The Philadelphia City Council has adopted an ordinance to amend Chapter 14-600, 'Use Regulations,' of Title 14 ('Zoning and Planning') of The Philadelphia Code. This amendment clarifies the conditions under which certain eating and drinking establishments will require special exception approval. The new guidelines aim to provide more specific criteria for businesses based on their characteristics, ensuring a more consistent application of zoning regulations. This legislative action intends to refine existing rules to allow for appropriate oversight and community input for establishments that may have a significant impact on their surrounding neighborhoods.
