Title
Amending Section 28.097(7) of the Madison General Ordinances to provide a mechanism for additional review of structured or surfaced parking facilities in a Campus Institutional District.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance provides a mechanism for additional review of structured and surface parking facilities in a Campus Institutional District. Under this ordinance, structured and surface parking facilities which are identified on an approved campus master plan must be approved by the Common Council after review by the Pedestrian/Bicycle/Motor Vehicle Commission and Board of Public Works. This additional review will allow the City to evaluate the proposed facilities impact on traffic patterns, streets, and other aspects of the City right-of-way, and to request permanent right-of-way dedications or right-of-way improvements if deemed necessary by the City Traffic Engineer or a Traffic Impact Analysis.

The Common Council of the City of Madison do hereby ordain as follows:
Section (7) entitled “Final Building Design Review” of Section 28.097 entitled “Campus-Institutional District” of the Madison General Ordinances is amended to read as follows:
“(7) Final Building, Structured Parking, and Surface Parking Design Review.
(a) It is expected that All Campus Master Plans will shall identify building location and maximum height, but will not include detailed designs of each building. All buildings constructed within a CI district properly identified on a Campus Master Plan must be reviewed and approved by an architectural review committee prior to construction. The committee shall be established by the institution and shall meet the following standards:
(a)1. The building design review standards and guidelines, review procedures, categories of membership, and the language of any deed or plat restriction must be approved by the Urban Design Commission.
(b)2. Membership on the committee, including representation of planning staff and registered neighborhoods, and committee procedures must be approved by the Plan Commission. Committee meetings shall be public.
(c)3. Until an architectural review committee is established and approved by the Plan Commission, all building and site plans shall be reviewed and approved by the Urban Design Commission, with an appeal process to the Plan Commission as established in Section 33.24.
(b) In addition to undergoing the design review process in sub. (7)(a) above, and in order to minimize impact on City right-of-ways, all structured or surfaced parking facilities properly identified in a Campus Master Plan must be reviewed by the Pedestrian/Bicycle/Motor Vehicle Commission and Board of Public Works and approved by the Common Council prior to construction. In approving a structured or surface parking facility under this section, the Common Council may require a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by the applicant, a permanent right-of-way dedication to the city, and/or city right-of-way improvements, if deemed necessary by a Traffic Impact Analysis or an analysis prepared by the City Traffic Engineer. Any such analysis shall consider the cumulative effect of other structured and surface parking facilities in the area when determining whether a permanent right-of-way dedication or right-of-way improvement is necessary.”
(c) If there is no approved Master Plan, building design review will occur as part of the conditional use approval.”
