Summary
York County’s Planning Commission narrowly rejected a controversial rezoning proposal for Marquis Crossing — a mixed-use development featuring 125 townhomes, a Sheetz, and retail spaces near The Marquis and Water Country USA — citing misalignment with long-term plans, traffic concerns, and school overcrowding. Residents from Whittakers Mill also opposed it. Despite years of effort by developer Stanley Martin Homes to revitalize the struggling shopping center, the commission voted 4-3 against the plan, with some commissioners questioning its rushed nature and the viability of Sheetz without the residential component. The final decision rests with the Board of Supervisors, while other Sheetz sites in the region remain under consideration.
