The Philadelphia City planning Commission can grant exceptions allowing for additional height.

Give-back options could earn a developer more height. This would allow the city to build the trail through a property would yield some increase. Developers who paid for the construction of that trail or built it themselves according to the trail standards would get even more height. The developers will know exactly what the bonus will be for granting height depending on how much open space his or her project has, affordable housing, apartment rentals, LEED certification, and infrastructure for transportation or art.
