Wyomissing amends zoning code to mandate landscape architect plans for new developments
The Planning Commission is reviewing a draft ordinance to amend Chapter 27 of the Borough's Zoning Code.

It establishes specific rules for tree protection, street trees, screen buffers, and parking lot landscaping across various residential and commercial districts.
- Amends Chapter 27, Section 604 to require Landscape Plans prepared by a registered Landscape Architect for all preliminary or final plans.
- Mandates one shade tree per 45 feet of street frontage, with the Borough responsible for installation and developers paying associated fees.
- Requires screen buffers along boundaries between residential and non-residential districts, including a minimum 6-foot height visual barrier.
- Prohibits plant species deemed invasive by the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and requires 66% native species.
- Updates landscape plan submission requirements for R-3, R-3A, R-4, T-C, and C-1 zoning districts.

MEMO To: Zoning Hearing Board
FROM: Jeff Hogg, Residential Zoning Officer
TOPIC: Scudder Residence – 1112 Fairview Avenue
APPLICATION:
Jonathan Scudder, owner of a property located at 1112 Fairview Ave. is requesting
a Variance from Section 424, “Area, Yard and Height Regulations” of the Borough
of Wyomissing Zoning Ordinance.
COMMENTS:
1. The property is located in the R-2 Suburban Residential District. The property
measures approximately 6534 sq ft and is non-conforming for the minimum
lot size of 12,000 sq ft for a single-family detached dwelling in that Zoning
District.
2. The property has a frontage along Fairview and Terrace Avenues (parallel
streets) and is bordered on both sides by other residential parcels.
3. The existing dwelling is located approximately 4.1 feet from the eastern side
property lines and approximately 11.89 feet from the western side property
line, and is therefore considered non-conforming for the minimum side yard
setback of 15’ per side required by Section 424 of the Zoning Ordinance.
4. Currently, the property has 980 sq ft of building coverage, which is roughly
15.1% of the total lot. This is conforming with the maximum permitted 25%
allowed by Section 424.
5. As an existing non-conforming building, Section 704.3 of the Zoning
Ordinance only allows additions to be constructed where all portions of the
addition are located wi …
