The Moon Township Planning Commission met on April 17, 2024, with four members present. The commission unanimously approved the minutes from the February 21 meeting. During public comment, a resident raised concerns about landscaping requirements for the Flex Space Zoning Text Amendment, questioning why the developer could not be required to add more buffer yards and plantings. He also pressed the commission on how laboratories would be regulated in the Business Park district, asking about hours of operation, noise limits, truck traffic, and safety. A commission member responded that the commission does not "skew words" and that the resident's comments were "accusations and oversights," but said his list of concerns would be addressed. The commission then took up the Flex Space Zoning Text Amendment. The township manager explained that revisions included adding language on light distribution, limiting it to 15,000 square feet within a building, clarifying exterior wall height at 30 feet, and capping loading docks at six bays with no more than one per 10,000 square feet. The developer requested that laboratories be removed from the amendment to be handled separately. The commission voted 3-0 to recommend approval. Next, the commission considered final major land development approval for Apex at Diamond Ridge, a multifamily project with 52 townhomes and a 300-unit apartment building. A developer representative noted that the road connection to Marketplace Boulevard was moved east to align with future plans and will now be a private road. A traffic impact study resulted in a $181,000 mitigation contribution. The commission voted 3-0 to recommend approval.
