Official:Amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled “Zoning and Planning,” to provide for a height allowance for certain solar collectors; all under terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Green
Introduced: May 19, 2022
Voted: September 14, 2023
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 allows certain solar collectors to be installed in Philadelphia, with specific height and structural requirements, making it easier for residents and businesses to install solar panels.
