On February 12, 2025 at 6:30 p.m., the Board of Supervisors will consider the adoption of an ordinance amending section 325-13, "Town Center Mixed Use District," of Chapter 325, "Zoning," of the West Whiteland Township Code of Ordinances to establish a limit on the density of residential development.
The Town Center (TC) zoning district allows for a wide range of uses at the highest density allowed in the Township, including stores, restaurants, offices, and housing, including apartments. While the regulations already limit the size and height of buildings, there is currently no stated limit on the density of housing, which is expressed as dwelling units per acre. The proposed amendment will affect ONLY the TC zoning district, imposing a maximum of six dwelling units per acre and prohibiting all dwelling types except apartment buildings. Other types of housing will still be permitted in other parts of the Township at a lower density.
If you have questions, please contact John Weller, Director of Planning and Zoning at jweller@westwhiteland.org or 610-363-9525, x3213.
