Buckingham Township officials recently announced that the developer of a proposed 150,000-square-foot warehouse near Doylestown Airport is switching gears with a plan to build 40 houses. The warehouse plan has been protested by Buckingham residents and neighboring municipalities, citing truck traffic. Buckingham supervisors rejected the warehouse proposal in a 2-1 vote, but at the same time clarified that the building was a warehouse and not a truck terminal. Residents looking for a legal objection to the warehouse had argued that it was a truck terminal. Buckingham zoning regulations allow for a warehouse to be built on the property. Calling it a truck terminal would have allowed for an easier denial that would be harder to appeal. Developer J.G. Petrucci and the community group did go to court, and all parties agreed to try to reach an agreement, which led the developer to propose housing instead of a warehouse. The township noted that the housing plan is still in the early stages of development and highlighted that the plan would preserve 26 acres of open space along Cold Spring Creamery Road.
