Title
A substitute ordinance amending the Development Incentive Zone overlay known as the East End Menomonee Valley Development Incentive Zone, on land located generally West of North 6th Street on the north and south sides of West Canal Street, in the 12th Aldermanic District.
Analysis
This substitute ordinance amends the existing East End Menomonee Valley Development Incentive Zone by replacing the current sustainable performance standards, described as Exhibit B in File No. 061436, with revised sustainable performance standards, described herein as Exhibit B Revised.
Specifically, since the adoption of the original performance standards in 2007, various regulations and metrics cited in the standards have become obsolete or have been updated to newer standards, rendering sections of the current standards out of date and therefore necessitating revisions.
Body
Resolved, That the Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, do ordain as follows:
Part 1. There is added to the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances (“Code”) a new section to read as follows:
Section 295-1007(2)(a). The zoning map is amended to re-establish the East End Menomonee Valley Development Incentive Zone (DIZ) for the properties located at 712 West Canal Street, Tax Key No. 398-0303-110; 880 West Canal Street, Tax Key No. 398-0305-112; 643 West Canal Street, Tax Key No. 427-0542-111; 131 South 7th Street, Tax Key No. 427-0203-111; 841 West Canal Street, Tax Key No. 427-0541-000; and 833 West Canal Street, Tax Key No. 427-0203-120.
Part 2. In accordance with the provisions of Section 295-1007(2)(a) of the Code relating to the establishment of a Development Incentive Zone, the Common Council reapproves the list of permitted and prohibited uses, which remains unchanged as passed in File No. 061436 on May 5, 2007, a copy of which is attached to this Common Council File as Exhibit A, which is on file in the office of the City Clerk and made a part thereof as though fully set forth herein.
Part 3. In accordance with the provisions of Section 295-1007(2)(a) of the Code relating to the establishment of a Development Incentive Zone, the Common Council approves and establishes the revised performance standards for the East End Menomonee Valley Development Incentive Zone, a copy of which is attached to this Common Council File as Exhibit B Revised, which is on file in the office of the City Clerk and made part thereof as though fully set forth herein.
Part 4. In accordance with the provisions of Section 295-1007(2)(h) of the Code relating to deviations from a Development Incentive Zone overlay, the City Plan Commission is authorized to grant variances to these design standards on a case-by-case basis when development in strict accordance with the design standards would cause a hardship or practical difficulty and there are unusual circumstances or conditions which apply to these properties. Any variance granted shall be consistent with the intent of the East End Menomonee Valley Development Incentive Zone and shall not create substantial detriment to adjacent properties nor materially impair their development.
