Title

Amending map in Section 28.071(2)(a) related to downtown height limits of the Madison General Ordinances to update the Downtown Height Map in the Brayton Lot area. (District 6)

Body

DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS:    This amendment amends the downtown height map in MGO 28.071(2)(a) to increase the allowed height limit for the Brayton Lot from four (4) stories and sixty (60) feet to ten (10) stories and one hundred and forty four (144) feet. The Brayton Lot is located on East Main Street between South Butler Street and South Hancock Street. Currently, part of the Brayton lot is allowed to be 10 (ten) stories and another portion is allowed to be four (4) stories. The amendment is to change the portion that is currently an allowable four (4) stories and sixty (60) feet to be ten (10) stories and one hundred and forty four (144) feet. With that change, the entirety of the lot would be the same allowable height limit.
