Official:Amending Section 14-1402 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Parking in Residential Districts," by imposing restrictions on off-street parking in front of residential buildings, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Clarke
Introduced: October 16, 2008
: Committee on Streets and Services
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 restrict off-street parking in front of residential buildings in Philadelphia, requiring such parking to be located behind the required set-back line.
