City narrowly approves zoning changes

In an 11–9 vote, the Madison City Council has adopted a list of zoning changes that aim to help the city’s supply of multifamily housing, according to a Wisconsin State Journal report. The controversial changes are meant to streamline the development of small- and medium-scale housing options in specific districts by making the approval process easier. While some believe the changes will help the supply of affordable housing, opponents of the changes fear they catered more toward developers and could reduce resident feedback.
