COMMUNICATION 030841

This communication reports that Mayor John F.

December 3, 2003 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: I am herewith returning to you as disapproved Bill Number 030657, which would amend the Passyunk Avenue Special District Controls section of the Zoning Code. Notably, the legislation prohibits a number of new "uses" in commercially zoned properties fronting Passyunk Avenue between Washington Avenue and Twenty-fifth Street including the operation of "any establishment with a license from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board for the 'after-hours' sale of alcoholic beverages." It is my understanding that municipalities are pre-empted from legislating in the area of liquor regulation, and therefore this measure exceeds Council's powers under State law. For these reasons, and all of the reasons stated above, I cannot support this measure. Respectfully, John F. Street, Esquire Mayor - City of Philadelphia
