Area residents gathered at a recent Bensalem Township Planning Commission meeting to express concern about plans for a new 70-home development next to Resurrection Cemetery. The meeting, however, was canceled just a few hours before it was scheduled to start. The planning commission agenda listed a development from Toll Brothers and a sketch plan for commercial projects along Street Road, so the cancellation of the meeting due to a lack of agenda items means the projects’ applicants requested a continuance or otherwise withdrew their proposals ahead of the meeting. The site will need to be rezoned from industrial to residential (R-1) for the development to move forward. The next planning commission meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, June 18. Residents in the area are concerned that the proposed development will alter the quiet nature of their neighborhood.
