Great height debate winding down?

The debate over how tall buildings should be in the borough may be winding down, at least for now.

Borough Council will vote tomorrow on changes to its height ordinance. In short, if the proposal receives approval, it would allow the maximum height of buildings to be 75 feet through the conditional use process, or 90 feet, if a project is at least 25 percent residential. The proposal came after many, many months of meetings and discussions. Yours truly sat through a lot of those meetings.

Of course, the next council can come in and change whatever the current council decides to do tomorrow. And even if the new ordinance is approved, it seems the debate about appropriate development will continue, due to plans for a hotel, condomenium project and 110-foot office building that have recently come before council.

Tomorrow's special hearing starts at 6 p.m. at Borough Hall.
