The plan would redevelop about one acre on Maple Street in Conshohocken. It would replace a recycling business, which now occupies several warehouse-type buildings and paved yard areas, with 16 homes. These would be one single-family house and 15 townhomes. Three of the townhomes are existing units that would be rebuilt. The other 12 are new and would sit in two buildings.
The homes would be reached by a private 24-foot driveway. The plan also adds a new public sidewalk connection. The site would be split into 16 separate lots.
Borough documents show the project needed zoning relief, such as smaller lots, little or no side setback on some lots, and higher building coverage than the standard rules allow. The borough's Planning Commission reviewed the subdivision and land development plan in July 2026. No news coverage, opposition or final approval was found, and nothing says who will live there.
What it could mean nearby
- Replacing an industrial recycling use with homes could end heavy truck and processing activity on this block.
- The project adds 16 homes, 13 of them new, to the neighborhood.
- A new public sidewalk connection would improve walking access along Maple Street.
- Access is by a private driveway, and the borough's parking and setback relief requests suggest a tight, dense layout.
Where it stands
The plan appears to be under borough review. The Planning Commission took it up in July 2026 and was due to report to Borough Council, but no council decision was found. Next usually come council votes on the plan and any waivers, then conditions and permits before construction.
