Walnut Hill zoning meeting to discuss development projects on Sansom, S. 52nd Streets

March 6, 2017

The Walnut Hill Community Association will hold a public zoning meeting on Tuesday, March 7, to discuss a few development projects proposed in the area.

Developers have requested zoning variance for construction of a four-story, nine-unit apartment building at 4622-24 Sansom St. The building will include a roof deck with a pilot house and a covered porch (see rendering image). The building’s height is requested at 38 feet. 

Another development project to be discussed at the upcoming meeting is a plan to build a three-story 7-unit apartment building on a vacant lot at 249 S. 52nd Street. The first floor of the building will also contain one commercial space. The owner is also proposing only one off-street parking space, which requires zoning variance because there is a requirement for the minimum of three off-street parking spaces in a CMX-3 District.

The meeting will be held at The Enterprise Center (4548 Market St.), beginning at 6 p.m.

More information about the meeting is available on the community association’s Facebook page.

    What’s a “pilot house” when it isn’t on a river boat?

    Shouldn’t that read: The building will include a roof deck and a covered porch accessed by a pilot house (see rendering image). Unless of course you are landing on the roof via helicopter in order to access the pilot house.

    With the stuff on the roof, that’s basically a 5 floor building. 38/5 = 7.6 feet per floor.
