Zoning Hearing Board Meeting 7/29/2026

The Millcreek Township Zoning Hearing Board convened on July 29, 2026, to consider three appeals related to variances from zoning regulations, primarily concerning signage and setback requirements. The first appeal involved Fast Signs requesting variances to increase the size of a monument sign at 2403 West 8th Street beyond the permitted limits due to the property's extensive road frontage. The board approved this request. The second appeal was from Excel Sign Group seeking variances for two wall signs at 5224 West Ridge Road, including a request for signage on a private road frontage. The board also approved this appeal after discussion of comparable signage in the area. The third appeal concerned a dimensional variance to reduce the setback from the top of bank of Walnut Creek from 50 feet to 25 feet for a development at 2381 Zimmerly Road. This request raised concerns from neighboring residents about environmental impacts, runoff, and neighborhood character. The applicant explained compliance with stormwater management and water quality regulations. The transcript ends before a decision on this appeal was recorded. The meeting included motions and votes approving the first two appeals and concluded with adjournment motions.
