How the zoning code affects developers and neighbors

    There’s been plenty of coverage about Philadelphia’s Zoning Code changes. We’ve learned how it will affect particular neighborhoods, variances and specific structures.

    But until now, there’s been no clear-cut explanation of the process. Enter PlanPhilly.
    The NewsWorks partner has a follow-up to a series it ran at the end of last year, in which the publication assumed the role of the developer and tried to change the use of a Northern Liberties property. All things considered, the process was fairly easy.

    Now learn how the zoning code affects the neighbors of properties in question. Pay close attention, because this is one of those city policies that can actually have a direct impact for you.
