Zoning Ordinance Rewrite
September 30, 2026
Megan Donovin, CZO Zoning Officer
Project Intent
The Township seeks to undertake a comprehensive evaluation and modernization of its Zoning Ordinance, originally adopted in 1974 and subsequently amended, through a two-phase process.
The purpose of this approach is to first establish a clear understanding of the Township’s existing regulatory framework, development patterns, ordinance deficiencies, inconsistencies, administrative challenges, and future land-use objectives before proceeding with preparation of new ordinance language.
Phase 1: Existing Conditions Assessment and Zoning Ordinance Rewrite Roadmap Phase 1 will establish the foundation for the comprehensive Zoning Ordinance rewrite through research, evaluation, public and stakeholder engagement, and identification of existing regulatory issues, inconsistencies, and opportunities for improvement. The objective of this phase is to develop a clear, actionable roadmap identifying recommended policy direction, ordinance priorities, and implementation strategies to guide Phase 2.
Phase 2: Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance Rewrite and Implementation Phase 2 will implement the findings, recommendations, and policy direction established through Phase 1. The objective of this phase is to prepare a comprehensive, legally defensible, internally consistent, and user-friendly Zoning Ordinance, together with related ordinance amendments and zoning map changes, where appropriate.
Key Background Documents The following documents should be reviewed in conjunction with this RFP and will provide important background for the project:
• Radnor Township Zoning Ordinance
• Radnor Township Zoning Map
• Radnor Township Comprehensive Plan
• Wayne Master Plan
• Radnor Township Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance
• Radnor Township Stormwater Management Ordinance
• Radnor Grading Ordinance
Hyperlinks to the documents above are provided for convenience. Additional Township records, mapping, GIS information, zoning data, and supporting materials may be made available to the selected consultant during the course of the project.

Phase 1 Existing Conditions Assessment and Zoning Ordinance Rewrite
Roadmap
Phase 1 Goal The goal of Phase 1 is to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the Township’s existing zoning and related land-use regulations and establish a detailed framework for the subsequent Zoning Ordinance rewrite.
The consultant shall evaluate the existing Zoning Ordinance not only as an individual regulatory document, but as part of the Township’s broader land-use and development regulatory system, including its Comprehensive Plan, adopted master plans, Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance, Stormwater Management Ordinance, grading regulations, environmental regulations, zoning map, historic development patterns, existing land uses, and current administrative practices.
Phase 1 shall identify regulatory conflicts, inconsistencies, omissions, obsolete provisions, zoning gaps, unclear standards, administrative challenges, recurring variance requests, and areas where existing zoning regulations may no longer reflect the Township’s desired land-use patterns or adopted planning policies.
Phase 1 shall include regular coordination and engagement meetings throughout the assessment process. The consultant shall participate in weekly project coordination meetings with the Township’s Zoning Officer, bi-monthly collaborative Task Force meetings, and meetings and/or presentations before the Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners as required. Phase 1 shall include a minimum of five (5) meetings and/or presentations before the Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners combined, with additional meetings as necessary.
Phase 1 shall also include a minimum of two (2) consultant lead town hall-style public meetings. The first meeting shall occur early in the assessment process and shall be designed to gather public input regarding perceived regulatory tension points, recurring concerns, areas requiring clarification or improvement, and issues the community believes should be considered as part of the rewrite. The second meeting shall occur following preparation of the consultant’s draft Phase 1 findings and recommendations and shall provide an opportunity for public review and comment on the assessment, proposed priorities, and recommended Phase 2 implementation roadmap prior to finalization.
Phase 1 shall conclude with a clear and prioritized roadmap identifying the changes recommended for implementation during Phase 2, incorporating public and Township feedback received throughout the assessment process.
Scope of Work:
A. Review the existing Zoning Ordinance, Zoning Map, Comprehensive Plan, applicable master plans, SALDO, Stormwater Management Ordinance, and other related development regulations.
B. Identify existing regulatory challenges, including conflicting or inconsistent provisions, gaps in regulation, outdated standards, recurring administrative or interpretation issues, inconsistencies between zoning districts, and conflicts between zoning, subdivision/land development, stormwater, and other applicable requirements.
C. Evaluate existing zoning districts, permitted uses, dimensional requirements, development patterns, nonconformities, and other relevant land use conditions and identify opportunities for modernization, consolidation, clarification, or other appropriate changes.
D. Obtain input from Township staff, boards and commissions, elected officials, residents, and other appropriate stakeholders regarding existing regulatory concerns and desired outcomes.
E. Develop recommendations and a prioritized roadmap identifying matters to be addressed through the Phase 2 comprehensive Zoning Ordinance rewrite, including any recommended zoning map or related ordinance amendments.
