Sponsor: Councilmember Miller
Introduced: November 10, 2005
: Committee on Rules
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2004–2007 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 a section of Philadelphia's Zoning and Planning code to allow some properties in the Eighth Councilmanic District to be reconstructed without meeting current parking requirements if at least 75% of structures on the block are still standing.
