This ordinance amends Section 14-533 of the Philadelphia Code to update the illustrative maps of the /MIN, Mixed Income Neighborhoods Overlay District to reflect recent redistricting changes. The amendment redefines the overlay’s boundaries across portions of North and Northeast Philadelphia, including segments of the 1st, 5th, and 7th Council Districts, by tracing new lines along Westmoreland Street, Kensington Avenue, Hagert Street, and other specified streets. The updated map improves alignment between the overlay district and current political boundaries, ensuring that eligible residential projects can take advantage of overlay incentives. The illustrative map to be added to the Code clarifies the geographic scope for developers, planners, and community stakeholders. Section 2 confirms the ordinance’s immediate effectiveness upon enactment.
