Zoned RSA-3 and that can be changed through a Court Process if needed via: https://www.phila.gov/services/permits-violations-licenses/apply-for-a-permit/zoning-permits/get-a-zoning-permit-for-a-change-in-use-of-a-property/ AS RSA-3 YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY APPROVED AS CERTAIN TYPES OF BUSINESSES WITH OUT A ZONING CHANGE. L&I said they would approve a zoning change to "C" commercial, because of a grandfather clause on the street, and also because we are in the center of the BUSINESS DISTRICT. Though you should call L&I them 1st and tell them what type of business you want to put there. They'll say no to high traffic retail, but yes to a business with low visitors; such as a Lawyer, Insurance Company, Accountant, Real Estate Company, or similar, etc. Business street signage can be erected upon a community process via https://gbcl.online/ - Greater Bustleton Civic League. The community needs to approve your new street sign design & words. Values increased greatly in this zip code since COVID 19, as a lot of people moved out of Center City apartment buildings and into singles. There are NO ROW HOMES IN THIS ZIP CODE. In 2021, we were 1 of 60 businesses in Philadelphia that competed in the Philadelphia Flower Show's "Bloom Philly Contest" which raises awareness to the upcoming main event, the largest & oldest Flower Show in America, ...thus explaining the 200 landscaping photos which show our 260 nursery pots surrounding the property landscaping. SEE LINK AT END FOR 250 PHOTOS. Great for a business that wants to put up a street sign, since we get 25,000 cars a day, as according to the reports at: https://www.dvrpc.org/webmaps/TrafficCounts and also https://gis.penndot.gov/BPR_PDF_FILES/MAPS/Traffic/Traffic_Volume/County_Maps/Philadelphia_tv.pdf Your basically buying Commercial, but paying a Residential Mortgage % Rate. As an example at 3.25% with 10% down, your payments are $1,400 a month. This is much cheaper than a retail store lease on Grant Ave., and this property is 10 times larger than the average stores on this street. This property is priced $250k to $500k less than the "commercials" sold on Castor Ave & Bustleton Ave. We are much larger, and in a better neighborhood. We have plenty of room to build a very large addition in the backyard. To see 250 more photos go to our Google Drive - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yL9tv91J-BIwQNjA5eehfXR0S7HzG1ga . .
