Title
Amending Section 28.022 - 00117 of the Madison General Ordinances to amend the Campus-Institutional (CI) District Master Plan for Edgewood College, Edgewood High School and Edgewood Campus School, generally addressed as 2219 Monroe Street and 829-1000 Edgewood College Drive, 13th Aldermanic District, to allow expanded use of the Edgewood High School athletic field and to allow future construction of a stadium for the athletic field.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: In 2014, Edgewood College, Edgewood High School and Edgewood Campus School received Common Council approval of a Campus-Institutional (CI) zoning district campus master plan to guide the future growth of the "Edgewood Campus". The approved master plan identified the athletic field in the northwestern corner of the campus adjacent to the corner of Monroe and Woodrow Streets as an existing field to be used for Edgewood High School “team practices and physical education classes” and did not specifically reference use of the field for athletic events (games) and non-Edgewood High School-related uses. The amended master plan requests to clarify that athletic events are an allowed use of the field.
The applicant is also seeking approval to construct an enlarged and more substantial stadium for the athletic field, which would include 1,000 seats, concessions, storage rooms, restrooms, and team rooms. The proposed stadium would include lighting for night games and a public address system. The proposed facility would replace a 450-seat bleacher on the east side of the field.
