Title
Repealing Section 28.022 - 00117 of the Madison General Ordinances adopting the Campus Master Plan for Edgewood College, Edgewood High School and Edgewood Campus School.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: Upon the effective date of the new zoning map in 2013, Edgewood College, Edgewood High School, and Edgewood Campus School (collectively referred to as “Edgewood”), were rezoned from the R2 Single-family Residence District to Campus-Institutional District Zoning (CI District) pursuant to Sec. 28.097, MGO. For institutions created prior to the effective date of this new zoning ordinance, including Edgewood, preparing a Campus Master Plan was an optional way to be regulated in the CI District. So, there are some CI District-zoned institutions that have Campus Master Plans and some that do not. Currently, Edgewood and the University of Wisconsin-Madison are the only two institutions zoned CI that have chosen to have a Campus Master Plan.
Edgewood’s Campus Master Plan was adopted by zoning map amendment in 2014, ORD-14-00082 (Legistar File No. 33434). Under Sec. 28.097(2)(b), Edgewood’s Campus Master Plan is effective for ten years. The conditions of approval were satisfied and final copies of the Master Plan provided on November 6, 2015. Thus, Edgewood’s Master Plan will expire in 2025. However, Edgewood now wishes to terminate its Campus Master Plan. Thus, this ordinance repeals the ordinance that adopted Edgewood’s Campus Master Plan. As a consequence of repealing its Master Plan, Edgewood would revert to the standard regulations of the CI District in the zoning code. This means, among other things, that Edgewood will lose the remaining development entitlements contained in the Campus Master Plan. Going forward, individual development proposals and changes that exceed 4,000 square feet in floor area within any five-year period shall require conditional use approval.
