RESIDENTIAL DENSITY
DEVELOPMENT PRECEDENT
Citizen Concerns

17. INCREASED TRAFFIC Citizen Concerns
One of the most talked about concerns
Safety issue for pedestrians and drivers
Increased congestion along Madison and surrounding residential streets (ie Zumstein, Mooney, Burch)
Proposed vehicle entrance and exit near the Madison/Zumstein intersection
Citizen Concerns

19. PARKING Citizen Concerns Concern for insufficient parking plan
Currently 321 parking spaces in the plan
237 for residential apartments (1.32 per unit)
67 retail
17 office
Restaurants vs Retail space requirements
Citizen Concerns

20. SIZE AND DESIGN Citizen Concerns Large size and scope of building
Lack of architectural articulation or traditional Hyde Park building design
Three isolated properties not included in subject property
Decrease in property value
Long construction process
Citizen Concerns

21. RESIDENTIAL DENSITY Citizen Concerns
Current calculations show a 471 sq. ft. lot area per dwelling
This density is 49% greater than dwelling density allowed in any zoning district outside downtown district
Ideal density would be greater than 700 sq. ft.
Citizen Concerns

22. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS Citizen Concerns
Opens the door for similar projects to continue throughout Hyde Park
Possibility of increased number of developments stemming from Rookwood and continuing down Madison
Citizen Concerns

23. Zoning Laws What is Zoning?
Zoning regulates the use and development of land. It is designed to place compatible uses together and protect property values by preventing incompatible uses in close proximity to each other.
Every property is assigned to a zoning district

26. Zoning Laws What is the process to establish a Planned Development?
All zone changes begin with an application to the City by the developer.
The Department of City Planning schedules a Staff Conference which is a public meeting to hear opinions on the proposed development. They then prepare a report which includes the public’s comments and professional planning staff analysis. The report contains a recommendation which is submitted to the Planning Commission.
The City Planning Commission meetings are open to public and there is an opportunity for comments on each matter. After hearing from the public and Commission discussion, the Planning Commission votes to Approve, Approve with changes, Disapprove, or Postpone the Planning Staff recommendation.

27. What is the process to establish a Planned Development? (cont’d)
The next step is a public hearing before the City Council Neighborhoods Committee which also accepts public comment. The Neighborhoods Committee will vote and make a recommendation to City Council.
City Council will make the final decision on all zoning petitions. (If the City Planning Commission fails to approve a zone change, City Council must have at least a two‐thirds vote (6) of all members to overrule such failure to approve and adopt the proposed zone change).
