This bill amends Philadelphia's zoning code to provide further provisions on non-conforming uses in specific councilmanic districts (5th, 8th, and 10th). Non-conforming uses that are discontinued and replaced with a new use without a zoning permit will be deemed abandoned. This change applies only to these three districts.
