Zoning rules in Philadelphia are complex—and if your project does not fit neatly within the code, you may need to pursue a variance or special exception. This white paper, authored by Alan Nochumson, gives property owners, developers, and real estate professionals a clear, step-by-step guide to what comes next when a zoning application is refused or referred.
From filing the appeal and preparing for a community meeting to presenting before the Zoning Board of Adjustment, this guide explains each stage of the process in practical terms—with insights drawn from real experience in the city’s zoning landscape.
It also includes examples and images of the official forms you will need, so you know exactly what to expect before you start. Whether you are pursuing a new development, a change of use, or a renovation that does not meet current code, this resource will help you move forward with confidence.
