Title
AMENDED ORDINANCE Amending Section 28.098 of the Madison General Ordinances to clarify and improve various provisions of the Planned Development District Ordinance.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: Since the adoption of the new zoning code in 2012, the City has used the Planned Development District on various projects where existing zoning could not address all of the needs of the development. While the Planned Development District ordinance is generally working well, City Staff and the Plan Commission have identified several provisions of the ordinance that could be clarified or improved. This ordinance therefore amends the Planned Development District ordinance to clarify and improve it.
Specifically, this ordinance: a) clarifies that there are no predetermined requirements for lot area, lot width, height, floor area ratio, yards, usable open space, signage, or off-street parking and loading, but that such requirements may be made as part of the planned development and may be recorded against the property; b) expands upon the Planned Development standards relative to the provision of municipal services, aesthetic compatibility, and open space; c) specifies that in addition to the Planned Development Standards, other regulations also apply, such as those found in Subchapters 28I and 28J of the Zoning Code; d) adds additional requirements for the General Development Plan (GDP) and clarifies how decisions on General Development Plans (GDP) are made; e) adds additional requirement for the Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) and clarifies how decisions on SIPs are made; and f) clarifies certain aspects of recording Planned Development Districts and process for altering a Planned Development District.
