Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway is introducing a package of changes to the city of Madison’s zoning ordinances as part of an ongoing effort to support the creation of more housing of all types.

The changes aim to make the zoning code easier to understand and provide more flexibility for homeowners who are looking to build or modify single-family homes and accessory dwelling units (ADUs); remove barriers to small residential infill redevelopment projects where they are already allowed; and make the city’s review process for demolitions of nonhistorical buildings more efficient.

The package of ordinance changes will be introduced at the Jan. 14 Common Council meeting before being referred to city boards, commissions, and committees for their review, where public comment will also be accepted.
