Official:Amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Zoning and Planning," by amending Chapter 14-1500 entitled "Area Surrounding Airports" by adding a new Section 14-1503 entitled "Procedures for the Development or Use of City-Owned Airport Property" requiring City Council approval under certain circumstances for the construction of new City-owned or operated facilities or for the use of City-owned property, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember O'Neill
Introduced: March 9, 2000
: Committee on Rules
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2000–2003 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill requires City Council approval for any new construction or use of city-owned airport property that would require zoning variances.
