister) and adjourned at 6:30 p.m. after routine items.

Next steps: applicants must submit the outstanding documentation or pay the listed extension fees where applicable; staff will process the extensions and continue to track outstanding plan requirements.
