Official:Amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Zoning and Planning," by revising certain use regulations relating to the residential uses allowed in industrial districts and making technical changes, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Kenney
Introduced: May 15, 2014
: 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 amends Philadelphia's Zoning and Planning code to allow for residential uses in industrial districts, including single-family homes, apartments, and group living facilities.
