An overlay zoning district boundary, per Madison General Ordinances (MGO) Section 28.104, that modifies permitted residential dwelling unit maximums, maximum permitted building heights, site standards for buildings, and site standards for automobile infrastructure in select zoning districts.

The Generalized Future Land Use (GFLU) Map makes recommendations for future land uses and development intensities to guide the physical development of Madison. The future land use categories guide what types of zoning can be applied, and ultimately what can be built in different parts of the city. For example, a parcel of land specified for future “Medium Residential” land use could be rezoned to allow for a multifamily apartment building but could not be rezoned to allow for industrial uses.

The Generalized Future Land Use Map contains eighteen “Map Notes” which provide more explanation about the intent of the land use designation as applied to that location. Many Map Notes point out additional land use and design issues that should be considered when development is reviewed.

Planned Streets on the Generalized Future Land Use Map show the approximate locations where future streets are intended to be built.
