Title

Amending Sections of Chapter 28 of the Madison General Ordinances related to Housing and Auto-Oriented Uses in the Transit Oriented Development Overlay District.

Body

DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS:    This proposed ordinance makes several changes in the Zoning Code, MGO Chapter 28, focused on allowing more housing and further restrict auto-centric uses in the Transit Oriented Development (“TOD”) Overlay District. This proposal allows four (4) dwelling units to be permitted throughout the TOD Overlay District. It prohibits car washes, automobile sales and rentals, and standalone surface parking lot facilities as principal land uses within the TOD Overlay District. Surface parking lots are still allowed in the TOD Overlay District as an accessory use. The proposed changes also amend the drive-through window requirements to curtail their auto-oriented design in the TOD Overlay District. This proposal would only allow drive-throughs in the TOD Overlay District if incorporated into more intensive development.
