Terralead, LLC proposes 34 townhomes on about 13.86 acres at 1730 Skippack Pike in Whitpain Township, Montgomery County. The site has a vacant building, which would be torn down to make room for the homes.
A third-party township-news aggregator describes a Whitpain Township conditional use application (listed as CU 51-26) for a 34-unit townhome project at this address. A conditional use is a type of approval the township supervisors can grant when a project meets set conditions. The aggregator's pages contain spelling errors, and the page could not be opened for checking. A summary of its search listing also says a decision was deferred and a vote was pending. No dates, decision, opposition, or information on who would live there or whether the homes would be sold or rented was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Replacing a vacant building with 34 homes would put the site back into use.
- Added households would increase traffic on Skippack Pike. No traffic study was found, so the size of the effect is unknown.
- The 13.86-acre site is large enough that open space, stormwater, and utility connections are likely to come up in review.
Where it stands
The project appears to be at the conditional use stage before the Whitpain Board of Supervisors, and the one source found suggests a decision was deferred or still pending. After a conditional use decision, a developer usually submits subdivision and land development plans for planning commission and supervisor review, followed by permits.
