Northeast Area Plan
Northeast Area Plan draft review events!
Draft Plan Recommendations and plan development
The DRAFT recommendations were presented at the December 17th open house. Staff is now working to incorporate those recommendations into a draft plan, expected to be release in April or May
Project Schedule:
---
The Northeast Area Plan kicked off in January 2023 and will address land use, transportation, housing, parks and open space, stormwater management, economic development, historic and cultural resources, and facilities and utilities. Equitable and inclusive public participation will be key to the success of the process to help ensure that it is accessible to a broad audience, including people who are traditionally underrepresented.

Planning Framework
The Northeast Area Plan will be one of the first planning processes following the City’s new Planning Framework. Approved by the Common Council on August 2, 2022, the Planning Framework is a shift in how Madison approaches planning for areas of the city. The new framework will simplify and standardize the City’s sub-area planning and it is intended to achieve more equitable outcomes by covering the entire city with 12 discrete Area Plan geographies.
Area plans will:
- Be updated every 10 years to ensure recommendations are timely and relevant.
- Address a consistent set of topics and include higher-level recommendations for land use, transportation, parks and open space, community facilities, and utilities
- Include public outreach and engagement during each phase of the planning process with special emphasis on reaching residents and communities typically underrepresented in City processes.
- Ensure all areas of the City and its peripheral growth areas have plans, and eliminate confusion created from overlapping plan geographies with different recommendations
- Facilitate enhanced coordination between City initiatives and divisions
