Official:Amending Chapter 14-500 of the Philadelphia Zoning Code, entitled “Overlay Zoning Districts,” by creating a new subsection, entitled “Multi-Modal Logistics Center Overlay District,” all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Johnson
Introduced: October 29, 2020
: Committee on Rules
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2020–2023 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 proposes to create a new zoning district in Philadelphia called 'Multi-Modal Logistics Center Overlay District' that would allow for certain types of logistics centers near transportation hubs.
