zoning variance at 1121 South 48th Street
Dear Councilwoman Blackwell,
Please support the West Philadelphia Cooperative School / Milan Marvelous application for a zoning variance at 1121 South 48th Street. I know you to be a strong advocate for education and hope that you support the West Philadelphia Cooperative School in their quest to provide quality early childhood education to more families in our neighborhood. The West Philadelphia Cooperative School provides child-centered learning at a low teacher to student ratio and at a fair cost for families our neighborhood. Our family has benefited in many ways from our involvement in WPCS. (+ unique example).
If the West Philadelphia Cooperative School has your support for the zoning variance then they can be around for many more years to serve the growing population of families that make West Philadelphia their home. Please support the West Philadelphia Cooperative School / Milan Marvelous application for a zoning variance at 1121 South 48th Street.
Thank you,

Why is this important?
our school has been working very hard over the last year to secure a school space of our own. After months of searching, we found a building that exceeds many of the needs that our membership identified: lots of light, high ceilings, large outdoor space, sufficient square footage, within walking distance, adaptability to meet fire code, adaptability to meet the ADA requirements and have the residential quality that we have come to value through our time on Baltimore Avenue. What this building is missing, however, is the proper zoning classification for our use. Even though we do not feel like a commercial operation, the city classifies any group of children greater than 7 to be a "commercial day care center" thus requiring "C" zoning.
