About this project
The Quaker Park office complex at Hector and Lee Streets will be redeveloped with a five-story mixed-use building containing 106 apartments and ground-floor retail, plus 40 new townhomes; the laboratory building will be demolished and the existing office building will remain. The county supports this transit-oriented redevelopment but raises significant concerns about 12 townhomes proposed in the floodplain, which conflicts with county flooding mitigation goals.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: Twelve townhomes proposed in 1% Annual Chance Flood Area conflict with comprehensive plan flooding mitigation goals, Floodplain development inconsistent with Montco 2040 strategy to limit development in floodplain
