AGENDA

  1. Approval of the Minutes of the August 21, 2007 meeting.

  2. Executive Director's Update.

  3. Cira South - Informational Presentation Only (Introduction by William Kramer)

  4. Bill No. 070437 - Amending the Philadelphia Zoning maps by changing the zoning designations of certain areas of land located within an area bounded by Grant Avenue, Frankford Avenue, Person Street, and the I-95 Expressway. (Introduced by Councilwoman Krajewski on May 24, 2007) (Paula Brumbelow)

  5. Proposed City Plan Changes:

    1. The revisions to the lines and grades of the City Plan No. 231, by re-alignment of the legally open Cross Street and Gates Street to Hermitage Street, to better reflect the existing conditions. The purpose is to allow a residential development that proposes to build 16 single-family dwellings with 12 units fronting on Cross Street. (William Erickson)

    2. To strike Reese Street from the City Plan No. 97. Reese Street is to be stricken from Kater Street to Bainbridge Street. The purpose is to allow the abutting neighbors to convert a public street to a private pedestrian walkway; the abutting neighbors have agreed to convert Reese Street (12' wide) to a private walkway. (William Erickson)

    3. To strike 30th Street from the City Plan No. 42. This City Plan change will strike 30th Street from Walnut Street south to a dead end. This is to allow the University of Pennsylvania to expand its athletic fields as part of its Penn Connect Plan. The University of Pennsylvania has acquired the postal property, and therefore, owns both sides of Walnut Street. (William Erickson)

    4. To place 26th Street on the City Plan No. 52s and 53s from Penrose Avenue to the Philadelphia Naval Business Center (PNBC). The purpose of this placement is to assist the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC) to physically improve the utilities and street access to the PNBC and this action will help future redevelopment including the Tasty Baking Company's new 350,000 square foot facility. (William Erickson)

    5. Revision to the line and grades of Stout Road in the City Plan No. 190 by striking 2' from the northerly sidewalk (15' wide) of Stout Road from City Avenue a distance of 563'. The purpose is to legalize existing conditions created by the construction of the Homewood Suites Hotel that encroaches 2' within the right of way. (William Erickson)
