## Opinion text

ORDER
PER CURIAM.
AND NOW, this 14th day of July, 2008, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, rephrased for clarity, is:
Did the Commonwealth Court err in denying standing to Petitioners in this Philadelphia Zoning Appeal by holding that 53 P.S. § 13131.1 eliminated taxpayer standing in Philadelphia zoning appeals and preempted Philadelphia Zoning Ordinance 14-1807, which allowed taxpayer standing?
