Sponsor: Councilmember Jones
Introduced: November 17, 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 amends the Philadelphia Zoning Maps to change zoning designations for a specific area near Fairmount Park and allows Basic Utilities and Services in that section of the park.
