Official:Amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Zoning and Planning," by creating a new commercial mixed use district, providing for permitted uses and dimensional standards in that district, making conforming amendments and making certain technical changes, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember O'Neill
Introduced: November 15, 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 create a new commercial mixed-use district in Philadelphia, allowing for a range of permitted uses and dimensional standards.
