Norristown's municipal council will consider on adding flexibility to the zoning code, potentially paving the way for a new development.
NORRISTOWN, PA — Norristown's municipal council will consider voting on adding flexibility to the zoning code Tuesday evening, potentially smoothing the approval process to future developments in the area.
Specifically, proposed Ordinance 21-10 would amend certain aspects of the code to allow more types of residential development within the municipality's currently designated Multi-Family Residential District.
The change has been requested by a developer who wants to build a major new residential development in town.
