8200 Ogontz Ave Subdivision

About this project

KL Investments, LLC plans to split an existing 4.4-acre commercial lot on Ogontz Avenue in Cheltenham into two parcels, of about 3.23 and 1.18 acres, with no changes to the property itself. The site already holds a long strip shopping center and two freestanding commercial buildings, which stay in place. The zoning hearing board granted five variances for existing non-conformities so the split can proceed.

County planning commission: Supports, with comments

Issues raised: cross-access easements needed between the two parcels, legal shared parking arrangement across both parcels, sidewalks required along remaining street frontage or waiver, verges required between curb and sidewalk, including internal sidewalks, street trees at one per 30 feet of frontage or waiver
