Summary

The Commission recommended a comprehensive plan amendment to address nonconforming warehousing and distribution uses in the Light Industrial (I1) zone, encouraging adapted uses in I1 while noting current restrictions on warehousing.

Attorney Sean Shultz told the Commission that warehousing and distribution are not permitted in the township’s Light Industrial (I1) zone and that the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is intended to address existing nonconforming uses by encouraging adapted uses compatible with I1. Commissioners voted to forward the amendment to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation for approval.

Commissioners discussed the implications for parcels currently operating in ways that may not conform with I1 standards and directed staff to include clarifying language so future uses are aligned with zoning intent.
