Zoning Hearing Board Meeting | March 18, 2026

The City of Chester, PA Zoning Hearing Board convened on March 18, 2026, to consider application number 4-26 submitted by Lubna Lamgard regarding a property at 224 East 24th Street. The applicant sought a special exception to permit less than the required heated habitable indoor floor area and a variance to allow zero off-street parking spaces where four are normally required. The board reviewed inspection reports and rental registration documentation related to the property's use as a three-unit rental dwelling, despite being registered as a single-family dwelling. After deliberation, the board approved the application in full, directing the city to update records to reflect the property's status as a three-unit dwelling for future inspections and processing. The decision will be issued in writing within 45 days.
