Zoning Board Rejects 420-Unit Lancaster Avenue Project, Developer Vows Fight

5100 Lancaster Ave. — Approximate Site of Proposed 45-Unit Building. A proposal to build 420 apartments across three Lancaster Avenue properties in West Philadelphia's Cathedral Park area has stalled at the Zoning Board of Adjustment, which ruled against the developer following a contentious hearing on Oct. 21. The plan from Haverford Square Properties called for 42 affordable units, but it also asked for a building six feet taller than current zoning allows, a sticking point that proved decisive before the board.

On a gray morning in Center City, the elevators at the Comcast towers still moved with their usual hush, but the talk on the sidewalks had shifted.

For a city that has treated the cable and broadband giant as both employer and civic symbol, the notice carried a weight that went beyond a single human resources memo.
