SANATOGA PA – A list of what has been described as 10 “minor” changes requested by North Coventry (PA) Township to the future land use map of the Pottstown Metropolitan Regional Comprehensive Plan were accepted Tuesday (Sept. 7, 2010) by the Lower Pottsgrove Board of Commissioners following a public hearing.
Changes to the map primarily affect North Coventry Township.
Lower Pottsgrove is among the group of area municipalities whose determinations on how real estate will be used are guided in part by their voluntary participation in the plan. Its intent is to make land use patterns across the region somewhat compatible and consistent.
The amendments requested by North Coventry “mostly affect small properties,” and those primarily businesses, Lower Pottsgrove Assistant Manager Alyson Elliott told board members. The changes, she said, will “make those land uses more consistent” with the regional map. All have been recommended by the regional planing committee, she said.
Commissioner Michael McGroarty, who is Lower Pottsgrove’s representative to the regional group, endorsed the changes. There was no public comment during the required hearing, and following it the board unanimously approved them. Commissioner James Phillips was absent and did not vote.
