BET Investment is seeking an amendment to the Joint Municipal Zoning Ordinance (JMZO) to add a B-11 use for a "garage core" multi-story apartment building in the Town Center zone in #NewtownPA Township.
The June 4, 2024, Planning Commission discussion starts with comments from the Newtown Planning Commission whether or not they approve recommending to the Board of Supervisors to eventually approve this amendment. In the end, the PC Solicitor outlines the possible next steps that BET may want to take - in particular, going before the Joint Zoning Commission (JZC) to present their plan and get their unofficial FEEDBACK, NOT APPROVAL (as originally reported in the Patch).

John Mack’s Insights: It is NOT appropriate for the developers to DIRECTLY ask the Jointure to approve an amendment of the JMZO as was originally reported the Patch. In this case, it would be up to the Newtown BOS to bring it before the Jointure and as the PC Solicitor said this process is "nowhere near" that point!
