Official:To amend the Philadelphia Zoning Maps by changing the zoning designations of certain areas of land located within an area bounded by Parkside Avenue, 50th Street (Extended), Merion Avenue, 52nd Street, Columbia Avenue, and 51st Street.
Sponsor: Councilmember Jones
Introduced: June 28, 2012
: Committee on Rules
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2012–2015 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 in a specific area of Philadelphia bounded by Parkside Avenue and several other streets. The exact changes would be shown on Map 'B' replacing the existing zoning map indicated as 'A'. Payment of $200 is required for the ordinance to become effective.
