1/25/21 PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL TO ADOPT - RECESSED PUBLIC HEARING
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS:
This ordinance creates a new zoning district, the Regional Mixed Use (RMX) District. This district is intended to provide opportunities for high-intensity mixed-use centers supporting a variety of multifamily housing options and commercial activities that serve the needs of the region. These areas typically include large-scale sites supportive of multistory buildings and should be the most intensively developed areas in the city outside of the downtown. Staff believes this district will fill a gap not covered by the other mixed-use and commercial districts. As part of creating the RMX district, this ordinance also amends various existing provisions of the Zoning Code to add regulations pertaining to the RMX, including, importantly, determining what uses are allowed in the district either as permitted or conditional uses. The Planning Division and Zoning Administrator will provide a thorough explanation of the planning and zoning policy related implications of this new district.
This Substitute was necessary to make changes to the ordinance suggested during the Legislative Process, as summarized in the Zoning Administrator's Report related to this Substitute.
Agenda Item 8
SUBSTITUTE - Creating Section 28.022 - 00461 of the Madison General Ordinances to rezone properties located at 3614-3700 Milwaukee Street and 102-122 West Corporate Drive, 15th Aldermanic District, from CN (Conservancy District), TR-C1 (Traditional Residential-Consistent 1 District), SE (Suburban Employment) and IL (Industrial-Limited District) to TSS (Traditional Shopping Street) District,; creating Section 28.022 - 00462 to rezone portions of those properties from CN, TR-C1, and IL to TR-U1 (Traditional Residential-Urban 1) District.

1/25/21 PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL TO ADOPT - PUBLIC HEARING

here.
Agenda Item 15
SUBSTITUTE - Repealing and Recreating Subsection entitled "Housing Cooperative" of Section 28.151 of Madison General Ordinances. Amending the definition of "Housing Cooperative" in Section 28.211, amending Table 28C-1, Table 28D-2, Table 28E-2, Table 28F-1 and Table 28G-1 of Madison General Ordinances. Sponsors: Patrick W. Heck, Grant Foster, Satya V. Rhodes-Conway, Marsha A. Rummel, Lindsay Lemmer, Rebecca Kemble, Syed Abbas and Keith Furman
Recent Legislative History
1/25/21 PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL TO ADOPT - PUBLIC HEARING
On a motion by Cantrell, seconded by Solheim, the Plan Commission found the standards met and recommended approval of the zoning text to the Common Council with the recommendation to strike "or kitchens" from the end of paragraph (c) in the supplemental regulations for "Housing Cooperative." The motion to recommend approval with the revised language passed by voice vote/ other.
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: First, this ordinance repeals and recreates the supplemental regulations for Housing Cooperatives. The primary change to the supplemental regulations is with respect to how to calculate occupancy limits. The proposed occupancy calculation in this ordinance treats occupancy limits in housing cooperatives similarly to occupancy limits in equivalent residential dwelling units. Second, this ordinance expands the number of zoning districts in which Housing Cooperates can be established as a permitted use. Third, this ordinance amends the definition of Housing Cooperative to clarify that areas like kitchen, living rooms, and dining rooms within an exclusive individual living area do not qualify as "common areas". Combined, these three changes create an easier and more equitable treatment of Housing Cooperatives, which staff believe will aid in the availability of affordable housing for Madison's residents, and provides clarification to the existing definition of Housing Cooperatives.
This substitute ordinance increases the potential occupancies of Housing Cooperatives, either by allowing higher occupancies before a conditional use is required (as in the case of Housing Cooperatives converted from lodging houses or Multi-Family Dwellings) or allowing for greater occupancies with conditional use approval (as in the case of single-family dwellings).

Landlord and Tenant Issues Committee
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This amendment permits the Rent Abatement Hearing Examiner to order abatement of rent under multiple sections of the rent impairing list, where a single room serves multiple purposes, such as a kitchen, living room or bedroom. For example, an efficiency apartment may be a single room that serves multiple purposes, where a single code violation may affect multiple living functions such as eating and sleeping.

Sponsors: Satya V. Rhodes-Conway, Keith Furman, Patrick W. Heck, Lindsay Lemmer, Tag Evers and Max Prestigiacomo
Legislative History
1/26/21 Attorney's Office Referred for Introduction
Plan Commission, Housing Strategy Committee
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance makes changes to the conditional use thresholds and allowable densities in most multi-family residential districts. Similarly, this ordinance makes changes to the conditional use thresholds and the standards for lot area, maximum height, and usable open space for most mixed-use districts.
These changes will allow for the construction of more multi-family dwelling units ("higher densities") as permitted uses ("by right"). In that way, this ordinance takes one step toward removing barriers in the zoning code that have historically tended to exclude the construction of multi-family housing in areas of the City that are otherwise appropriate for it.
For further information related to the changes contained in this ordinance, please see the Planning Division Staff Report.
Note: The body of these proposed changes can be found
here. The Planning Division Staff Report was not available as of publication, but should be available shortly. More information is also available in "Other District 2 Updates" above.
