Official:Amending Section 14-1402 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Parking in Residential Districts," by reducing parking requirements when spaces for car sharing organizations are voluntarily provided, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember DiCicco
Introduced: September 20, 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 reduces parking requirements for homeowners who provide car sharing spaces in their neighborhood. Homeowners can reduce parking needs by 25% if they offer at least two car sharing spaces per every hundred residents.
