Official:Amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Zoning and Planning," by revising the Development Standards and Definitions for Green Roofs, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Squilla
Introduced: November 12, 2015
: 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 the city's zoning code to revise the development standards and definitions for green roofs in specific areas of Philadelphia.
