Title
An ordinance relating to the procedure for creation of interim study overlay zones.
Sections
295-1005-2-a
Analysis
The original intent of the interim study overlay zone designation was to provide a mechanism, other than a development moratorium, to prevent potentially inappropriate development from occurring before the city is able to prepare an area-specific comprehensive plan element. However, the current zoning code requires that, before an interim study overlay zone may be created for a particular location, that location must be in an area for which an area-specific comprehensive plan element has been adopted by the city plan commission. This ordinance changes the procedure for creation of an interim study overlay zone to require only that preparation of the area-specific comprehensive plan element be authorized or underway, rather than completed.
Body
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
Part 1. Section 295-1005-2-a of the code is amended to read:
295-1005. Interim Study Overlay Zone (IS).
2. PROCEDURES.
a. Creation. Creation of an interim study overlay zone shall be by amendment to the zoning map, pursuant to s. 295-307, and may occur only in a location for which an area-specific comprehensive plan element [[has been adopted]] >>is scheduled to be prepared or is currently being prepared<< by the city plan commission.
