The Moon Township Planning Commission met on December 18, 2024, and took action on several development proposals. The commission unanimously approved the major land development plan for 1003 Beaver Grade Road, a proposed Beaver Grade Pharmacy. This project will demolish the former P&C bank and construct a new two-story retail pharmacy with an accessory storage building, plus site improvements including sidewalks, landscaping, and stormwater detention upgrades. Staff recommended approval subject to comments in the staff report and engineering review letter. The commission also unanimously recommended approval of the revised tentative master plan for the Village at Marketplace, which adds 40 acres to the existing 145-acre development. Phase Three will incorporate this new acreage with smaller lot sizes and reconfiguration, though grading and right-of-way vacation issues must be resolved before recording the plan. The next step is a public hearing before the Board of Supervisors. Related items were tabled: the planned non-residential development for Residual Parcel C and Parcel 414-J-360 lot consolidation, and the final plan for Village at Marketplace Phase 3, both to allow time to address review comments. The preliminary/final major land development plan for Thorn Run Apartments—a proposed 61-unit townhome project on approximately 14 acres—was also tabled unanimously to allow the applicant to address review comments. Issues discussed included parking variances, visitor parking concerns on the cul-de-sac, hammerhead turnaround design, stream buffer planting requirements, sidewalk waiver needs, and the need for building elevations and floor plans. The commission agreed to revisit the plan after the applicant works with staff over the next several weeks. The meeting adjourned at 7:39 p.m. with no general public comment.The Moon Township Planning Commission met on December 18, 2024, and took action on several development proposals.
