Official:Amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Zoning and Planning," by amending Section 14-1605, entitled "Regulated Uses," by expanding the list of regulated uses to include off track betting facilities, as defined, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Mariano
Introduced: May 31, 2001
: 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 amends the city's zoning code to allow off-track betting facilities in Philadelphia, under certain terms and conditions.
