Chief Clerk

An ordinance to amend the Institutional Development District Master Plan of Temple University by allowing for the construction of additions to Pearson and McGonigle Halls which are located at 1800 North Broad Street.

Council President Verna

The Chair recognizes Councilman Clarke.

Councilman Clarke

Thank you, 4/22/10 - STATED - 2ND READING Madam President. Madam President, I would like to offer this amendment. The amendment essentially adds an exhibit, which is a map, that's required by the Law Department to a bill that will allow Temple to redevelop the existing McGonigle Hall by adding an additional floor. So at this time, I believe the amendment has been circulated to all members and I would like to make a motion to adopt an amendment to Bill No. 100133. (Duly seconded.)

Council President Verna

It has been moved and seconded that the amendment offered on Bill No. 100133 be adopted. All in favor will say aye. (Aye.)

Council President Verna

Those opposed? (No response.)

Council President Verna

The ayes have it, and the amendment has been 4/22/10 - STATED - 2ND READING adopted. We will now consider Bill No. 100161.

Chief Clerk

An ordinance amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Zoning and Planning," by amending Section 14-703.2, entitled "Passive Recreation District," by revising the rules and regulations that apply within passive recreation districts.

Council President Verna

This bill having been read on two different days, the question now is shall the bill pass finally.

Councilman Green

Madam President?

Council President Verna

I'm sorry. Councilman Green.

Councilman Green

Thank you, Madam President. I have spoken with Councilman O'Neill about this bill, and just for the record, I have had a lot of calls from some parks and environmental 4/22/10 - STATED - 2ND READING groups about this bill and just wanted to confirm for the record from Councilman O'Neill that this bill applies to only one park in the City, the Benjamin Rush Park. Thank you.

Council President Verna

Thank you. Councilman O'Neill.

Councilman O'Neill

That is correct. And it's a State park that will be built according to zoning, and the zoning is kind of tailored to the State's plan. They changed their plan. We had to modify some of the provisions in the Passive Recreation category. But the only mapped site in this City is the Benjamin Rush State Park site at Southampton and the Boulevard.

Council President Verna
