A township zoning hearing board agenda from February 2026 lists a case for Mills at Glen Riddle, LP at 300 S. Pennell Road. It was listed as old business. A search summary of that agenda described the requests as variances for a reduced buffer setback and for signs, on land zoned for manufacturing and industry. The agenda file could not be opened directly to confirm this. A variance is permission to depart from a zoning rule.
No news coverage, opposition, or named tenant was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Industrial use on land zoned for manufacturing fits the zoning category the agenda reports.
- A reduced buffer setback, if granted, would put the building or parking closer to neighboring property lines than the standard rule allows.
- Truck and delivery traffic on S. Pennell Road is possible, but no traffic study was found.
