Public Meeting-314 S. 46th Street

Garden Court Community Association has convened a public meeting concerning a proposed adaptive re-use and new construction project at 314 S 46th Street, the Good Shepherd Community Church.

The meeting will take place on Tuesday, 4 June 2019 at 6:00 pm, at the Spruce Hill Community Center, 257 S 45th Street, Philadelphia PA. The proposed project involves renovating the existing structure and building a new 3-story structure to accommodate a total of 32 residences. The project was refused by the Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections because it does not comply with the use and dimensional standards permitted in the RSA-3 zone; details are in the attached refusal form.

The applicant is making an appeal to the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA). The Garden Court Community Association has been identified as the Coordinating Registered Community Association and, accordingly, its Zoning Committee is hosting a public meeting to discuss the project. Area residents will have opportunity to ask questions and make comment. A nonbinding public vote will be taken and shared with the ZBA. The GCCA will, separately, determine whether to submit a letter of support, opposition, or non-opposition, including any explanation of or conditions for each. The ZBA will then make its own determination as to whether to permit the project to proceed. Please contact zoning@gardencourtca.org with any questions.
