Official:Amending Chapter 9-601 of The Philadelphia Code entitled "Garages, Parking Lots, Sales Lots and Sales Showrooms" by adding a definition for automated parking garages and restricting the operation and maintenance of said automated parking garage to within three hundred (300) feet of any residentially zone property, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Clarke
Introduced: March 16, 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 restricts automated parking garages in Philadelphia by requiring them to be at least 300 feet away from residentially zoned properties and imposing licensing requirements.
