Members of the Richland Township Planning Commission recently voted to recommend a zoning change for 140 acres east of Old Bethlehem Pike. The proposal would rezone 115 parcels from Rural Agricultural to Suburban Residential Low, paving the way for a future low-density residential development. The neighboring Twin Lakes subdivision would also be rezoned — a change that would have no impact because the 107-home development is complete. The property was identified as a potential site for future development in a 2023 amendment to the township’s comprehensive plan. The primary parcel available for redevelopment is along West Paletown Road, south of the Twin Lakes neighborhood. A final decision about the rezoning will be considered by Richland Township supervisors at a public hearing on Monday, April 14.
