State Street Commercial Development

About this project

The owner of 1097 State Street L.P. plans three commercial buildings on about 6.5 acres at State Street and Upland Square Drive in Upper Pottsgrove Township: a church of roughly 29,300 square feet, an automotive garage of about 8,100 square feet, and a restaurant of about 1,700 square feet. The four existing tax parcels would be combined and re-divided into three lots, and part of the project extends into West Pottsgrove Township.

County planning commission: Supports, with comments

Issues raised: Nonresidential access must come from Upland Square Drive, not the North State Street access easement, Landscape buffers required where Lot H abuts residential and where Lots F, G and H face R-2 uses across State Street, Drainage maps lack a legend and infrastructure under Pottstown Pike is unclear, Completed application form needed to accompany the submitted plans, Regionally significant project requiring Pottstown Metropolitan Regional Planning Committee review, Lots F and H partly located in West Pottsgrove Township
