Rezoning HDR to PO/B for 5-story group care facility
Palmer Township, PA · senior living
About this project
The application would rezone parcel K8-10A5A-5 from High Density Residential to Planned Office/Business so a five-story group care facility, focused on senior care, can be built. The change would reduce parking and traffic compared with high-density housing. The site is in a mapped FEMA floodplain, though the current proposal avoids the 100-year floodplain.
County recommendation: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: Build ground floors above floodplain elevation, Adjacent areas remain at elevated flood risk, Residents may need medical support during floods
