Official:To amend the Philadelphia Zoning Maps by changing the zoning designations of a certain area of land located within an area bounded by 20th Street, Arch Street, Cuthbert Street and 21st Street; all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Council President Clarke
Introduced: September 23, 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 proposes to change the zoning designation of a specific area in Philadelphia bounded by 20th Street, Arch Street, Cuthbert Street, and 21st Street. The existing zoning will be changed twice: first from Map 'A' to Map 'B', then back to Map 'A'. This change is proposed for a two-year period (March 31, 2024 - April 1, 2026).
