Amending Chapter 21-1100 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Community Development," by amending Section 21-1105, entitled "City Council Oversight and Plan Approval," all under certain terms and conditions.

AI summary

This lapsed bill would have changed Philadelphia’s community development rules so City Council approval was required when the Office of Housing and Community Development proposed changes affecting 2% or more of a year’s Community Development Block Grant funds, instead of 10% or more. It also would have preserved an opportunity for interested residents to provide written or spoken testimony before Council approved such changes.
