PCPC names members of Civic Design Review Committee

Philadelphia City Planning Commission

Philadelphia’s new zoning code established a Civic Design Review (CDR) Committee to provide a consistent and organized public discussion process for projects that will have a significant impact on the public realm of a neighborhood. Six members of the committee were appointed by Mayor Nutter. The seventh seat is rotating and will be filled by a representative of the local Registered Community Organization where the project is located. 

The city’s first CDR Committee includes:

• Nancy Rogo Trainer, principal at VSBA, LLC, architect, and member of the City Planning Commission since 2008;
• Michael Johns, acting deputy executive director for operations at the Philadelphia Housing Authority and architect;
• Anita Toby Lager, managing principal at LRSLAstudio and landscape architect;
• Dan Garofalo, environmental sustainability coordinator and senior facilities planner at the University of Pennsylvania;
• Anne Fadullon, director of real estate development and investment at the Dale Corporation; and
• Cecil Baker, architect and long-standing Washington Square West Civic Association zoning committee member.
