  • ZONING HEARING BOARD OF DOYLESTOWN TOWNSHIP

    Doylestown, PA
    Proposal

    The Zoning Hearing Board of Doylestown Township held a hearing on March 27, 2025, to consider an application by Albert and Jeanette DeRichemond to legalize an existing accessory family apartment in their single-family residence at 50 Poplar Lane. The applicants sought a special exception and a variance to permit the apartment to exceed the standard 25% size limit of usable floor area, as the apartment already existed when they purchased the property in 2000 and will be used to house a caregiver due to health concerns. The board found the applicants had proper standing and that the subject property, a 1.09-acre lot in the R-1 Residential Zoning District, met all legal notice requirements for the hearing.
