Title
Amending Section 28.104(2) of the Madison General Ordinances to add an Exemption from Transit Oriented Development Requirements for Madison- and Dane County-Owned Parks.
Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: This ordinance change amends MGO 28.104(2) to exempt development in parks owned by the City of Madison and Dane County from the requirements of the Transit Oriented Development Overlay (“TOD”). The proposed change amends the “Applicability” section of MGO 28.104(2). This change reflects feedback that development within parks has challenges complying with TOD requirements as parks have recreation-oriented uses that drive the size and location of structures and parking within a site.
