The Radnor Township Planning Commission has rejected Villanova University‘s request for a zoning change that would allow a major expansion of the Lancaster Avenue campus with new dormitories, a parking garage, a performing arts center, and stores.
The $200 million plan has upset residents, who say it would transform a quiet neighborhood into a noisy extension of the 10,600-student Wildcat campus.
The university was seeking a conditional use to allow denser development than allowed, Planning Commission Chairwoman Julia Hurle said.
The commission was concerned was that the zoning change would not be restricted to the university, she said.
