The PSCA Zoning Committee will be holding a special meeting for the proposed development at 1233 South Broad St on Tuesday September 15th, 2009 at 6:30. The meeting will be held at Methodist Hospital (Broad & Ritner Sts) in the Morgan Conference Room (Basement Level). The original proposal was for the construction of a 6-story mixed use building.

PHS will soon be announcing the folks who will receive trees for the 2009 Fall tree planting. Stay tuned. PSCA encourages everyone who receives a tree to participate in the 2009 Fall Planting. This is a fun event where neighbors can meet one another and help contribute to greening our community. Questions and comments may be sent to trees@passyunk.org.

The PSCA Zoning Committee will review the following cases at its February meeting. The Zoning Committee meets the second Tuesday of every month at 7pm. Meetings take place at the South Philadelphia Older Adults Center (SPOAC) on the corner of E. Passyunk Avenue and Dickinson Streets.

The PSCA Zoning Committee meetings are an opportunity for neighbors to hear the details of zoning applications within our civic association boundaries. The Zoning Committee does not make any final decisions on these zoning applications, but we do send letters to the Philadelphia Zoning Board Administration. Those letters outline the neighbors’ thoughts on the application and the Zoning Committee’s decision to either oppose or not oppose the proposal.
