The challenge was opposed in a monthslong hearing by attorneys representing developers Northpoint LLC., Riverside, Mo., and Route 10 plot owner Mail Shark, a marketing company off Route 625. The challengers also asserted the township failed to consider the rezoning’s impact on the environment, putting the zoning change in violation of the Environmental Rights Amendment to the state constitution. The challenge claimed the 2018 decision to change the zoning from rural conservation to industrial amounted to spot zoning, or the singling out of one property for unjustifiably different treatment. Residents of the Flying Hills area, along with Penske and other nearby businesses, filed the legal challenge in September as part of ongoing efforts to oppose warehouse development on the site. The board voted unanimously Tuesday to uphold the township commissioners’ decision to rezone the land to allow for industrial development on the site, which borders the Flying Hills development. The Cumru Township Zoning Hearing Board has denied a legal challenge to a zoning change that enabled building warehouses on a 171 acres at Route 10 and Freemansville Road.
