Agritainment - 592 S. Mennonite Road
592 S. Mennonite Road, Upper Providence, PA · Plan review · 12.0 acres
About this project
HTC Associates, LLC wants to convert an existing barn on about 12 acres at 592 S. Mennonite Road in Upper Providence Township into an "agritainment" venue, including a wedding venue and planned pickleball courts. The township must first amend its zoning text to allow agritainment as a conditional use in the R-1 district. The county planning commission has serious concerns, mainly about commercial pickleball, event size, paved area and how the farm use would be confirmed.
County planning commission: Raises serious concerns
Issues raised: commercial pickleball as an intensification of the use, no minimum farm acreage or standards for the agricultural operation, pickleball not listed as a conditional use, no cap on attendance per event, to be set with the Fire Marshal, no limit on impervious pavement, food truck parking on lawn and remote parking definition
