Board approves amended final plan to add street lighting at Neshaminy Springs development
Summary
Supervisors granted amended final land-development approval for 66 townhouse units at Neshaminy Springs (1700 Woodburn Road) to add dark‑sky-compliant street lighting; staff and the Pulte Homes representative said lights meet requirements and tree swaps to native species are acceptable.
Township staff summarized that the Neshaminy Springs subdivision (previously granted approval in 2024) is under construction under new developer Pulte Homes and the current amendment requests installation of street lights for 66 townhouse units. Planner Jim Ennis said the amendment was reviewed by township consultants and the planning commission and that no new waivers are required; a Pulte representative confirmed the proposed fixtures meet dark‑sky standards and that the developer would accommodate requested tree species changes.
Supervisor questions focused on environmental and dark‑sky concerns; the developer said the lighting meets the requirement and the proposed change to native trees is acceptable. The board voted to grant amended final land‑development approval with conditions that the applicant comply fully with subdivision and zoning ordinances and address any remaining review comments; motion carried 5–0.
Staff noted the public-review and consultant steps remain in place for any further design changes.
