CHESTER SPRINGS, PA — The Upper Uwchlan Township Zoning Hearing Board is set to hold a public hearing on January 17, 2024, at 7:00 PM. The focal point of the hearing will be the application submitted by Keystone Outdoor Advertising Co., Inc., represented by Vincent B. Mancini, Esquire of Mancini & Kodumal, PLLC, seeking variances for two billboard structures on properties owned by Eaglepointe Development Assoc., L.P.

The proposed billboards are to be erected at 1955 Ticonderoga Boulevard, Upper Uwchlan Township, a property situated in the LI-Limited Industrial Zoning District. Keystone’s application outlines plans for two separate billboard structures, each supporting a double-faced sign measuring fourteen feet by forty-eight feet (14’ x 48’). One side of each billboard will feature static or vinyl copy, while the other side will be digital.

The variance requests primarily involve modifications to the sign provisions of Section 200.98.I(1) of the Upper Uwchlan Township Zoning Ordinance. Keystone seeks approval for the following:

  1. An increase in the maximum height for both billboard structures from thirty feet (30’) to fifty-nine feet (59’) above grade.
  2. A variance from Section 200.98.I(4) and (5), which would allow for the illumination of the billboards to remain on between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM and permit the placement of LED fixtures at the bottom of the sign, rather than at the top.

The public hearing offers an opportunity for all attendees to share their views on these variance requests with the Zoning Hearing Board. This democratic process ensures that community voices are heard and taken into account before any decisions are made.
