CCRA Zoning Meeting for 19th and Lombard Streets

The agenda for the May 28th CCRA zoning meeting included the review of a proposal to develop 1901-1919 Lombard Street. Specifically, the application for the subdivision of one existing lot (1901-1919 Lombard) to create ten new lots, for the creation of a shared easement and for the complete demolition of all existing structures. It was opposed, apparently for not meeting city requirements such as maximum total building height, rear yard area, minimum open area, and minimum lot area.

You can find the CCRA meeting minutes here.

Does anyone have any further information on this proposal?

Phillies Tickets

The 17th Police District Advisory Council (PDAC) is holding a raffle for tickets to a Phillies "2 seats for 3 games" package. Tickets are $1.00 each or $5.00 for six. Only a thousand are being sold, so winning is not impossible! The games are July 11 (Nationals), August 4 (Braves), and September 20 (Mets). Drawing will be held June 25.

The funds will be used to support various projects such as "Blue Ribbon Day" (honoring police officers who have provided outstanding service), and police/community activities such as Fun Day and the Children's Christmas party.

The 17 District PDAC was formed during a citywide effort in the early 1990s to create Councils for the purpose of liaison between police departments and their communities. PDAC believes that the collaboration of area residents and businesses with Philadelphia Police is an important aspect of crime prevention and control.

If interested, contact us or the 17th District.
