Proposed New Building (4 stories in front, 6 in rear)

400 Block of State Street Existing Bldgs

Existing buildings

UDC To Consider 400 Block of State Street Proposal on June 29

JD McCormick Properties' proposal to redevelop 428 to 444 State Street is expected to be before the Urban Design Commission on June 29. The developer proposes to demolish the existing three mixed-use buildings and construct a new six-story, mixed-use building with 23-26 primarily studio apartments and a first- and second-floor commercial space with no car parking provided. They are seeking Demolition Permits for the three existing buildings and will need formal approvals from the UDC and Plan Commission. You can find the project plans, land use application, and other UDC materials here.

The UDC's purview is limited mostly to the exterior design of the proposed building and its conformity to the Downtown Urban Design Guidelines. On July 11, Plan Commission will consider the Demolition Permit Application and requested Conditional Uses.

Back on Jan. 31, 2022, the Landmarks Commission considered the requested demolitions of the three buildings. The city staff report on these buildings is here. As with all proposed demolitions in the city, Landmarks provide advisory findings to Plan Commission who makes the decisions on demolitions. For the building at 440-444 State Street Landmarks found that (paraphrased) it has historic value related to the vernacular context of Madison's built environment, but the building itself is not historically, architecturally or culturally significant. For 432-436 and 428-430 State Street (2 buildings) the Commission found that (paraphrased) the buildings have historic value based on architectural significance, cultural significance, historic significance, and/or its status as a contributing structure in a National Register Historic District.

The steering committee of the Mansion Hill District of Capitol Neighborhoods, Inc. (CNI), that has evaluated the redevelopment proposal has not yet issued its report, but I anticipate it will be completed soon. I'll be sure to mention that in a future weekend update as the UDC meeting draws closer.

If you'd like to give input on the proposal, please email me at district2@cityofmadison.com.

Red Rock Rooftop Terrace Proposal

Also at UDC on June 29 - Proposed 2nd Floor Terrace at Red Rock Saloon

At that same Urban Design Commission meeting, the proposal to add a 2nd floor rooftop terrace atop the Red Rock Saloon at 222 W. Gorham Street will be considered. The proposed terrace would be accessed from current second floor interior spaces via two new garage doors and two standard doors. The deck would be approximately 1,450 square feet and its occupancy is estimated at 82 patrons or perhaps more. The applicant plans to have the terrace open during their current operating hours and have no exterior amplified music.

Red Rock Saloon is also required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit for this outdoor area from the Plan Commission. That is also expected at the July 11 Plan Commission meeting. Note that on April 12, I held a virtual neighborhood meeting on the proposed terrace and sent postcard notifications to nearby residents, businesses, and property owners, but there were no attendees. That said, I have heard some concerns from a nearby neighbor about late-night noise and from MPD concerning the potential for troublesome interactions between terrace users and those in the city's Buckeye Parking Lot. Those concerns are likely to be discussed by Plan Commission rather than UDC since UDC's purview is mostly related to the design of the proposed rooftop terrace.

If you'd like to give input on the proposal, please email me at district2@cityofmadison.com.

From The Beacon: We are in critical need of volunteers! Our dedicated volunteers run the showers and laundry stations, serve lunch, shuttle the women and folks from the Salvation Army Shelter back and forth, and help out at the front desk. Our volunteers make such a difference in the day to day lives of our guests! If anyone is interested in volunteering, they can apply here.
