Official:Amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Zoning and Planning," to revise certain provisions of Chapter 14-500, entitled "Overlay Zoning Districts," by creating an overlay district entitled "/ELZ, East Luzerne Street Overlay," all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Quiñones Sánchez
Introduced: November 15, 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 creates a new overlay district on East Luzerne Street to regulate land use and set restrictions on certain types of businesses.
