Pottstown Borough Council will consider zoning matters related to the redevelopment of the Lastick Furniture buildings at the corner of High and Charlotte streets. The longtime business closed in 2022 after 50 years in downtown Pottstown. A plan has been proposed to convert the two buildings on either side of North Charlotte Street into a mixed-use development called High Street Commons with retail on the ground floor and 21 market-rate apartments above. Zoning matters include a variance for percentage of retail use and parking. The proposal calls for constructing a 15-spot parking garage in the basement of the building at 305 E. High St. The ultimate decision on zoning matters will be made by the zoning hearing board.
