Brief Description of the Zoning Review Process
Developers must apply to
Licenses & Inspections for a
zoning permit that authorizes construction. L&I reviews the construction
plans for compliance with Philadelphia zoning regulations. If the plans are not in compliance, L&I issues a
refusal.
Zoning refusals may be appealed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a
variance
or
special exception.
Before a developer can present his appeal before the ZBA, he is required to present his plans at a public meeting
at a Registered Community Organization such as CRCA.
ZBA hearings are open to the public. Organizations such as CRCA may choose to send a letter of support,
non-opposition or opposition to the ZBA, and they may testify at the hearing to present their position.
Any member of the public is also free to send letters expressing their position and they are also free to testify at the ZBA hearings.

The applicant's request for variance was denied on 4/23/14 (see Appeals Denied by the ZBA below) but is being re-heard
by the ZBA on the basis of a modified request.
Here is the explanation from the applicants representative:
"Our client appeared before the Zoning Board of Adjustment on April 23, 2014 to request a variance for a two family dwelling.
The variance was denied as the ZBA determined that this was an “overuse of the property.” However, the ZBA granted our motion
for reconsideration, and will re-hear the variance request. My clients are now proposing to simply close the plumbing
office on the first floor and relinquish any legal right to such use, and seek legalization of the currently existing
two apartments on the first floor and the apartment on the second floor.
The parcel is an existing RSA-5 Residential District, and the applicant was issued a use refusal for; (1) The proposed use,
two additional family dwellings is not permitted in this zoning district. No new construction or increase in use from
what currently exists is contemplated by the pending application."
