Zoning Image

Update: Proposed Zoning Changes To Be Considered at June 1 Common Council Meeting

The set of proposed zoning code changes related to easing some Conditional Use Thresholds and facilitating some increased multi-unit housing densities will now be considered at the June 1 Common Council meeting rather than our May 18 meeting. Our May 18 agenda contains several items that are anticipated to take up large amounts of time, so Council President Syed Abbas asked that zoning changes be referred to June 1. You are always welcome to send email comments on this or other issues at any time to me (district2@cityofmadison.com) or if you wish to contact every Common Council member to allalders@cityofmadison.com.

Part of Tenney-Lapham Approved for "20 is Plenty" Pilot Program

This past week, the Transportation Commission approved parts of two neighborhoods, including a portion of Tenney-Lapham, for pilot implementations of "20 is Plenty", a new program to reduce the default speed limit of our residential streets from 25 mph to 20 mph. This portion of Tenney-Lapham can be seen in the map above, but is better viewed in the staff presentation that includes other neighborhoods that were under consideration and various statistics for each. In Tenney-Lapham, the pilot area will be bound by N. Blair St. and the Yahara River between E. Washington and E. Johnson. This pilot program is expected to start sometime in June and new signage will be installed.

Note that 20 is Plenty, whether a pilot or eventually extended citywide, is expected to apply only to residential streets (not arterials or non-residential streets). In Tenney-Lapham the speed limit would drop to 20 mph in that pilot area, but would still be 25 mph on the border streets of E. Johnson, E. Washington, and N. Blair. The other area chosen is the Hammersley/Theresa neighborhood in Alder Districts 10 and 20.

Research has shown that speed plays a critical role of the outcome of a crash when it occurs. Lowering the speed limit can save lives and is a key component of the City's Vision Zero Initiative. Note that as with most Vision Zero implementations, speed limits and street design are crucial elements of slowing traffic down. Traffic Enforcement also plays a role, but we cannot enforce our way out of many of the negative impacts of speeding, rude, and bad drivers - the city does not have the capacity to do so. There are also equity concerns related to traffic enforcement in its current incarnation and it also exemplifies our over-reliance on the police - we ask them to solve too many problems for which there may be better solutions. Vision Zero and 20 is Plenty are possible alternate solutions.

Shared Streets Program Slated to Return to E. Mifflin and Sherman Ave.

The Transportation Commission heard a description of the forthcoming reboot of the Shared Streets program on both E. Mifflin Street and Sherman Avenue, similar to last summer. For those and other Shared Streets locations in the city, Traffic Engineering is planning improved signage and improved barriers based on the experiences of 2020. You can watch the Transportation Commission meeting replay on the City Channel here that includes the staff presentations on both Shared Streets and the 20 is Plenty programs as well as public comment and commissioners' discussion.

Traffic Engineering is also beginning a new Slow Streets program that was discussed at Transportation Commission. That program will explore more permanent changes to some streets to promote not just biking and pedestrian safety, but it will also dovetail with the Vision Zero program and its goals of slowing down vehicular traffic and implement infrastructure changes to promote slowing down. Some Shared Streets implementations could eventually morph into more permanent Slow Streets installations, but those will involve community engagement components before any decisions are made.

Gates Of Heaven

Historic Preservation Month Continues With Focus on: Gates of Heaven

During the month of May, the City Engineering Division will focus on one of the oldest surviving synagogues buildings in the nation, located in District 2! Engineering would like the community to join in celebrating Historic Preservation Month as we focus on the recent restoration work at Gates of Heaven.

Gates of Heaven was built in 1863 and is one of the oldest surviving synagogues in the nation and is located in James Madison Park. Gates of Heaven is a locally designated landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Throughout May, City Engineering will focus on different parts of the Gates of Heaven restoration work with social media posts and a video highlight. The community can expect unique information they've never seen before about the following topics on the City Engineering Facebook and Twitter pages:

May 3: Celebrate Historic Preservation Month with Engineering
May 7: History of Gates of Heaven and its relocation
May 14: Exterior restoration: brick
May 21: Exterior restoration: stone
May 28: Exterior restoration: windows and doors
May 31: Thank you for celebrating with us!

Gates of Heaven is currently undergoing restoration work which includes restoring the masonry, windows and doors. The work also includes cleaning and consolidation of the Madison sandstone, limited repairs to stone, cleaning of brick, repointing of stone and brick, rehabilitation of the wood sash, doors, and related trim, and installation of exterior storms on all windows.

UDC Gives Initial Approval to 12 N. Few Street Proposal

On May 12 the Urban Design Commission gave initial approval to the proposed redevelopment at 12 N. Few Street. Commissioners had some concerns, particularly with regard to access and circulation for both commercial and residential units, so they did not grant final approval in judging the proposal's conformity with Urban Design District #8 standards and guidelines. The proposed redevelopment consists of 8 commercial spaces with 8 one-bedroom apartments with 4 residential parking spaces. The application, staff reports, and public comments are posted here.

It is anticipated that the developer's architect will work with city staff in an attempt to address issues brought up by Commissioners and will return to UDC in the future with revisions and ask for final approval. I'll keep you posted when that meeting date is set. Plan Commission will consider the proposed demolition of a portion of the Scooter Therapy building, likely our May 24 meeting, and Common Council will consider the accompanying proposed amendment to UDD #8 that would allow a portion of the proposed building to be closer to Curtis Court than currently allowed.

1046 E. Washington Restaurant Conditional Uses Approved

On May 10, Plan Commission approved the Conditional Use Permits requested for a new restaurant with outdoor seating at 1046 E. Washington on the ground floor of Arden. The owners of Red Sushi on W. Washington are planning a new fast-casual restaurant with indoor seating and outdoor patio seating adjacent to the alley between Lyric and Arden. Project plans can be found here.

The Alcohol License Review Committee will consider the restaurant's application for a liquor license at a future date. If all approvals are obtained, the owners anticipate an early fall opening. Note that free parking will be available for restaurant customers in the Arden parking garage and several E. Washington Ave. parking stalls will be changed to short-term parking stalls that will be available for restaurant pickup/delivery purposes.

REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS

Agenda Item 4

402 N Thornton Ave - Exterior Alteration to a Designated Madison Landmark (Tenney Park) - Replacement of basketball court; 2nd Ald. Dist.

From the Staff Report:

The applicant is requesting a Certificate of Appropriateness for the removal of an existing basketball court and half basketball court, then installation of a new basketball court with a new connecting path. The new basketball court is reoriented on the site of the former courts, but framed within the space by the existing paths. The new path will run from the existing pedestrian walkways to the new court.

Tenney Park is designated as a landmark for its landscape architecture. The park has featured structured recreational spaces in addition to the natural spaces. The new court will be approximately in the same location and in a previously disturbed area. The reconfigured court will not significantly change the historic character of the park while modifying an existing amenity to meet ongoing usage of the site.

Recommendation

Staff believes the standards for granting a Certificate of Appropriateness are met and recommends that the Landmarks Commission approve the project as proposed.
