In case you're concerned about the new zoning code -- here's your
chance to see the draft and ask questions. I just received the message
below from Richard Redding of the City Planning Commission.

As we all know, Philadelphia's current zoning code is out-of-date.
The proposed new zoning code promises to be fair, transparent,
sensible, and smart, but we recognize it contains many changes. We
want community organizations to be well-informed about the proposed
new code and we are continuing to reach out and assist in this regard.
The staff of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission (PCPC) is
sending you this reminder that the Zoning Code Commission (ZCC) has
published a draft of the new zoning code and we are available to
review any questions or concerns that you may have. A draft of the
new code, and other helpful information, is available at
www.zoningmatters.org. If you have questions or concerns about the
new code, there are a variety of ways to get answers from PCPC and ZCC
staff and Commissioners.
First, as announced at the ZCC meeting on March 2, 2011, the Zoning
Code Commission will host a series of stakeholder meetings, which have
been dubbed as "Zoning Code Stakeholder X-Changes." We invite you and
other stakeholders to talk to staff and Commissioners about the
proposed changes to the Code during these X-Changes. Eight X-changes
will be held between March 8th and May 3rd at 1515 Arch Street on the
12th floor. The intent is to provide an opportunity for residents to
understand how the new code will work for their neighborhood.
Although there is a "focus" item for each X-Change, participants will
be able to ask questions and receive information about other sections
of the code. A schedule is attached.
Second, you can attend meetings of the Zoning Code Commission.
Citizens can make comments at the meetings, which take place at
8:00am in Room 18029 on the 18th floor of 1515 Arch Street. Upcoming
meetings are scheduled for April 13 and May 11.
Third, PCPC's Community Planning staff is available to meet with you
or your organization to help explain the new zoning code and how it is
designed to work in your community. A planner can attend the evening
meeting of your community association, or your members can request a
meeting at our offices during the workday. Contact information for
Community Planners appears below, and a map of Community Planners and
their planning districts is attached to this email as a .PDF document.
We look forward to working with you.
