Analysis

This ordinance makes various corrections, clarifications and minor substantive changes to the zoning code, including:

 

1.  On-street parking spaces that are counted towards meeting off-street parking requirements must be available for public use during the hours of operation of the use (e.g., business) they serve, rather than 24 hours per day, as currently required.

 

2.  Perimeter landscaping and edge treatment requirements are established for vehicle operating areas parallel to street lot lines on premises occupied by filling stations, automatic teller machines, drive-through facilities, car washes, etc.

 

3.  A minimum-lot-area-per-resident requirement is created for transitional living facilities.

 

4.  A roof overhang on a detached garage may project into a required setback area up to one-third of the required setback.  Currently, no projection into the setback area is allowed.

 

5.  There shall be no minimum front setback for a non-residential principal structure located on a corner lot in a commercial zoning district.

 

6.  Glass in windows and doors that is to be used to meet glazing (façade transparency) requirements shall not obscure clear vision of objects on the other side of the glass. Spandrel glass shall not be counted towards meeting glazing requirements, either. Presently, glass that is to be counted towards meeting a glazing requirement must only meet a 65% light-transmission standard.

 

7.  The regulations for signs in a lakefront overlay zone are revised to closely mirror those for signs in downtown zoning districts.

Body

The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:

 

Part 1.  Section 295-201-676.3 of the code is created to read:

 

676.3.  VEHICLE OPERATING AREA means an area adjacent to a street lot line where motor vehicles are operated, including but not limited to such areas located on the premises of filling stations, automatic teller machines, drive-through facilities and car washes.

 

Part 2.  Section 295-205-17-d of the code is created to read:

 

295-205.  Rules of Measurement.

 

17.  MEASURING DISTANCES.

 

d.  Distance Between Uses.  Whenever the provisions of this chapter require measuring the distance between existing and proposed uses, the distance shall be measured as the shortest distance between lot lines of the 2 uses.

 

Part 3.  Section 295-311-2-h-0 and 2 of the code is amended to read:

 

295-311.  Appeals. 

 

2.  SPECIAL USE PERMITS. 

 

h.  Additional [[Finding]] >>Findings<< for Day Care Centers.  No special use permit for a day care center, other than an adult day care center, shall be granted by the board unless the board finds, in addition to the findings required by par. d, that:

 

h-2.  If the day care center is not located in a building containing an elementary or secondary school, religious assembly, community center, cultural institution or library as a principal use, the facility will not be located within 300 feet of a premises for which the common council has granted any of the alcohol beverage licenses identified in s. 90-4-1, 2 and 5 and such license is currently valid.  This finding shall not be required for a day care center [[for which the board has granted a special use permit prior to February 3, 2007]] >>that is in operation as a nonconforming use or that has been granted a special use permit by the board<< .

 

Part 4.  Section 295-403-2-b-2 of the code is amended to read:

 

295-403.  Parking.

 

2.  NUMBER OF SPACES.

 

b.  Adjustment to Number Required. 

 

b-2.  One space for each on-street parking space that is located immediately adjacent to the site of the use, provided that such on-street space is available for public use [[24 hours per day]] >>during the hours of operation of the use<< .  To qualify for this credit, an on-street parking space shall be in compliance with all city parking regulations and shall measure at least 20 feet long if a parallel space.

 

Part 5.  Table 295-405-1-a of the code is amended to read:

 

Table 295-405-1-a PERIMETER LANDSCAPING AND EDGE TREATMENT REQUIREMENTS BY USE AND ZONING DISTRICT

Key:  required - this is the minimum landscaping/edge treatment requirement for this land use in the specified zoning district allowed - this landscaping/edge treatment type may be used as an alternative to the “required” type for this land use in the specified zoning district not permitted - this landscaping/edge treatment type cannot be used for this particular use in the specified zoning district use not permitted - this land use is not permitted in this zoning district; therefore, no required landscaping type is specified
