Title
3rd SUBSTITUTE. Amending Sections 28.097(2) and (3) of the Madison General Ordinances to require conditional use approval in the Campus-Institutional District for uses involving new buildings or additions to existing buildings the establishment, improvement, or modification exceeding 4,000 square feet in ground floor area and for the establishment, improvement, or modification of any use occurring outside an enclosed building. area on a zoning lot of any primary use and to require conditional use approval for the establishment, improvement, or modification of identified secondary uses.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: As currently written, on any parcel zoned in the Campus-Institutional (CI) District without a campus master plan, primary and secondary uses are allowed subject to conditional use requirements only upon the construction of a building that creates greater than 4,000 square feet of floor area, which the Zoning Code defines as “area under the roof of a building.” Primary and secondary uses that do not require the construction of a building (e.g., occur outside an enclosed building) are, thus, permitted without conditional use review. Uses in the CI District that may not require the construction of a building (including outdoor sports and recreational facilities, surface parking, utilities and transportation facilities, other uses related to the institution’s primary mission, open stadiums, auditoriums and arenas, and agricultural uses) often require conditional use review in other city zoning districts, including residential and mixed-use and commercial districts. The purpose of this ordinance is therefore to treat uses that occur outside of an enclosed building in a CI District like the same or similar uses in other zoning districts. This ordinance retains the requirement that the construction of new buildings or additions to existing buildings exceeding 4,000 square feet in floor area require conditional use approval. It then states that conditional use is always required for the establishment, improvement, or modification of any use occurring outside of an enclosed building. Finally, this ordinance clarifies that secondary uses in a CI District must be predominantly used in a manner that is directly related and complementary to the institution’s primary uses.
This third substitute was necessary to more clearly delineate the difference between indoor and outdoor uses. Moreover, this third substitute provides language confirming that the Zoning Administrator may issue permits to repair or replace any existing facility related to a primary or secondary use provided that the proposed facility is of a similar build condition and at a similar location on the zoning lot as the existing facility. Finally, this substitute moves Agricultural and Veterinary Clinic back to secondary uses in response to Plan Commission concerns about re-classifying them as primary uses in a CI-District.
