A landowner appealed to the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court from the Court of Common Pleas order that reversed a zoning board’s grant of a special exception. The zoning board allowed the development of a food court in an abandoned warehouse and a special exception and variance for developing a nearby parcel as off-site parking for the food court. The Commonwealth Court agreed with the zoning board, finding that the landowner satisfied the criteria for special exceptions under the city’s zoning code and demonstrated a hardship for the variance.
