Last month, in Liberties Lofts v. Zoning Board of Adjustment, 2018 Pa. Commw. LEXIS 106 (April 2), the Commonwealth Court addressed whether a variance granted by the city of Philadelphia’s Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) should be extinguished due to the alleged lack of standing of the corporate entity which sought the proposed property development.

In Liberties Lofts, RLDL Spruce LLC, a corporate entity owned and managed by a sole member, entered into a written agreement of sale with the property owners to purchase a one-story building situated at the neighborhood known as Northern Liberties in Philadelphia, the opinion said.
