Title
2ND SUBSTITUTE Amending various sections of Chapter 28 of the Madison General Ordinances allow Mission Houses and Daytime Shelters as principal uses of land and to add a new definition for Daytime Shelter.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: A Mission House is currently defined as "An accessory use of a religious institution or a nonprofit organization which provides lodging or meals, or both, without compensation, and may also offer or provide worship services or supportive services." Currently, the zoning code does not allow a mission house to operate as the principal use of land. It must be accessory, or secondary, to the activities of a religious institution or nonprofit organization on the same property. This amendment refines the definition of a mission house and allows a mission house to operate as the principal use of land in some zoning districts, when reviewed as a conditional use, and preserves the option of accessory use.
In addition, this will define and allow Daytime Shelters, offering many of the same services as Mission Houses, but not including lodging to be approved as a principal use under conditional use standards.
