Title
Amending the Northport-Warner Park-Sherman Neighborhood Plan to recommend medium-density residential uses on the west-central portion of the approximately 19.46-acre Keller property located generally north of Tennyson Lane and east of a future extension Eliot Lane.
Body
WHEREAS the Northport-Warner Park-Sherman Neighborhood Plan was adopted by the Madison Common Council on November 3, 2009 as a supplement to the City of Madison Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS the Neighborhood Plan currently recommends that the Keller property, located generally west of Packers Avenue and north of Tennyson Lane, be developed primarily with low-density and low-medium density residential uses generally similar to the uses recommended for the vacant Raemisch property adjacent to the north, and integrated with and connected to future uses on that property and the existing residential neighborhood south of Tennyson Lane; and
WHEREAS the City of Madison Comprehensive Plan, adopted in January 2006, recommends the Raemisch and Keller properties for Low-Density Residential uses, similar to the recommendation for the surrounding neighborhood to the south, west and north; and
Whereas the Keller property is currently zoned Suburban Residential-Consistent 1, reflecting the land use recommendations in current adopted plans; and
WHEREAS The T.W. Sather Company and the property owner have proposed that an approximately eight-acre parcel in the central-western portion of the Keller property be developed with a medium-density residential building complex with 72 units and the future development of 15 single-family lots fronting on Tennyson Lane and the eastside of the approved future extension of Eliot Lane. (The ultimate development concept also includes an additional eight single-family lots on the west side of the extension of Eliot Lane); and
WHEREAS, the T.W. Sather Company and the applicant have submitted an application to rezone the eight-acre parcel to SR-V2 (Suburban Residential-Varied 2) to allow the proposed uses; and
WHEREAS the proposed development was presented at two neighborhood meetings; and
WHEREAS an amendment to the Northport-Warner Park-Sherman Neighborhood Plan would be required for the proposed residential development to be consistent with the land use recommendations for that location in the plan; and
WHEREAS an amendment to the Northport-Warner Park-Sherman Neighborhood Plan has been prepared to recommend that the subject lands be developed with Medium Density Residential uses generally consistent with the project proposed by the T.W. Sather Company; and
WHEREAS City agencies have reviewed the proposed amendment to the Neighborhood Plan, as well the proposed rezoning application, and have provided comments and recommendations for consideration by the Plan Commission and Common Council.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Northport-Warner Park-Sherman Neighborhood Plan, a supplement to the City of Madison Comprehensive Plan, is hereby amended to recommend Medium Density Residential land uses for the western-central portion of the Keller property located generally along Tennyson Lane, east of the approved extension of Eliot Lane.
