As we noted in our July 17, 2013 letter on this same rezoning proposal, the subject property is located within Madison's extraterritorial jurisdiction and the Boundary Adjustment Area-Madison defined in the Town of Burke, Village of DeForest, City of Sun Prairie and City of Madison Cooperative Plan dated January 5, 2007. Under the terms of the Cooperative Plan, all "development" (as defined in the Plan) is required to follow the City of Madison's development requirements, which include, but are not limited to, adopted ordinances, plans, policies, standards and procedures, all adopted neighborhood development plans, land use or comprehensive plans, and the Land Subdivision Regulations Ordinance. Also under the terms of the Cooperative Plan, developments may be required to have the full range of urban services, including public sewer and public water service, and may be required to attach to the City of Madison to receive those services, in the City's sole discretion. The City of Madison has no objection per se to the proposed rezoning of portions of the Duckart property from the C-1 zoning district to the A-1, RH-1, R-1, and R-1A zoning districts, as those zoning districts would reflect and distinguish the several existing uses developed on the property. Nor is the City necessarily opposed to the intended future subdivision that would create separate parcels for these individual uses. However, the City does not support the creation of a separate, undeveloped 8.5-acre parcel that would retain County C-1 Commercial zoning, as would be accomplished by the subject rezoning application together with a proposed future subdivision that would mirror the zoning lots. Subdivision of this property would be considered "development" under the terms of the Cooperative Plan, and this letter is to advise the applicant and the DCZLR Committee that the City will not be able to support the future proposed subdivision if it creates a vacant parcel zoned to allow non-agricultural or non- residential uses.
