www.philaplanning.org/pubinfo/agendas/agenda090721.html Here's what this says: "Zoning Bill 090517: Remapping the area bounded by Walnut, 42nd, Locust, and 43rd Streets from R9 multi-family residential use to R9A single-family residential use (Presented by Paula Brumbelow; Introduced by Councilmember Blackwell on June 18, 2009)." And Gary Jastzrb of the PCPC stated that the whole thing involved changing the 200 block of St Marks Place (Locust to Walnut) to single- from multi-family. But then, why does the bill (a different abstract is on-line today than was there earlier this week -- but the whole bill is still among the missing) mention "certain areas of land located within an area bounded by Walnut Street, 42nd Street, Locust Street and 43rd Street."? This not only encompasses much more than St Mark's Place, but includes a lot of property that's other than residential. The area presently has R5, R9, C2, and C3. Very confusing. Why not just say "the 200 Block of St Marks Place"? To see the zoning map, go to _http://citymaps10.phila.gov/ZoningOverlay/_ (http://citymaps10.phila.gov/ZoningOverlay/) and do a search for an address in the area such as 4240 Walnut.
