  • Chapter 1: Introduction
    EXISTING CONDITIONS A-1 - Introduction This appendix describes the factors having significant impacts on planning, growth, and resources in the Township and provides context within the larger region. This inventory of existing conditions helps to inform the development of policies and recommendations for Tredyffrin Township. This assessment of existing conditions represents a snapshot of conditions in the Township in 2020 and may not be as representative of the Township at the end of the plan’s time horizon. A-2 - Existing Land Use and Zoning Existing Land Use Overall land use in Tredyffrin has remained relatively unchanged since the 2009 Comprehensive Plan. However, recent development and redevelopment has the potential to incrementally change the density and intensity of land uses in the Township. This section provides an inventory and analysis of current land use that serves as a basis for analyzing future development patterns. Tredyffrin Township contains a diversity of land uses. The Route 202 corridor encompasses regional employers, economic centers, and commercial development. The Route 30 corridor contains substantial commercial development integrating mixed-use development. Residential development exists north (primarily medium-sized lot single family homes) and south (primarily compact residential development) of the Route 202 corridor. Chesterbrook, in the central northern portion of the Township, is a mixed- use, high density development. The Valley Forge National Historical Park is partially located within the northeastern portion of the Township, and there are open space preserves acquired by the Open Land Conservancy within the northern and northwestern portions of the Township. Existing Land Use Categories The data and figures in this section are based upon Chester County Assessment data, adjusted for land use by Chester County Planning Commission (CCPC).
