Expand Your Recycling Knowledge!

Become a master recycler with Sustain Dane's award-winning program in partnership with the City of Madison. Learn the ins and outs of our local recycling system and get your recycling questions answered. The program will give you the tools you need to teach your family, neighbors, friends, and coworkers how to improve recycling and community sustainability.

Topics include: what makes recycling work and why we do it, local recycling basics, barriers to recycling, other waste streams, low waste living, & how to champion recycling in your community.

We'll meet online in two sessions:

Thursday, April 6, 12PM--1:30PM
Thursday, April 13, 12PM--1:30PM

Learn more and register here.

Certified Master Recyclers will attend both sessions and complete an outreach project, bringing the recycling knowledge they gain to their communities. Outreach can look like teaching what you learn to another group of friends, colleagues, or community members or completing a project like setting up a recycling info station at your workplace. Certified Master recyclers will be recognized at Sustain Dane's annual Summit.

If you can't attend this one, join us for our evening virtual sessions in July. RSVP here for July.

Join the 737 participants that have reached 66,991 people with recycling knowledge since 2021.

PUBLIC HEARINGS

 

REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS

 

Agenda Item 12

Approving Plans, Specifications, And Schedule Of Assessments For 500 block E. Washington Avenue Assessment District - 2023. (2nd AD)

Recent Legislative History

2/22/23 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS     RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL TO ADOPT - PUBLIC HEARING

Note: This item is related to replacement of the sanitary sewer main and laterals on E. Washington Avenue between Franklin and Blair Streets in 2023.

 

REPORT OF PLAN COMMISSION

 

Agenda Item 22

Amending Sections 28.078 and 28.079 of the Madison General Ordinances to eliminate the Residential Point System for Downtown Residential 1 (DR1) and Downtown Residential 2 (DR2) districts.

Sponsors: Patrick W. Heck

Recent Legislative History

2/27/23 PLAN COMMISSION    RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL TO ADOPT - PUBLIC HEARING

From Staff's Zoning Text Memo:
This amendment removes the residential point system in the Downtown Residential 1 (DR1) and Downtown Residential 2 (DR2) zoning districts. The residential point system was designed to implement recommendations from the Downtown Plan to encourage the development of housing units with more bedrooms. The system has not been effective in creating larger housing units for families with children, but instead has been an obstacle to creating more housing in the DR1 and DR2 districts. Staff supports this amendment.

 

Agenda Item 23 

Amending Sections 28.071 and 28.134 of the Madison General Ordinances to clarify the maximum stories and feet in the Downtown Height Map.

Sponsors: Patrick W. Heck, Juliana R. Bennett, Jael Currie, Erik Paulson, Satya V. Rhodes-Conway And Michael E. Verveer

Recent Legislative History
2/27/23 PLAN COMMISSION    RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL TO ADOPT - PUBLIC HEARING

DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS:    This proposed ordinance amends sections of MGO Sec. 28.071 "General Provisions for Downtown and Urban Districts" and MGO Sec. 28.134 "Height and Bulk Requirements." First, the change removes the maximum floor-to-floor story height and instead adds height limits in feet. Projects must be at or below the maximum height and maximum number of stories. Second, it adds an affordable housing incentive when a project has a voluntary contractual Land Use Restriction Agreement ("LURA") with the City of Madison. Those projects may exceed the maximum number of stories as long as the project does not exceed the maximum height in feet. Third, the change removes ground floor elevation restrictions in the zoning code. The Urban Design Commission will be able to use the Downtown Design Guidelines instead for downtown sites with elevation slopes. Finally, it clarifies, but does not change, how height in the downtown is measured and adds a graphic illustration.

Note: Staff's Zoning Text Memo on this item is here.

The proposed resolution would amend the Community Development Division's (CDD) 2023 adopted operating budget by accepting a $5,076,197 federal grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD).

These HOME-ARP funds can be used to support local efforts to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability, including the acquisition and/or development of new housing.

HUD requires each HUD Entitlement community grantee to submit an annual Action Plan as a condition of receiving funds. The Common Council approved the City's 2021 Action Plan in February of 2021. In order to receive the supplemental funds, the City must submit a Substantial Amendment to the 2021 Action Plan. The resolution would approve the proposed Substantial Amendment, accept the $5,076,197 federal grant, and amend the 2023 CDD Adopted Budget to reflect the grant revenues and commensurate expenditures.
