Official:Amending Section 14-1629 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "North Central Philadelphia Community Special District Controls," by specifically amending Section 14-1629(3), entitled "District Boundaries," to prohibit student housing in certain neighborhoods near Temple University; all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Clarke
Introduced: September 22, 2011
: 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 amend the North Central Philadelphia Community Special District Controls to prohibit non-owner-occupied student housing in certain neighborhoods near Temple University.
