Zoning Hearing Board | January 21, 2026

The City of Chester Zoning Hearing Board convened on January 21, 2026, primarily to continue deliberations on application number 4-25 submitted by Lever Real Estate Partners 2 LLC. The applicant presented revised plans addressing prior concerns related to pedestrian access, parking, and lighting for a residential development at 1201 and 1203 West 3rd Street. Key discussions focused on the provision of eight off-street parking spaces, the impact of adjacent bus stops on parking availability, and the installation of a six-foot privacy fence and lighting along pedestrian pathways. After reviewing additional exhibits and photographs, the board granted variances to permit the proposed parking arrangements with conditions including the installation of a security fence. The meeting also included routine reorganization proceedings such as the appointment of board officers and the reappointment of the solicitor. No public comments were made during the session.
