Corrective Re-Mapping
On Roberts Avenue between King Street and Wissahickon Avenue is a block of two-story single-family rowhouses, however, the present zoning is a multi-family designation (R10). The study recommends re-mapping this district to R10A, a single-family rowhouse designation, to preserve the existing residential character of the block.
