Title
Amending Sections within Chapter 28 of the Madison General Ordinances related to drive-through windows.
Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: This proposed change amends several sections in MGO Chapter 28, the Zoning Code, that address “Vehicle Access Sales and Service Windows,” or commonly known as “Drive-Throughs”. First, the ordinance changes all “Vehicle Access Sales and Service Windows” to “Drive-Through Windows” for reader clarity. The site standards for Drive-Through Windows in the Transit-Oriented Developed Overlay District (MGO Sec. 28.104(8) and the applicable Supplemental Regulations (MGO Sec. 28.151) are amended to designate where the drive-through windows and automobile infrastructure may be located. All drive-throughs are also required to have pedestrian access. A definition for “Automobile Infrastructure” is added to MGO Sec. 28.211. Finally, MGO 28.194 is amended to add “Nonconforming Site Conditions” to establish that a lawful nonconforming site condition existing on the effective date of this ordinance may continue in its existing condition. However, no increase in the nonconformity of the site condition is permissible, unless otherwise allowed within Chapter 28.
