A 20-unit senior housing building is proposed at 118 E Glenside Avenue in Cheltenham Township. It would sit on a lot of about 0.71 acres, a little under three-quarters of an acre. The county summary says it would also include supporting non-residential space of roughly 6,000 to 7,000 square feet. The records do not say what that space would be used for.
The site lies in the township's MU2 mixed-use zoning district. The county summary says the plan needs variances and conditional use approval. A variance is an exception to a zoning rule. Conditional use approval is a permission the governing body grants after a public hearing.
No news coverage, developer webpage, meeting agenda, hearing notice or decision about this project was found online. The records do not say what is on the site now, who would run the building, or whether anyone has objected.
