Thank you very much, Mr. Decker. We have no reports from Stated Meeting October 1, 2020 2ND READING committee today, so we will proceed with the consideration of the public comment. We will actually now take a brief fiveto ten-minute recess to give our technology professionals some time to connect the speakers we have for today to the meeting. Hopefully this will be a little more efficient than what we've been doing in the past, so we can tee people up and have them go on, not to mention the fact that we want to make sure that they hear the guidelines associated with the public comment. So we'll just take a five- to ten-minutes recess.
Mr. President, would you mind if we called up the resolutions and bills that are on Second Reading and Final Passage first?
I'm sorry. Yeah. I'm sorry. I got you. We'll call up the next order of business. There being no bills on the First Reading Calendar, the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Parker for the purpose of calling up resolutions and bills on the Second Reading and Final Passage Calendar.

All other bills and resolutions are being held, Mr. President. Stated Meeting October 1, 2020
Thank you so much, Councilwoman. Again, thank you for that catch. I'll go through this again. Before we proceed with the public comment, we'll take a brief five- to ten-minute recess to give our technology professionals some time to connect the speakers we have for our meeting today. This will allow them to hear the guidelines that have been established for public comment. So we'll come back in about five to ten minutes. Thank you. (Brief recess.)
Thank you. We will proceed with our public comment process. Now that everyone is connected to the meeting and before considering the resolutions and bills we have before us today, we will consider the public comment, and it will go as follows: Your public comment must concern matters on the Second Reading and Stated Meeting October 1, 2020 Final Passage Calendar for possible action at a session of Council. A speaker on any of those matters must sign up in order to testify. You must call 215-686-3406 by 5:00 p.m. the day before the session to sign up for public comment. When you call, we will take your name, phone number, the number of the legislative item you are commenting on, and whether you are in support or against the legislation, and we will add you to the list. We will telephone each person of the list during the Council session and invite them to our remote meeting. We will have three minutes to speak today. So we ask that you state your name for the record and you move directly to your testimony. A timer will be started and we will monitor your remaining time throughout your testimony. When 30 seconds remain to your time, we will remind you of this. Once your allotted Stated Meeting October 1, 2020 time has passed, you will be asked to conclude your remarks. Shortly thereafter you will be muted and disconnected from the remote meeting. So, Mr. Decker -- I want people to also understand and be aware that the public meeting is being recorded. Because the meeting is public, participants and viewers have no reasonable expectation of privacy. So by continuing to be in the meeting, you are consenting to being recorded. I want to now ask the Chief Clerk to please read the name of our first speaker.
Yeah. Good morning. Good morning. Please state your name for the record and proceed with your testimony. Stated Meeting October 1, 2020
Good morning. Thank you. My name is Aaron Bauman and I am a volunteer with 5th Square PAC and I am here to urge Council to vote against the exclusionary zoning overlay for Society Hill, Bill No. 200094. This proposal is antithetical to the City's housing goals, environmental goals, and racial justice goals. Society Hill is a neighborhood built on a history of urban renewal and displacement of working-class residents. Today, Society Hill is one of the richest and whitest neighborhoods in the City and already enjoys several special exemptions to citywide zoning rules, so I don't doubt Council's intentions aren't explicitly racist. Creating a carveout to limit housing development in a rich, white neighborhood will necessarily have racist outcomes. Imposing arbitrary height limits and eliminating historic building bonuses won't stop luxury development and displacement, but will Stated Meeting October 1, 2020 force development outward to more vulnerable, poorer, and more diverse neighborhoods south, north, and west of Center City. Society Hill is a core neighborhood of Center City Philadelphia, as much as some residents might like to imagine otherwise. Tightening the exclusivity in Society Hill and refusing to absorb their fair share of housing is the wrong choice for our city. And with regard to councilmanic prerogative, the choices we make in Society Hill and elsewhere in the First District have impacts for all of Philadelphia. Please, Councilmembers, I urge you to vote no on this bill. Thank you.
Good morning. Please state your name for the record and proceed with your testimony.
Yes. Okay. Hello. My name is Benjamin She and I'm a volunteer with Urbanist Advocacy Group 5th Square. As an organization committed to equitable development and fair housing throughout the City, we are staunchly opposed to Bill 200094 that would introduce an exclusionary zoning overlay for Society Hill. Imposing a 45-foot height limit on the blocks closest to Old City and requiring parking and use restrictions for historically certified properties, the bill will stifle new housing in the transit and jobless section of Center City and place future adaptive reuse efforts for historical Stated Meeting October 1, 2020 buildings in jeopardy. Having known Society Hill was a neighborhood radically altered in the 1960s through City-led urban renewal, hundreds of working-class and minority residents were displaced through wholesale demolition, directly leading to an upscale gentrification of the neighborhood where row houses easily sell for well over $1 million today. Multiple mid-rises on Walnut Street were expressly demolished in a wanton act of architectural purification, buildings that would be barred from being rebuilt with this overlay. As architectural historical historian Starr Herr-Cardillo puts it, Society Hill as we know it today is much more a product of 1960s urban renewal than 18th century Philadelphia. Letting a handful of residents define Society Hill's urban context while ignoring its history of wanton urban renewal that it demolished non-conforming Stated Meeting October 1, 2020 new rises is the epitome of hypocrisy and the opposite of good preservation policy. Secondly, it is wholly inequitable and unjust that City Council would take up zoning code legislation developed through a single private organization, the Society Hill Civic organization, without so much as even consulting proper channels through the City. The Society Hill neighborhood plan was not developed in coordination with the City Planning Commission and thus never received the proper level of public engagement and feedback that a typical neighborhood plan would expect. Indeed, PCPC Director Anne Fadullon had expressed her opposition for the overlay. The consequences and the planning in Society Hill don't just affect Society Hill. There are secondary effects and ramifications throughout the City. What no other neighborhood in Stated Meeting October 1, 2020 Center City has, this district is highlighted for its commercial zones. Society Hill is tying their exclusivity and refusing to absorb underlying demand for high-end housing. This will only send housing pressure outward to vulnerable neighborhoods in South, North, and West Philadelphia and accelerate displacement and housing pressure outward. Society Hill was and always will be a part of Center City and exactly where we should be providing abundant housing for all income levels for maximum opportunity and minimum risk of displacements. 5th Square has shared a petition that collected over 240 signatures in just three days. If this bill goes through, your actions could be (inaudible) for other affluent neighborhoods to follow throughout the City, and Philadelphia could very soon become a city facing a dire Stated Meeting October 1, 2020 gentrification and displacement crisis on the level of San Francisco and New York. We strongly urge Council to state their opposition to this bill. Thank you.
The next speaker is Larry Spector, commenting on 200094 and 200095. (No response.)
