135 OLD YORK Rd, Jenkintown, PA 19046

Business Center District

Accommodate a mix of sustainable, complimentary uses, to include retail, office, and community service (and with the exception of Willow Grove Park Mall, residential). Where residential is permitted, develop a greater range of housing choices and more interdependent, round-the-clock development centers. The primary component of the District is and will continue to be retail uses, which serves the needs of both local neighborhoods and the larger region. Retail uses should provide a range of compatible and interdependent business activities, and should include dining and entertainment uses. Create strong pedestrian and bicycle connections within the District and with surrounding areas. Enable attractive building design and streetscapes inside BC Business Center District developments and along the external street fronts of BC developments. Provide public open space areas for passive recreation and gathering. Permit an intensification of uses in appropriate locations. Encourage town-center style design, with attractive buildings, circulation systems, and green spaces. Require creation of civic spaces suitable for hosting public events and gatherings. Ensure adequate separation and buffering between BC Business Center District and adjacent single-family residential districts.