Phase 1 Deliverables:
• Existing Conditions and Regulatory Assessment Report.
• Summary of identified zoning issues, regulatory conflicts, gaps, administrative challenges, and recommended priorities.
• Zoning district, permitted-use, and dimensional standards comparison identifying inconsistencies and opportunities for consolidation or modification.
• Identification of necessary coordination and recommended amendments involving
SALDO, stormwater, grading, and other related Township regulations.
• Identification of recommended zoning district changes, district consolidation, and potential Zoning Map amendments.
• Summary of public and stakeholder input received during Phase 1 and how that input informed the consultant’s recommendations.
• Recommended organizational framework and scope for the rewritten Zoning
Ordinance.
• Presentation of Phase 1 findings and recommendations to the Township, including participation in the required public meetings and additional staff, board, or commission meetings as reasonably necessary.
• Phase 2 implementation roadmap identifying prioritized recommendations for ordinance drafting, regulatory amendments, district changes, and mapping modifications.
Phase 2 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance Rewrite and Implementation
Phase 2 Goal The goal of Phase 2 is to implement the recommendations and policy direction established through Phase 1 by preparing a comprehensive, modernized, legally defensible, internally consistent, and user-friendly Zoning Ordinance.
The rewritten ordinance should improve regulatory clarity and predictability while reducing unnecessary complexity and maintaining appropriate protections for neighborhood character, natural resources, public health, safety, infrastructure, and community planning objectives.
The ordinance should be written so that residents, applicants, design professionals, Township staff, boards, commissions, and elected officials can readily identify applicable zoning requirements.
Phase 2 shall include continued coordination and engagement throughout the drafting and review process. The consultant shall participate in weekly project coordination meetings with the Township’s Zoning Officer, bi-monthly collaborative Task Force meetings, and meetings and/or presentations before the Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners as required. Phase 2 shall include a minimum of five (5) meetings and/or presentations before the Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners combined, with additional meetings as necessary.
Phase 2 shall also include a minimum of three (3) consultant lead town hall-style public meetings. The first meeting shall occur following preparation of the initial draft Zoning Ordinance and any proposed Zoning Map amendments and shall provide an opportunity for public review and comment. The final two meetings shall occur following preparation of the revised final draft and shall provide an additional opportunity for public comment prior to completion of the consultant’s work. Additional meetings with Township staff, boards, commissions, elected officials, or the public may be required as reasonably necessary.
Scope of Work:
A. Prepare a comprehensive rewrite and reorganization of the Township Zoning Ordinance. This includes updated definitions, district regulations, use regulations, dimensional standards, supplemental standards, nonconformity provisions, administrative procedures, and other provisions identified through Phase 1.
B. Develop clear, consolidated tables and reference materials that allow residents, applicants, design professionals, and Township staff to readily identify applicable zoning requirements.
C. Incorporate approved modifications to the Zoning Map as required.
D. Prepare targeted amendments to SALDO, stormwater, grading, or other related
Township regulations where necessary to eliminate conflicts and coordinate the revised Zoning Ordinance.
E. Work with Township staff, the Project Task Force, Planning Commission, Board of
Commissioners, and Township legal counsel throughout the review and revision of the ordinance, in accordance with the meeting requirements identified in this RFP.
Phase 2 Deliverables:
• Complete draft Zoning Ordinance incorporating the recommendations and policy direction established through Phase 1.
• Comprehensive Zoning Use Table identifying permitted-by-right, special exception, conditional use, accessory, and prohibited uses by zoning district, with references to applicable supplemental standards.
• Base Zoning District Dimensional and Regulatory Table summarizing lot area, lot width, setbacks, height, building coverage, impervious coverage, lot coverage and/or density where applicable, and directing users to additional applicable requirements, including steep slopes, buffers, accessory structures, parking, nonconformities, overlays, and other supplemental standards.
• Updated definitions, supplemental use standards, general development standards, environmental and performance standards, nonconformity provisions, and administrative procedures.
• Proposed Zoning Map amendments and updated Zoning Map, if authorized by the Township.
• Draft amendments to related Township ordinances, including SALDO, Stormwater Management, and other applicable provisions of the Township Code, as necessary to ensure consistency with the rewritten Zoning Ordinance.
• Presentation of the draft ordinance and any proposed Zoning Map amendments at the required public meetings, with revisions based upon Township and public feedback as appropriate.
• Existing-to-proposed ordinance pathway identifying the disposition of existing ordinance provisions and a summary of substantive regulatory changes.
• Final, adoption-ready Zoning Ordinance, related ordinance amendments, Zoning Map where applicable, graphics, tables, and supporting materials.
