PBCC Church proposes a religious building of about 10,000 square feet on a 6.2-acre site in Middletown Township, Delaware County. The county planning commission's June 2024 agenda describes the site as the northeast corner of Middletown Road and Van Leer Avenue.
The filing is a "final land development" plan. That is the detailed stage of review, after the broad layout has been settled. The county records don't say what is on the site now. The developer on the filing is Philadelphia Meeting Room, Inc., and the engineer is Chester Valley Engineers.
No news coverage, opposition, township approval or announced congregation was found. This explanation rests mainly on the county records.
What it could mean nearby
- The building is a single institutional use, not housing. The records show no new homes and no schools impact.
- Traffic would likely peak around services and events, on Middletown Road and Van Leer Avenue. No traffic study was found.
- Stormwater and utility connections for the 6.2-acre site would be reviewed at the engineering stage. No details were found.
Where it stands
The county planning commission listed the plan as a final land development in June 2024. No later approval or construction news was found. Next steps usually include township review and approval, then permits before construction.
