Sponsor: Councilmember DiCicco
Introduced: May 8, 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 proposes to change the zoning designations of certain areas in a specific geographic area bounded by York Street, Thompson Street, and others. This would affect how land can be used within this area.
