Towamencin Township supervisors voted 4-1 to reject a request for a zoning change that would have allowed 300-plus housing units on the Freddy Hill Farms parcel. Developer Pinnacle Realty proposed two plans — a dense plan for 300-plus townhouses and a mixed-use residential cluster that required the requested rezoning, or a 141-unit housing development that is “by-right” under the current R-175 (single-family home) zoning. Supervisor Kofi Osei cast the only “yes” vote and said a denser plan could preserve more open space and provide infrastructure improvements. Residents in attendance opposed the higher-density plan, citing traffic, stormwater issues, loss of open space and school overcrowding. The board denied the request to proceed with the rezoning and review process, and subsequently development on the Freddy Hill site is now limited to the 141-unit plan allowed under current zoning.
