PCPC adopts policy for accepting community-based plans as official guidance documents
02/17/2010 |
ZCC Regular Session
Zoning Code Commission chair Alan Greenberger announced that the Philadelphia City Planning Commission voted unanimously to adopt a set of guidelines for formally accepting community-based plans as a point of reference for city planning work. The guidelines seek to improve coordination between community-based plans and city plans and policies and ensure neighborhood residents are included in the planning process. Mr. Greenberger emphasized that “accepting” the plans as a guidance document is not the same as “adopting” the plans. The guidelines state that a letter of acceptance does not obligate the commission “to support each and every recommendation.” Click here to view the guidelines.
