# Harrisburg City Zoning Hearing Board Meeting - 10/19/2026

The City of Harrisburg Zoning Hearing Board meeting was held October 19, 2026. The board considered land-use applications; no procurement activity, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were identified. It denied application 2652 for 1408 Susquehanna Street, which sought a variance to convert a vacant, nonconforming parking garage in a residential district into a welding and metal-fabrication training facility. The discussion included neighborhood concerns about noise, air quality, parking, and whether the applicant had demonstrated hardship. The board also denied application 2647 after the applicant failed to appear; that application sought approval for a multifamily dwelling and related zoning relief.

The board approved application 2655 for a detached two-car garage at 3307 North 4th Street with the Planning Commission’s conditions, and approved application 2656 for a personal-services beauty business at 214 Verbeck Street, including relief from off-street parking requirements. It also approved application 2658 for a four-story, 67-unit affordable senior housing development at 1203 South 13th Street, with 34 parking spaces; the applicant said it intended to apply for a PHFA 9% tax credit in the next application round. Application 2659, for signage at a Tunnel to Towers veterans’ supportive-housing facility at 1103 South Front Street, was approved subject to Planning Commission conditions, including reducing the freestanding sign to a maximum of 20 square feet and five feet in height.
