As we have reported here and elsewhere, during the last several years, three of Chestnut Hill’s Registered Community Organizations – Chestnut Hill Community Association, Chestnut Hill Business District and Chestnut Hill Conservancy – have worked together in response to community feedback to create a new model for the Philadelphia Zoning Code’s advisory development review process in Chestnut Hill.
Initially, the new model will be a one-year pilot initiative.
A community meeting soliciting feedback on guidelines for the new process was held in April. The board of directors of each organization approved a final draft in June and approved an operational memorandum of understanding between our organizations in September.

We look forward to piloting this new initiative and sharing more information as it becomes available.
