Mr. Brown currently represent the University on the City of Madison's Zoning Code Update Committee. Currently, their is a proposal that would create a new sub-district for the University. This would allow the University to bypass certain commission during the approval of construction projects--as long as the proposed projects were in compliance with the Campus Master Plan.
