Title
Amending the Pioneer Neighborhood Development Plan to revise the land use recommendation for an approximately ten-acre parcel located north of Silicon Prairie Parkway from Employment uses to Medium Density Residential uses.
Body
WHEREAS the Pioneer Neighborhood Development Plan was adopted by the Madison Common Council on April 20, 2004 as an element of the City of Madison Master Plan, substantially replacing the June 1999 Westside Neighborhood Development Plan; and
WHEREAS the Neighborhood Development Plan currently recommends that a variety of predominantly employment land uses be developed on lands south of Mineral Point Road and north of Silicon Prairie Parkway extended between South Point Road and Pleasant View Road; and
WHEREAS the property owner and a prospective developer have proposed that an approximately ten-acre parcel located north of Silicon Prairie Parkway be developed instead with a multi-family apartment complex to serve the rental market in this part of the community, and this developer has submitted applications for approval of a Certified Survey Map to create the parcel and to rezone the parcel to allow the proposed residential development; and
WHEREAS these lands are currently recommended for employment uses in the Pioneer Neighborhood Development Plan and are recommended for these same uses in the City of Madison Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS an amendment to the Pioneer Neighborhood Development Plan would be required for the proposed residential development to be consistent with the land use recommendations in that plan; and
WHEREAS an amendment to the Pioneer Neighborhood Development Plan Land Use and Street Plan map (which replaced the Planned Land Use map in the 2004 adopted plan) has been prepared to recommend that the subject lands be developed with Medium Density Residential uses generally consistent with the residential project proposed by the prospective developer, including recommended revisions to future street alignments associated with the proposed change in land use; and
WHEREAS a public meeting on the proposed Neighborhood Development Plan amendment was held at Blackhawk Church on July 9, 2013 to present information, answer questions and hear comments on the proposed amendment; and the results of this meeting have been provided to the Plan Commission and Common Council; and
WHEREAS City agencies have reviewed the proposed amendment to the Pioneer Neighborhood Development Plan, as well the proposed Certified Survey Map and proposed rezoning application submitted by the prospective developer, and have provided comments and recommendations for consideration by the Plan Commission and Common Council.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Pioneer Neighborhood Development Plan, a supplement to the City of Madison Comprehensive Plan, is hereby amended to revise the land use recommendation for approximately ten acres located generally north of Silicon Prairie Parkway and east of South Point Road from Employment use to Medium Density Residential use as shown on the amended Land Use and Street Plan map.
