Official:Amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled “Zoning and Planning,” by amending Section 14-502, entitled “/CTR, Center City Overlay District” by establishing and adding a new subarea within the Broad Street Area, entitled “South Broad Street Gateway” and making related changes, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Johnson
Introduced: March 18, 2021
: 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 adds a new area within Philadelphia's Center City known as the South Broad Street Gateway to the city's zoning code, allowing for specific uses and regulations in that area.
