The Warrington Township Board of Supervisors is considering changing the zoning of an 8.23-acre parcel on the northeast side of Pickertown Road. The parcel is just north of the US Route 202 Parkway. The change would move it from RA (Residential Agricultural) to R3 (Residential Single-Family). R3 allows smaller lots and more homes per acre.
The site now has agricultural buildings and fields and is used for rural residential purposes. County records say R3 zoning could allow up to 15 homes. A rezoning does not approve any specific houses. A builder would still need to submit plans for review.
A third-party meeting summary says the supervisors postponed a Pickertown Road rezoning ordinance to a September 8 meeting. The summary appears to be about this proposal, but it does not state the acreage or zoning districts. No news coverage, opposition or named developer was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Up to 15 new single-family homes could replace the farm fields and buildings, based on the county estimate.
- More homes would add some traffic on Pickertown Road and near the Route 202 Parkway. No traffic study was found.
- The land would shift from agricultural and open character to denser suburban housing.
- Effects on schools and utilities were not found in the records.
Where it stands
The rezoning was reportedly postponed in July 2026 to a September 8 supervisors' meeting. This research found no result of that meeting, so the current status is unconfirmed. Usually the supervisors vote on the rezoning ordinance at a public meeting. If it passes, a landowner or builder would submit subdivision plans for separate review.
