Official:Amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Zoning and Planning," by amending Chapter 14-200 entitled "Residential Districts," by amending use regulations in certain Residential Districts, and by making certain technical amendments, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember O'Neill
Introduced: October 31, 2002
: 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 makes technical amendments to Philadelphia's zoning laws, allowing certain uses in residential areas, such as churches and office spaces for medical professionals.
