Official:Amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Zoning and Planning," by amending Chapter 14-300, entitled "Commercial Districts," by adopting a new Section 14-310, entitled "Transit-Oriented Development District," under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Savage
Introduced: October 25, 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 creates a new zoning category called Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Districts, which encourages mixed-use development near public transit stations and promotes walkability and bikeability.
