Appeal to Philadelphia Zoning Board of Adjustment:
Application No. ZP-2023-004951;
Zoning Board of Adjustment Calendar No. MI-2023-005618.
Philadelphia Zoning Board of Adjustment Hearing: Wednesday, February 21, 2024 @ 9:30AM.
This is an appeal to legalize a deck at the rear of the existing attached single-family home.
The Zoning Classification for the property is RSA-5 (Single-Family Residential)
The application to the Department of Licenses and Inspections was REFUSED because the deck has a stair going to the ground that is not permitted if the principal building is an attached building. Also, the permitted maximum occupied area of the property is 75% (923.61 sq. ft.). The proposed occupied area of the property will be 78.79 % (958 sq. ft.). The required minimum rear yard depth is 9 feet. The proposed rear yard depth is 6.3 feet.
6401 Wayne Avenue #ZP-2023-006432
Description of the Property: This vacant property is the former longtime home of the Green Tree School. The site consists of a main building, approximately 6,500 SQ FT, and a garage/carriage house, approximately 500 SQ FT. The property has an existing curb cut connecting to a driveway with four off-street parking spaces.
Description of the Project: The applicant aims to convert this former school into 8 apartments – 7 apartments to be located in the main building and 1 apartment to be located in the carriage house. A new dormer will be constructed on the carriage house and an additional 4 parking spaces will be added for a total of 8 off street parking spaces.
Summary of Refusal: The current single family zoning does not allow multi-family household living and does not allow the carriage house to be converted into a living space. The addition of a dormer is not allowed on the carriage house because the structure is too close to the rear boundary. There are two parking related refusals because one parking space is too close to the front boundary and one of the parking spaces is not van accessible.
