Official:To amend the Philadelphia Zoning Maps by changing the zoning designations of certain areas of land located within an area bounded by University Avenue, Schuylkill Expressway Ramp, 34th Street, Schuylkill River, Grays Ferry Avenue, and Railroad Right-of-Way, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Blackwell
Introduced: April 5, 2018
: 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 changes the zoning designations for certain areas of land in Philadelphia, bounded by University Avenue and other streets.
