The Philadelphia City Planning Commission recommended approval of five remapping bills at its monthly meeting Tuesday. The bills make the following changes to the city’s zoning maps: One bill changes a series of properties surrounded by Sepviva Street, Butler Street, Aramingo Avenue, Castor Avenue, Gaul Street, Westmoreland Street, Tulip Street, and Castor Avenue to a mix of auto-oriented commercial and industrial/commercial mixed use zoning. Most of the properties are currently zoned I-2, a medium-impact industrial classification. Another bill affects property adjacent to that in the first bill, rezoning a portion of an I-2 industrial parcel bounded by Aramingo Avenue, Wheatsheaf Lane, Belgrade Street and Butler Street to auto-oriented commercial zoning. The first bill was introduced by Councilman Mark Squilla, and the second by Councilman Bobby Henon. Both would bring the zoning classifications in line with existing land uses, as well as add some additional zoning for shopping centers in the Aramingo Ave. commercial corridor. planphilly/articles/2013/10/15/planning-commission-weighs-in-on-remapping-bills
