Title
Amending Sections 28.211 and 28.137 of the Madison General Ordinances to amend the definition of Planned Multi-Use Site.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: The proposed amendment to the definition simplifies what constitutes a planned multi-use site. The language in the definition to be struck is included in the general regulations for those sites in Section 28.137. The amendment also clarifies the role of the Urban Design Commission in the review of planned multi-use sites, including when the regulations for large-format retail establishments in Section 33.24, MGO, apply as part of the UDC review.
