What does SR-V2 zoning mean?
The Suburban Res - Varied 2 district (SR-V2) is a suburban residential zoning classification in the City of Madison Zoning Code (Chapter 28). Properties in this district are subject to density, height, lot coverage, and use restrictions specific to SR-V2.
Development potential in SR-V2
The minimum lot area per dwelling unit is 1,500 sq ft. On a typical 5,000 sq ft lot, this allows up to 3 units by density alone. A hard cap of 24 units per lot applies regardless of lot size.
Maximum building height: 52 feet (4 stories). Maximum lot coverage: 60% — the total footprint of all buildings cannot exceed this share of the lot.
ADU eligibility in SR-V2
Yes — Accessory Dwelling Units are allowed in SR-V2 zoning.
To be ADU-eligible, your lot must also be at least 5,000 sq ft, have 1-8 existing dwelling units, and be residential. ADU-specific rules (1,000 sq ft max footprint, 25 ft max height, 3 ft setbacks) apply regardless of the base zoning district.
