Second Wendy's Hearing Scheduled for Wednesday

The second zoning hearing for the proposed Wendy's will take place on Wednesday.

The Philadelphia Zoning Board of Appeal hearing for the proposed Wendy's at 5901 Ridge Ave. is scheduled for Jan. 8, at 12 p.m.

The first meeting took place on Nov. 13.  At that meeting the zoning board heard testimony from the development team that wants to build a Wendy's at the corner of Ridge and Roxborough Avenues.  

During this second meeting, the development team will finish its testimony, and the opposition will make its case.

The zoning meeting is necessary in order for the Wendy's to have a drive-thru. The property located at the corner of Roxborough and Ridge Avenues is already zoned for a restaurant, but developers need a special exception from the city to have take-out and a drive-thru.

Residents for or against the project are encouraged to attend the meeting on Jan. 8 at 12p.m. at 1515 Arch Street, 18th Floor.
