Planning Commission approves OI‑2 amendment, clarifies height and density
The commission approved text amendments to the OI‑2 district to clarify intent, correct townhouse/stacked‑townhouse height to 38 ft, allow a ball field to count toward open space, and set density at 12 units/acre (15 with affordable housing); the R3 parcel requires further solicitor review.
The full story
The Kennett Square Planning Commission voted to approve a text amendment to the OI‑2 zoning provisions after staff incorporated comments from the Chester County Planning Commission and the borough solicitor. The approved changes clarify the purpose (emphasizing mixed‑income, pedestrian‑friendly development), reaffirm that multifamily remains a conditional use, and move certain standards—such as landscaping and open space—into the SALDO. The amendment specifies that a ball field may count toward open space and that architecture must align with borough character via SALDO.
