Members of the Pottstown Metropolitan Regional Planning Commission had several questions about a development proposal to erect 252 apartments across from the Upland Square shopping center. The apartments would be in 10 three-story buildings on just over 18 acres of land in West Pottsgrove Township. The property is located in the R-1 zoning district and also included as part of the “Route 100 commercial overlay district” where apartments are allowed “by right.” The regional planning commission is made up of Pottstown Borough, the Montgomery County townships of West Pottsgrove, Lower Pottsgrove, Upper Pottsgrove, New Hanover and Douglass, and the Chester County townships of North Coventry and East Coventry. Although the regional planning commission does not have approval power for the project, it is tasked with declaring whether the proposals are consistent with the regional comprehensive plan, which is currently in the process of being rewritten.
