- 65 apartments: At 3811 Main St., Manayunk, by developer Mark Goldner, who also did for example Kingsley Court in Roxborough (Zoning Bill 140969).

- Stores, offices, but not factories: Zoning Bill 141031 rezones the blocks at the foot of the Ben Franklin Bridge, from about 2d to 6th, Vine to Wood, for "commercial" (CMX-3) and no longer "industrial" (ICMX) uses.

They'll also review the South Philadelphia District Plan and the Philadelphia Land Bank Strategic Plan and Disposition policies, among other items.
