Title
Amending Section 28.151 of the Madison General Ordinances related to Supplemental Regulations to amend regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units.
Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: This proposed ordinance amends the Supplemental Regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) to fix language that only acknowledges single-family dwellings as the principal building containing an attached ADU. Subsection (j) is amended to be more broad because ADUs are allowed in other types of principal uses as of April 2024, Legistar 81952. Subsection (c) is amended for the same reason.
