Planning Commission Meeting | September 9, 2026

The City of Chester Planning Commission held a meeting on September 9, 2026, focusing primarily on two major development projects. The first was the proposed athletic complex at 1100 West 10th Street, which includes new home stands, concessions, restrooms, athletic training facilities, and parking improvements. The commission discussed zoning relief granted for increased impervious coverage, fire safety measures including new hydrants and emergency access, landscaping plans, and parking capacity. The commission voted to recommend conditional approval of the project, subject to city and agency comments and county advisory input. The second project involved the Delora wastewater treatment plant's B2 building replacement with a new B5 building, featuring updated laboratory and office spaces, parking lot reconstruction, and site improvements. Key discussion points included landscaping requirements, fire safety, ADA accessibility, and stormwater management. The commission also recommended conditional approval for this project. Additionally, updates were provided on other city development initiatives, including potential streetscape improvements and transportation projects. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made during the meeting, but the approvals set the stage for future construction and related procurement activities.
