About this project
A company is proposing three new commercial buildings, about 64,432 square feet in total, for storing construction vehicles and equipment on the 10.44-acre property at 4454 Skippack Pike in Skippack Township. The existing single-family house on the site would stay, and the project would add four stormwater basins and access through a driveway that partly sits on a neighboring parcel. Montgomery County planners are hesitant to support it, mainly because contractor and equipment storage is not a permitted use in the General Commercial district.
County planning commission: Raises serious concerns
Issues raised: Contractor and equipment storage not a permitted use in General Commercial district, Does not meet district legislative intent, Unclear access; PennDOT HOP and easement needed, Existing bridge may not handle heavy trucks, Infiltration basins and floodway/riparian buffer protection, Sidewalks recommended along Skippack Pike

The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
A company proposes three new commercial buildings totaling about 64,400 square feet on a 10.44-acre property at 4454 Skippack Pike in Skippack Township. The buildings would be used to store construction vehicles and equipment.
The existing single-family house would stay. The project would add four stormwater basins, which are ponds or low areas that catch and slow rainwater runoff. Access would be by a driveway that partly crosses a neighboring parcel.
Montgomery County planners are hesitant to support the plan. Their main reason is that contractor and equipment storage is not a permitted use in the General Commercial zoning district. No news coverage, township agenda or minutes, or developer webpage could be confirmed for this project, so this explanation relies on the county record.
What it could mean nearby
- Access would use a shared driveway that partly sits on a neighboring parcel, which could affect that neighbor and truck turning movements on Skippack Pike.
- Four new stormwater basins would manage runoff from the added buildings and paved areas.
- The county record gives no information on jobs, new homes, or school impacts.
Where it stands
The plan was filed with the county in December 2025, and county planners have signaled hesitation over the zoning mismatch. Next steps usually include township review and a decision on whether the use can be allowed through a zoning approval or relief, before any land development approval.
