In previous years it was the practice of the City to establish "official
building lines" in connection with its "street plan" and/or Capital Improve-
ment Program. A forty-five year old ordinance numbered 1474 established
a building line on both sides of Front Street, later renamed Lancaster Avenue,
from Jones Street to South Riverside Drive.
As the City has developed, the reason for extra right-of-way on East Lancaster
Avenue is no longer valid. The present right-of-way is 80 feet and is consi-
dered adequate for future needs of the area since the construction of the
Turnpike has relieved the traffic flow on East Lancaster Avenue. The staff
does not feel that extra right-of-way will be needed on East Lancaster Avenue.
In planning for an expansion of its facility at 1109 East Lancaster, the
Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company has requested that the building line requirement
be rescinder}.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance voiding ordinance
No. 1474, thereby removing the building lines imposed on East Lancaster
Avenue.
