[UC] Forwarded from the Planning Commission about the new zoning code
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. Al Krigman As we all know, Philadelphia's current zoning code is out-of-date.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. --- Community Planning staff: Lower Far Northeast Mike Thompson 215-683-4632 Email: michael.thomp...@phila.gov Upper Far Northeast Mike Thompson 215-683-4632 Email: michael.thomp...@phila.gov Central Northeast Mike Thompson 215-683-4632 Email: michael.thomp...@phila.gov Lower Northeast Ian Litwin 215-683-4609 Email: ian.lit...@phila.gov North Delaware Ian Litwin 215-683-4609 Email: ian.lit...@phila.gov Center City Laura Spina 215-683-4638 Email: laura.sp...@phila.gov South Jennifer Barr 215-683-4672 Email: jennifer.b...@phila.gov Lower South Jennifer Barr 215-683-4672 Email: jennifer.b...@phila.gov Lower Southwest Jennifer Barr 215-683-4672 Email: jennifer.b...@phila.gov University/ Southwest Andy Meloney 215-683-4656 Email: andrew.melo...@phila.gov West Andy Meloney 215-683-4656 Email: andrew.melo...@phila.gov West Park Andy Meloney: 215-683-4656 Email: andrew.melo...@phila.gov Lower North Dave Fecteau 215-683-4670 Email: david.fect...@phila.gov North David Ortiz 215-683-4616 Email: david.or...@phila.gov Upper North David Ortiz 215-683-4616 Email: david.or...@phila.gov River Wards Dave Fecteau 215-683-4670 Email: david.fect...@phila.gov Lower Northwest Matt Wysong 215-683-4650 Email: matt.wys...@phila.gov Upper Northwest Matt Wysong 215-683-4650 Email: matt.wys...@phila.gov
[UC] Fwd: Lost: German Shepherd Pup - vic. 47th Hazel
I met a man this morning who was searching for his dog. He and his wife were visiting family on the 4700 block of Hazel. The dog got out of their van last night and they are anxiously searching for him. Their phone number is in the dog's collar. I gave him the UCList list for him to post it himself, but I don't see any thing yet.
