What we do
As part of the
Philadelphia Department of Planning and Development,
the Philadelphia City Planning Commission (PCPC) is a bridge between the public and the government.
We guide investment and growth in Philadelphia. The goal is to create neighborhoods that are well-connected, affordable, and desirable places to live and work.
As outlined in the City's charter, PCPC oversees the:
Physical development plan of the City, or
the Comprehensive Plan
.
Zoning ordinances, maps, and amendments.
Capital Program and Budget.
Streets and land subdivisions.
Recommendations to City Council related to zoning and development legislation.
The Comprehensive Plan is a policy document that focuses on land-based issues. Community groups, City Council members, and developers can use the plan as a road map for development in their areas.
