Sponsor: Councilmember DiCicco
Introduced: January 24, 2008
: Committee on Rules
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2008–2011 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 Maps to change zoning designations in a specific area near the Delaware River. The changes are contingent on certain conditions being met, including the establishment of a not-for-profit organization and improvements to traffic conditions.
