CAD-BV
City Avenue-Bala Village District
City Avenue is the boundary between the City of Philadelphia and Lower Merion Township. The City Avenue District encompasses properties on both the Lower Merion and Philadelphia sides of the Avenue. The Township has worked cooperatively with the City to encourage development and redevelopment of the City Avenue District.; The intent of this article is to encourage development that combines residential, institutional, and commercial uses in close proximity thus decreasing auto dependency, encouraging pedestrian access, transit use and shared parking and accessways, and mitigating the effects of congestion, vehicular traffic and pollution. The regulations promote pedestrian friendly development and protect the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Lower Merion Township. Further, this article is designed to enhance the economic stability of the Township by promoting the growth, attractiveness, convenience and stability of the City Avenue area.; The City Avenue corridor binds the uses within the City Avenue District into a unique configuration with many common development characteristics. However, because of the diverse concentration of commercial, institutional, office and residential uses within the district’s geographical boundaries, the City Avenue District is being divided into three separate zoning districts, the Regional Center Area CAD-RCA, the Bala Cynwyd Retail District CAD-BCR, and the Bala Village CAD-BV.
