North side of Penn Valley Road, bordered by Route 13, Falls Township, PA · 994,257 sq ft non-residential, warehouse & storage · 165.5 acres
About this project
Subdivides a 165.5-acre industrial site, mostly quarry land containing two quarry lakes, into two lots. Lot 2 (66.7 acres) would get a 994,257 sq ft warehouse, a maintenance shed, a pump house and water tank, stormwater facilities, and 1,503 car and 45 truck parking spaces. Warehouses are not permitted under the current Farming and Mining zoning, so the review assumes a pending rezoning request.
County recommendation: Raises serious concerns
Issues raised: Warehouse not permitted under existing FM zoning; depends on rezoning, Several waivers requested without stated hardship, Wetlands and natural resources not fully identified, Site capacity calculations requested, Stormwater waivers must be resolved before final approval

KPK Development Company proposes a warehouse of about one million square feet (994,257 sq ft) on Penn Valley Road, next to Route 13 in Falls Township. It would sit on a 66.7-acre lot carved out of a 165.5-acre site. The site is mostly a former sand quarry with two quarry lakes.
The plan also includes a maintenance shed, a pump house with a water tank, stormwater facilities, and parking for 1,503 cars and 45 trucks.
The land is zoned for farming and mining, which does not allow warehouses. Local coverage and township agendas show the township supervisors authorized advertising a rezoning of the site to a materials processing and manufacturing district. Planning commission agendas list the warehouse as a combined preliminary and final land development application. No tenant was identified in the sources found.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic: residents at township meetings raised concerns about Penn Valley Road, a two-lane road that now serves the quarry. The township engineer said state highway permitting would likely lead to road improvements.
- Parking for 1,503 cars and 45 trucks points to a large workforce and regular truck traffic. No job estimate was found.
- Open space: a former quarry with two lakes would be converted to industrial use.
- Utilities: the plan includes an on-site pump house and water tank, plus stormwater facilities.
Where it stands
The project is at an early stage. The rezoning is pending, and the warehouse plan is under township and county planning review. Next steps are usually planning commission recommendations, a public hearing, and a supervisors' vote on the rezoning, followed by a vote on the land development plan and state highway permits.
