About this project

A new four-story building that combines office space with senior residential living is proposed on about 6 acres at Red Lion Road and Philmont Avenue in Lower Moreland Township, roughly 29,000 square feet of it for senior living and 69,000 for offices. It would sit beside the existing four-story Fairway Plaza office building, and about 2 acres of the site would be disturbed. County planners say senior living is not currently allowed under the zoning and would need a text amendment, and they have serious concerns about added paving, the building's cramped layout, and pedestrian access.

County planning commission: Raises serious concerns

Issues raised: Senior living use not permitted; text amendment required, Impervious coverage increases from 73.3% to 78.13%, Large portion of site within 100-year floodplain, Building wedged into site, leaving little room for amenities and landscaping, Narrow sidewalk along building front; no designated drop-off area, Insufficient pedestrian connections and ADA parking placement
