The purpose of the /DRC, Delaware River Conservation Overlay district is to further enhance the quality of life in Philadelphia by promoting and protecting a system of parks and trails along the North Delaware River called the "Delaware River Greenway".
(a) Boundaries.
(.1) The boundaries of the district are the south side of Allegheny Avenue on the south; the Philadelphia/Bucks County line on the north; the western Bulkhead Line of the Delaware River as amended by the Secretary of War on September 10, 1940 on the east; and a line 50 ft. west of the eastern boundary on the west.
(.2) If, due to erosion, accretion, or human activity, the top of the west bank of the Delaware River has substantially moved away from the western Bulkhead Line, then the most westerly line along the top of the west bank is the eastern boundary of this district. Any discrepancies between the physical top of the bank and Bulkhead Line along the west bank of the Delaware River will be surveyed by the District Surveyor, and the Board of Surveyors of the Streets Department will keep the survey on file and available for public inspection.
