Villanova Proposal Given Another Look

Radnor Township's Board of Commissioners on Monday voted to send a zoning proposal by Villanova University to the Planning Commission for comments and recommendations.

Commissioner John Fisher was the sole vote against sending the "massive" zoning change back to the commission, which voted in May not to recommend the Planned Institutional ordinance, reports Main Line Media News.

The proposed zoning change would also apply to other higher education institutions in Radnor.
