A zoning variance request was filed for 2337 S 13th St in the Lower Moyamensing area of South Philadelphia. It would add a three-story addition to the existing property and use it for fourteen apartments. The plan also includes five bicycle parking spaces.
A variance is permission to depart from the normal zoning rules. It is usually requested when a project does not fit what the zoning code allows on that lot. The county record does not say what is on the site now or how large the addition would be. It also does not say who would live there.
No news coverage, developer page, hearing decision or community meeting notes were found for this address. This explanation rests on the county record alone.
What it could mean nearby
- Fourteen new homes would add housing to the block, if approved.
- The record lists five bicycle parking spaces. It does not mention car parking, so street parking demand is unknown.
Where it stands
The county record shows a zoning variance request filed on 2024-02-15. No hearing outcome was found online. Variance requests usually go to a public hearing before the city's Zoning Board of Adjustment, which can approve, modify or deny them.
