Public Hearing Scheduled for Boyce Plaza Road Apartment Complex

The Boyce Plaza Road apartment complex in Upper St. Clair is one step closer to becoming a reality.

The Boyce Plaza Road apartment complex in Upper St. Clair is one step closer to becoming a reality. The Upper St. Clair Planning Commission unanimously agreed Thursday night to send the apartment complex plans to the township commissioners in order to hold two public hearings. The first public hearing is scheduled during the Board of Commissioners’ regular meeting on May 6. The second and final hearing will be in June when the commissioners could make a final ruling on the plan. Director of Community Development Scott Brilhart has previously said that the plan calls for nine 3-story buildings.

It will be interesting to see what that would do to the middle school concept. Unless they redistrict (always a very unpopular action), it looks like children from those apts. would go to Streams. Another captive source for IB students.....   more ›

The Upper St. Clair Planning Commissioners will hear plans for an apartment complex on Boyce Plaza Road on Thursday.

Apartment Complex Proposed for Upper St. Clair.

The complex, along Chartiers Creek, would contain between 216 and 228 units.

A 200-plus-unit apartment complex is proposed for Upper St. Clair. Developer John Deklewa brought the proposal to the township planning commission Thursday for a preapplication conference. The complex would be built on 27.6 acres of property at the end of Boyce Plaza Road, along Chartiers Creek in the southwestern corner of the township. Previous plans to build patio homes on the site were scuttled because of lack of economic viability. Between 216 and 228 apartments are targeted for construction. Deklewa said they will be one- and two-bedroom units, 900 to 1,200 square feet, and probably rent for $1,000 to $1,500 per month. Boyce Plaza Road intersects with Boyce Road near its bridge over Chartiers Creek. Deklewa said the traffic impact …

I really don't see the objection. The site is pretty isolated, it is not particularly green in its current state, the project would bring new tax revenue, and it would offer another kind of housing alternative for young professionals who don't want or need a yard. $1200/mo is currently what you would pay for a $190,000 house in USC.   more ›
