Planning Commission Meeting

Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 26 subject tags

The Moon Township Planning Commission met on August 21 and voted on three agenda items. The commission unanimously recommended approval of a minor land development plan for Industry Coffee, a drive-thru coffee operation to be housed in a 10-by-40-foot shipping container at 9255 University Boulevard. The applicant requested a waiver to allow existing vegetation and slopes to serve as buffer yards, which the commission supported. The plan includes 11-car stacking, a bypass lane, five parking spaces, and a dumpster, with no indoor seating for patrons. The commission also unanimously recommended approval of a conditional use application for Howlin Hotel & SPaw at 767 Old Narrows Run Road, a small-scale dog daycare and grooming facility in a C2 zone. The facility will accommodate a maximum of 18 dogs, with an HVAC system circulating air every 15 minutes, and outdoor areas for socialization only. Staff confirmed the application met all dog daycare ordinance criteria.

The commission voted 4-0, with one abstention from a commission member who lives within a half-mile of the property, to table the conditional use application for Revival Today, Inc. at 1442 Coraopolis Heights Road. The applicant was not present. Staff detailed numerous deficiencies in the application for a 19,158-square-foot place of worship, including the lack of a development plan, traffic impact study, agent authorization, and information on noise mitigation, lighting, landscaping, stormwater management, and which buildings on the property would be used. Staff noted the applicant had acknowledged noise complaints from neighbors but had not demonstrated how they would comply with township noise regulations. The commission tabled the application until the applicant addresses the outstanding items. No general public comment was offered. The meeting adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
