Title

Creating Section 28.183(6)(a)17. of the Madison General Ordinances to create a conditional use standard for projections into the capitol view height area.

Body

DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS:  Sec. 28.134(3) of the Madison General Ordinances, entitled “Capitol View Preservation,” allows the Plan Commission to allow certain projections into the capitol view height area as a conditional use.  Until now, the zoning code has not had a separate conditional use standard for this conditional use.  This ordinance therefore creates a new conditional use standard for allowing projections into the capitol view height area.
