Official:Amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, relating to "Zoning and Planning", by amending Chapter 14-1400, entitled "Parking and Loading Facilities", by exempting mechanical access parking garages from certain requirements, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Kelly
Introduced: May 24, 2007
: 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 Philadelphia's zoning laws to exempt mechanical access parking garages from certain requirements, such as parking space size and location restrictions.
