Pottstown council backs parking variance for warehouse revitalization project

Dated: March 31 2024

A project to convert a large vacant warehouse in Pottstown into 85 market rate apartments was given a second chance. The project came to a halt last June when the owner of the property on North Hanover St. declined to grant Dwight City Group an extension on the agreement of sale in order to obtain a parking variance. Judah Angster, CEO of Dwight City Group, told council that has since changed. The current proposal has the company planning for 146 spaces, up from the first variance request that provided just 85 spaces. Pottstown’s zoning ordinance would require 170 parking spaces for the number of apartments the company wants to create on the two-acre site. Pottstown council voted to send a letter to the zoning hearing board that indicates council’s support for the parking variance request and project. The zoning hearing board is an independent body that will consider all evidence before making a decision about the project. The company has converted many buildings similar to the Pottstown warehouse, taking advantage of under-utilized or vacant older buildings in walkable communities.
