Title

Amending Sections in Chapter 28 of the Madison General Ordinances related to Downtown and Urban Districts to allow more permitted uses within the districts.

Body

DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS:    This proposed ordinance change amends MGO Sec. 28.072, 28.074 and 28.076 in the “Downtown and Urban Districts” section of the zoning code. It changes the threshold for when buildings in the Urban Mixed Use (UMX) or Downtown Core (DC) districts would need conditional use approval. The changes modify the threshold to allow more multi-family dwellings and larger-scale buildings as permitted uses in the two districts.
