“We recently hired Unruh Turner Burke & Frees to handle a conditional use application for our Chestnut Street Lofts apartment project in downtown West Chester. The zoning ordinance required 2 parking spaces per unit for the 60 unit apartment development plan which meant we would have to provide 120 parking spaces to comply with the ordinance. Our plan provided 36 spaces on site and the remaining 84 spaces would have to be leased from the Borough at a monthly rate of $75 per space per month, the monthly cost for the parking put the project in jeopardy. Our attorneys said they would look into the matter to see if they could come up with a solution. Several days later they informed us that they had found a provision in the ordinance that allowed us to apply a credit of an existing non-conformity for Parking toward our current application. The firm’s research and knowledge allowed us to apply a credit against the required parking due to the existing non-conformity which saved us from having to rent 50 parking spaces from the Borough and also saved the project. The Unruh Turner Burke & Frees team went on to secure our approval in less than 6 months. Needless to say we highly recommend Unruh Turner Burke & Frees for any Real Estate need.
