Development News from the latest meeting
July 8 2026 East Whiteland Township Board of Supervisors
Published: Jul 8, 2026
Rezoning of 164 Konosoga Road from Open Space to Professional Office Referred for Review
The Board of Supervisors referred a zoning map amendment for 164 Konosoga Road to the planning commissions and authorized advertisement for a hearing. The amendment seeks to rezone the 1.89-acre parcel from Open Space to Professional Office District. The applicant, Rabino Holdings, presented the case, noting that part of the parcel is already zoned Professional Office and that the change would allow for year-round uses and potential trail-related commercial uses, aligning with discussions about trail-related economic benefits. The proposed change aims to remove the open space zoning on the remainder of the parcel.
Township Approves Ban on Single-Use Plastics, Including Bags and Polystyrene
The Board of Supervisors approved an ordinance to ban single-use retail plastic bags, single-use paper bags, and polystyrene food service products. The ordinance, initiated by the Environmental Advisory Council, also establishes regulations for reusable bags and signage requirements, with penalties for violations. It aims to reduce plastic waste and aligns with initiatives in surrounding townships. The ordinance will go into effect in January 2027, following an educational campaign for businesses and the public. The proposal was approved unanimously.
Chester Valley Golf Club Pickleball Court Application Tabled Amidst Noise and Lighting Concerns
The Board of Supervisors considered a conditional use application by Chester Valley Golf Club to allow for two lighted pickleball courts accessory to the golf course. The application was supported by testimony from the club's general manager, civil engineer, and landscape architect, detailing the project's location, size, lighting, landscaping, and minimal impact on surrounding properties. Concerns were raised by residents regarding noise, light pollution, and the enforcement of lighting timers, as well as the adequacy of signage for the application process. The Board also discussed potential conditions related to noise mitigation, lighting timers, and traffic safety measures near overflow parking. The Board decided to table the decision until their next meeting on August 19th to allow for further review of proposed conditions.
Ordinance Amendment Requiring Environmental Remediation for Land Development Referred for Review
The Board of Supervisors referred an amendment to the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance to the planning commissions. This amendment, a staff initiative influenced by the Bishop Tube Clean and Green Coalition, aims to require proof of environmental remediation as part of land development applications. The ordinance will be presented to the planning commission in August and is intended to be acted upon by the Board in September. The Board also authorized the advertisement for a hearing on this amendment for September 9th.
Township to Seek $250,000 Grant for Trail Crossing Safety Signs
The Board of Supervisors approved the submission of a grant application and funding commitment letter for a DCED MTF grant. The grant, totaling $250,000 with a 30% match requirement, is intended for the installation of flashing warning signs at trail crossings on Phoenixville Pike and Backton Hill Road. The signs are designed to be radar-activated and meet PennDOT standards. The estimated cost is $250,000. The approval is for the submission, not the expenditure of funds. The motion was approved.
