BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Developer Dennis Benner pictures an “upscale” car wash “and/or” a drive-thru restaurant for a notable stretch in West Bethlehem. To make that happen, he’s requesting the city change the zoning classification of a 4-acre part of an 11-acre parcel at 1401 Eighth Ave. from Mixed Use Commercial to Commercial Shopping Center. That area is across the street from the former Martin Tower site — once home to the 21-story Bethlehem Steel corporate headquarters building.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Following a City Council vote, a local developer now can further pursue its plan to construct 70 apartments and commercial space at a busy corner in Center City. The 5-2 vote on April 1 reclassified two nearby properties at 11 and 15 W. Garrison St. from High Density Residential District to Commercial Business District — a switch to match seven surrounding parcels. Councilwomen Grace Crampsie Smith and Hillary Kwiatek opposed the zoning map amendment.
