Title

Amending various sections of Chapter 28 of the Madison General Ordinances related to lodging to allow hotel and motel rentals of thirty days or more.

Body

DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS:    This proposed change amends sections of the Zoning Code, Chapter 28, to allow for hotels to rent fifty percent (50%) of their rooms for stays of thirty (30) consecutive days or more, which is currently allowed for motels. This would provide some additional flexibility while preserving the difference between hotels and apartments and preventing the hotel use from being used to bypass Parks Impact Fee requirements. To allow this, ‘Hotel’ and ‘Motel’ are combined as a single definition in MGO Sec. 28.211 and a supplemental regulation for this new use category is created in MGO Sec. 28.151.
