Official:Repealing Bill No. 210865, entitled “An Ordinance amending Section 14-514 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled “/FNE, Far Northeast Overlay District,” to prohibit eligibility for floor area, height, and dwelling unit bonuses and to increase minimum parking requirements, all under certain terms and conditions,” and amending Section 14-514 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled “/FNE, Far Northeast Overlay District,” to amend the height regulations applicable to the District, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember O'Neill
Introduced: January 27, 2022
: 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 repeals a previous ordinance that restricted development in the Far Northeast Overlay District by limiting bonuses for floor area, height, and dwelling units, as well as increasing minimum parking requirements.
