# Planning Commission Meeting 10/7/26

The Lower Paxton Township Planning Commission meeting on October 7, 2026, considered a conditional-use application for Zen Leaf Harrisburg, a proposed medical marijuana dispensary at 4206 Union Deposit Road. The applicant described plans to reuse a vacant former bank, with 18 parking spaces (11 required), security measures, and operating hours of 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. After discussion of neighborhood compatibility, traffic and pedestrian safety, licensing, and security, the Commission voted to recommend approval of conditional use application 2601, subject to compliance with applicable state and federal requirements; the motion carried with one member opposed. No contract award or purchasing decision was made.

The Commission also reviewed a preliminary/final subdivision plan to divide a 3.42-acre property on Ranger Road into two new residential lots while retaining the existing lot. It approved requested deferrals for sidewalks, curbs, street widening, and street trees, with installation tied to building-permit applications: improvements on each new lot when that lot applies, and improvements on the retained lot when Lot 2 applies. Public comment also noted open PennDOT multimodal grant opportunities and the NEVI community-charging funding round as potential sources for future transportation and EV-charging projects; no grant application or funding commitment was approved. The Commission adjourned after scheduling its next meeting for November 4.
