Title
Amending the Stoughton Road Revitalization Project Plan to add a note to the "Proposed Land Use Classifications" Map to allow consideration of a specific land use proposal.
Body
WHEREAS the Stoughton Road Revitalization Project Plan was adopted as a supplement to the City of Madison Comprehensive Plan by the Common Council on June 3, 2008 by Amended Substitute Resolution 08-00616 (ID 09550) to include recommendations for a variety of topics including land use, urban design, landscape, and placemaking; and
WHEREAS the Stoughton Road Revitalization Project Plan encourages growth along the Stoughton Road corridor recognizing such growth will deliver housing, employment, retail, and commercial services for residents and visitors to the East Side; and
WHEREAS the Stoughton Road Revitalization Project Plan references the land use recommendations of the 2005 Comprehensive Plan and does not include specific changes for the areas east of the Stoughton Road Frontage Road, between Milwaukee Street and Robertson Road; and
WHEREAS the City of Madison Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the Madison Common Council on August 7, 2018 currently recommends Industrial development for properties located east of the Stoughton Road Frontage Road, near and along Robertson Road; and
WHEREAS the City of Madison is a aware of a development concept in an area east of the Stoughton Road Frontage Road, near Robertson Road to establish a facility to construct “Tiny Homes” and an on-site residential community where such homes could be placed and people live; and
WHEREAS such a use was not anticipated for this area in either the Stoughton Road Revitalization Project Plan or 2018 Comprehensive Plan and as such, the current plan recommendations are not believed to adequately support anticipated zoning changes necessary to facilitate such a development concept and that in addition to this plan amendment, establishment of such a use must be considered separately against all the applicable criteria and standards; and;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Stoughton Road Revitalization Project Plan is hereby amended to add Land Use Note “5” to the "Proposed Land Use Classifications" Map on page 38 to read:
“Limited Inclusion of Residential and Institutional Uses: Due to the relative proximity to a small number of existing residential and commercial properties, the establishment of limited Medium Residential, institutional, or similar uses may considered in the area recommended for industrial located along the Stoughton frontage Road, generally south of Milwaukee Street and north of Robertson Road. Any such non-industrial uses would need to be identified in a detailed land use proposal and would be subject to all applicable land use approvals.”
