On December 14, 2023, Carlisle Borough Council adopted an ordinance rezoning the former Frog, Switch & Manufacturing Company tract from General Industrial (I-1) to Urban Mixed Use (UM) zoning, with 85% community support shown in a public survey. The rezoning was accompanied by an approved resolution to update the Borough's Comprehensive Plan to reflect the mixed-use land use designation, which allows for residential, non-residential, and open space uses. Borough Council has also been implementing additional land use reform recommendations from a subcommittee, including reviews of parking requirements for dwellings and expanded shared parking provisions.
