Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance amends Subsection 29.20 of the Madison General Ordinances regarding building restrictions in sites adjacent to landfills. This ordinance updates the specific landfill zones of concern covered by the ordinance to better reflect the City's 20 years of monitoring results. In addition, maps of the zones of concern have been added to better inform the public about the location of these areas. This ordinance also replaces the approved construction practices and safety precautions that must be followed within landfill zones of concern with current best practices. Of note, new homes inside the boundaries will be required to include passive ventilation systems that can be activated in the future if there is a problem, and commercial buildings will be required to have activated systems.
