The Board of Supervisors convened a special meeting on April 28, 2025, solely to hold a continued public hearing on the conditional use application filed by Revival Today, Inc. for a place of worship at 1442 Coraopolis Heights Road. The chairman opened the meeting at 6:05 p.m. with a roll call of all four supervisors present and announced an executive session held earlier to discuss litigation. He also noted the passing of a supervisor on April 23. The solicitor explained the hearing process and accepted party status requests. Two attorneys entered appearances: one representing adjacent property owners and another representing 17 affected households. Two residents were also granted party status. One resident was told his concerns about a different property were not relevant to this hearing. The applicant’s attorney requested a continuation, stating they were not prepared to address noise concerns but were working with a noise expert. He described the proposal as a temporary worship use in a tent with 800 seats on a 15,800-square-foot structure, with off-site parking at 1187 Thorn Run Road Ext. and shuttle service. The applicant presented three witnesses: an engineer, a traffic engineer, and a CFO. Testimony covered stormwater management, landscaping buffers, lighting, parking requirements, traffic studies, and the 180-day temporary structure ordinance. Cross-examination by party objectors focused on parking capacity, shuttle logistics, PennDOT’s left-turn lane requirement, and the applicant’s disagreement with PennDOT on that issue. The chairman expressed concern that witnesses were not answering questions directly. A supervisor noted noise complaints were not addressed. A supervisor asked about lighting, service times, and festival capacity. The CFO stated the tent would be used for Sunday services at 10:00 a.m. and a festival in late June through July 6, with no plans for a permanent structure yet. No public comment was taken. The board voted unanimously to continue the hearing to Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.The Board of Supervisors convened a special meeting on April 28, 2025, solely to hold a continued public hearing on the conditional use application filed by Revival Today, Inc. for a place of worship at 1442 Coraopolis Heights Road.
