2619 Ridge Pike, Lower Providence, PA · 3,384 sq ft non-residential, commercial · 1.12 acres
About this project
A drive-through car wash is proposed on a 1.12-acre lot at 2619 Ridge Pike in Lower Providence Township, with a building of about 3,384 square feet. The site is now a parking lot connected by driveways to neighboring Ridge Pike properties, including an adjacent bank, and that lot would be demolished.

Issues raised: Standalone car wash is not a named permitted use in the district, Vacuum stations may need to be enclosed under car wash standards, Lot line cuts across the adjacent bank's parking and driveways, Access easements for the neighboring bank property need to be shown or created, Possible cross-access and shared access point with the bank property, Pedestrian connection to Dell Angelo Park not provided
