Our Role in Zoning and Development
The East Falls Community Council (EFCC) plays a pivotal role in reviewing zoning and development proposals within our neighborhood. As a registered community organization, we serve as a bridge between residents and city officials, ensuring that community feedback is accurately represented before the Philadelphia Zoning Board of Adjustment. Our mission is to empower residents by providing a platform for collective input on neighborhood changes, fostering transparency, and advocating for developments that align with the community's vision.
The Review Process Explained
Step 1
Initial Proposal Submission
Developers submit their zoning and development proposals to the EFCC for initial review and feedback.
Step 2
Community Feedback Gathering
We organize meetings and forums to gather input from residents, ensuring their voices are integral to the decision-making process.
Step 3
Representation at Zoning Board
The EFCC presents the community's collective feedback and concerns to the Philadelphia Zoning Board of Adjustment, advocating for outcomes that reflect local interests.
