More recently, Lower Moreland Township has received another sketch plan from another developer. Liborio-Louvers, LCC sent a request for a zoning amendment change that would eventually allow the construction of 33 Condominiums in five buildings on Lieberman Drive.

To clarify, nothing has been decided yet. The township will need to grant the developers a public hearing, which will be determined based on information the Board of Commissioners hear on Tuesday night.

According to the township, the developers did not provide sufficient information for the proposal, and there will be a more in-depth discussion about the proposal tonight.

“Based on the information from the developer, we can’t make a decision if there will be a public hearing yet,” township manager Rich Mellor said. “We just received a quick sketch plan.”

“They didn’t provide enough information, so the board will have to make a decision based on what they say,” Mellor said.

If a public hearing is granted, the ordinance amendment would be reviewed by both the Township and County Planning Commissions. The applicant would provide testimony as to the zoning change request. Following the public meeting, the Board would consider whether or not to adopt the zoning amendment change. All meetings would be open to the public.
