An Overview of the Philadelphia Zoning Process for Engineers
IEEE VTS Philadelphia Chapter Meeting
The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) Philadelphia Chapter is invited to join the Philadelphia Chapter of the Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers for a professional presentation on An Overview of the Philadelphia Zoning Process for Engineers by Meredith L. Ferleger, Esq., Dilworth Paxson, LLP.
Securing entitlements for a project in Philadelphia requires interaction with a variety of stakeholders throughout the process, including pre-requisite review agencies, permitting departments, City Council members, and local communities. Project Engineers are frequently called on to provide critical support to the project team, which may include the developer, architects, attorneys and other consultants with the common goal to see the project to fruition. If a variance is required, the Engineering team is relied upon to provide crucial information on the project’s impacts concerning noise, traffic, environmental issues, and other “non-zoning” related aspects of the project that are important to address while working with numerous stakeholders throughout the process. Join Meredith L. Ferleger, Esq. of Dilworth Paxson LLP on September 4th for a discussion surrounding the Philadelphia zoning process and learn of how the engineering team may assist to shepherd the project from the first filing to the issuance of a Zoning Permit.
There is no charge for meeting attendance, only for PDH certificates. The PDH certificate is provided through the Philadelphia Chapter of PSPE, not the IEEE. PSPE believes the “course” will be accepted for credit in PA, NJ, and other National Model states where courses do not required pre-approval. This course has not been certified for credit in the State of NY. No payment to the IEEE or evaluation form on the VTS website is required.
