LET’S HELP THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION
Meeting – October 3, 2011 at 7:30
Where – Upper St. Clair Recreation Center - 1551 Mayview Rd
BACKGROUND
· The Township is considering a text amendment change for any 25 acre special business unit property
· The former Consol Property is the only property that meets that criteria
· The change will allow for a mixed use development on that land, including residential, commercial and retail
· The change does not require any specific plan. Therefore the Township must accept any plan that conforms to the amendment
WHAT ARE THE ISSUES
· This is not a Done Deal!
· The Developer has shown the township several plans. However, there are no guarantees or requirements that they are followed.
· Once approved, the developer can sell the property and a new purchaser is free to ignore any of the developer’s visions or promises to the community
· Proposed changes will allow nearly any retail with multiple 55,000 square feet buildings all of which can have 3 stories
· Only 5% conservation required
· Developer has indicated desire to move Best Buy from Bethel Park to this development
