Board adopts regional comprehensive plan with Manchester-specific edits
Summary
The Manchester Township Board of Supervisors adopted a draft regional comprehensive plan on May 13, 2025, approving recommended edits to add clearer planning guidance for Manchester and municipality-specific sections. The vote was unanimous (Ayes-5, Nays-0).
The Manchester Township Board of Supervisors on May 13 adopted a draft regional comprehensive plan developed with Conewago Township and North York Borough, approving edits recommended by supervisors and residents to clarify how the plan applies specifically to Manchester Township.
Dean Severson of Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc., provided background on the draft plan and its regional coordination. Supervisor Debra K. McCune said the document contained good information but lacked clear planning guidelines for Manchester and suggested formatting changes to clarify goals. Chair Rodney K. Brandstedter agreed that changes or supplements should be included to enhance the draft.
Resident Cathy Long suggested breaking the document into municipality-specific sections, and resident Ramon Rios asked whether York County could amend or reject the township’s plan if it disagreed with Manchester’s approach. Supervisor Harry M. Long, Jr. moved to adopt the draft with the recommended edits and additions; Supervisor David J. Chiaverini seconded. The motion carried unanimously (Ayes-5, Nays-0).
The board did not specify a final adoption date or exact language of the edits at the meeting; staff and the regional subcommittee were directed to incorporate the recommended clarifications before final publication.
