Official:Amending Chapter 14-500 of The Philadelphia Code entitled "Overlay Zoning Districts" by adding a new subsection; all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Council President Clarke
Introduced: May 5, 2016
: Committee on Rules
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2016–2019 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 code to allow for office use by medical and dental practitioners in specific areas of North Central Philadelphia.
