New rules limit gas pumps in Cranberry
CRANBERRY TWP — A new ordinance will likely limit the number of gas stations in Cranberry Township to 17 while mandating the stations better fit in with the township’s streetscape plans.
The ordinance, approved by the township supervisors on Thursday, limits fueling stations along the Route 19, Route 228 and Freedom Road corridors, and prevents new stations from being constructed on the same side of the road within 2,500 feet of an existing or proposed gas station.
Additionally, new stations will be permitted by right to have electric vehicle charging stations, rather than needing to gain township approval to add such structures.
Kyle Beidler, the township’s strategic planning officer, said the 2,500-foot buffer will prevent fueling stations from being “on every single piece of (Cranberry’s) corridors.”
