WYOMISSING, Pa. \u2014 There\u2019s still no plan for what might replace the Berkshire Mall. But at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Wyomissing Borough Council will look at what could happen across the area.<\/p>\n
If a developer wanted to build something different at the mall, what could go in its place? Proposed zoning rules could shape what happens there and at nearby properties, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe think that that neighborhood has a lot of development potential,\u201d said Jeffrey Stonehill, a consultant for the borough.<\/p>\n
The borough is considering creating an \u201coverlay district\u201d \u2014 which allows for an extra set of zoning rules giving developers more flexibility. Think shops and housing on the same property, with better walkways between buildings and more landscaping.<\/p>\n
Those are possibilities. So, what\u2019s actually on the table for the mall?<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we stand here today, there\u2019s no actual redevelopment plan for the Berkshire Mall,\u201d Stonehill said.<\/p>\n
The proposed sale to Abrams Realty and Development hasn\u2019t closed either. We asked Stonehill where that deal stands.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s up in the air. We don\u2019t have any particular information,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The meeting is at Borough Hall, located at 22 Reading Blvd. in Wyomissing. Residents can comment, and council could vote after the hearing. As of now, the mall remains open for shopping.<\/p>\n
