Title
Amending Section 28.084(3) of the Madison General Ordinances to reduce the usable open space in the Traditional Employment (TE) district from 160 sq. ft./ unit to 20 sq. ft./ bedroom.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: In the TE district the high usable open space requirement of 160 square feet per unit prevents adaptive re-use of existing buildings in urban areas with limited setback. In addition, it is difficult to create quality usable open space above grade in such areas, meaning that the letter of the ordinance might be met, but the intent is not. This amendment reduces the usable open space requirement in the TE District to 20 square feet per bedroom.
