The property, identified as Tax Map Parcel 642548344028 1, also known as 4327 Stonebridge Drive, Bethlehem, PA 18015, is .14 acres in size and located in the OSR/AQC Overlay Zones.

APPEAL NO. 2024-05 – Commodore Vista Co., Inc (Owner), 1930 PA Route 309, Coopersburg, PA 18036 and USC Property Holdings LLC (Applicant), 500 Office Center Drive – Suite 400, Fort Washington, PA 19034. The property, identified as Tax Map Parcel 642354791814 1, also known as 7651 PA Route 309, Coopersburg, PA 18036, is 1.96 acres in size and located in the Industrial (I) Zone. The applicant is requesting variances from Sections 322.B.1.C, 414.D and 414.G to construct a 300 sq ft double-sided digital LED billboard with two (2) sign faces that are more than 3’ apart, set back 2’ from the right of way/property line (50’ required) with height of 30’ (25’ permitted). The applicant also seeks an interpretation that the 1000’ separation requirement in Section 414.B does not apply to billboards located outside Upper Saucon Township. In the alternate, the applicant seeks a variance from Section 414.B to permit placement of a billboard within 580’ of an existing billboard (1,000’ required). In the alternative, the applicant files a validity challenge under Section 804.A claiming the Zoning Ordinance is de facto exclusionary as to billboards.
