The Philadelphia City Council enacted Bill No. 250524, amending Section 14-802 of The Philadelphia Code, known as "Motor Vehicle Parking Ratios." This ordinance specifically removes the minimum residential parking ratio requirements for properties located within the CMX-4 and CMX-5 Zoning Districts. This change affects new residential developments within these high-density, mixed-use commercial zones by eliminating the mandate for a certain number of parking spaces per residential unit. The bill was introduced on May 15, 2025, and received its final action and passage by the City Council on June 12, 2025.
