Chestnut Hill has remained a vital
community since its annexation with the City more than 100 years ago,
by controlling it destiny through a strong community. In the 1950s
and 1960s local residents established a formal organization,
the Chestnut Hill Community Association, dedicated to the social and
economic well-being of the neighborhood.
One of its most important roles is to offer guidance to businesses
and homeowners who wish to develop properties in the neighborhood.
The charm and visual appeal of Chestnut Hills shopping district
does not happen by chance. It is maintained through the volunteer
vigilence of the communitys Design Review Committee and the
Land Use Planning and Zoning Committee.
If businesses or homeowners seek zoning changes, variances, or nonconforming
use permits, they must come before the Community Association to seek
approval before the City of Philadelphia will act.
The downloadable application will start the process.
