County restores planning-agenda link ahead of today’s land-use reviews

Delaware County’s Development Review page now opens a working October planning agenda, resolving the broken-link condition documented October 14. The tentative agenda for today’s 4 p.m. Planning Commission meeting identifies pending ordinance and development reviews.

AGENDA ACCESS RESTORED; TENTATIVE ITEMS—NOT YET VOTED; COUNTY REVIEW IS ADVISORY

Delaware County Planning Department and Planning Commission; the respective municipalities retain final land-use authority

Thursday, October 15, 2026, 4–6 p.m., Government Center Building, Room 100, Court House Complex, Media

No recorded vote.

• Zoning matters include Newtown data-center text revisions, Tinicum’s proposed road relocation on its zoning map, and an Upper Providence amendment concerning municipal-project review exemptions.
• Development matters include a 5,084-square-foot office/warehouse on 2.2 acres in Chester Township and four houses on a 10.8-acre, four-lot Concord subdivision.
• The document is tentative and subject to changes. It says a final agenda will be available after the meeting. No staff recommendation letter, commission vote or municipal approval is established by this agenda.
• The prior September-path agenda failure is resolved at the parent page’s designated current-agenda link. The precise time the county repaired it is not published.
• No new material voted action found in the outcome records successfully reviewed. County Council’s October 7 motion-level outcomes remain unverified in this run; its portal could not be retrieved, so yesterday’s media failure is not asserted as freshly observed.
• PennDOT’s previously announced Route 252 closure in Media remains scheduled weekdays, 9 a.m.–3 p.m., between Cherry Street and State Road/Monroe Street through February 26. The posted detour uses Kirk Lane, Orange Street and Baltimore Avenue; local access remains available and work is weather-dependent.
• No new county emergency notice was found in the postings checked. This is not an all-clear: Aqua’s dynamic map provided no usable incident detail, and PECO’s planned-outage list did not expose affected geography.

Restored access lets residents identify pending land-use reviews before the meeting. The ordinance matters affect future development rules; county recommendations inform, but do not replace, municipal decisions. Publication of the agenda does not establish that any project has been approved.

• What specific changes and safeguards are in Newtown’s revised data-center text?
• What municipal-project reviews would Upper Providence exempt, and why?
• Will dated staff reports and the final agenda be posted with the commission’s recommendations?

No materially comparable prior decision identified.

The access problem is resolved. No inference about motive or misconduct is supported; a website-link or clerical error remains plausible. The cause and precise repair time are unknown.

• Before 4 p.m. October 15: check the tentative agenda for revisions and obtain staff reports.
• October 16: verify recommendations, final agenda, any recorded votes and recusals.
• October 20, 1 p.m.: next County Council agenda meeting; inspect newly posted files before reporting proposals.

• Development Review — working current-agenda link
• October 15 tentative agenda
• October 15 meeting notice
• County Council October 7 meeting files
• County upcoming events
• PennDOT Route 252 closure notice — September 22
• County environmental-health alerts
• PECO planned outages — geography not verified
