Mayor-elect Jim Kenney announced on Monday that he has selected Anne Fadullon to serve as the Director of Planning and Development, a new position that was created when voters approved a change to the Home Rule Charter aimed at streamlining the city’s agencies that regulate development.
Anne Fadullon, the city’s new Director of Planning and Development, was sworn in as a member of the City Planning Commission on Tuesday. Immediately after being sworn in, Fadullon was nominated to be chairwoman of the Commission and approved by a unanimous vote.
Fadullon takes over the top seat on the Commission from Alan Greenberger, who was deputy mayor for planning and economic development under former mayor Michael Nutter. Joe Syrnick, director of the Schuylkill River Development Corporation, will remain vice-chair of the Planning Commission.
After the swearing in, the Commission quickly moved to recommend zoning variances for two large projects that went through Civic Design Review earlier this month, one on North American Street in South Kensington and the other near 37th and Market streets. |
