66.1015 AnnotationThis section preempted an ordinance that required a development with ten or more rental dwelling units to provide no less than 15 percent of its total number of dwelling units as inclusionary dwelling units when the development required a zoning map amendment, subdivision, or land division, defining “inclusionary dwelling unit” as a dwelling unit for rent to a family with an annual median income at or below 60 percent of the area median income. Sub. (2) (b) plainly applies only to agreements with private persons who, on their own, choose to regulate rent and makes clear that a municipality is not imposing rent control if it contracts with those persons for some other purpose or somehow assists them. The ordinance was not an agreement to regulate rent between the city and persons who apply for zoning map amendments, subdivision, or land division. Apartment Ass’n of South Central Wisconsin v. City of Madison, 2006 WI App 192, 296 Wis. 2d 173, 722 N.W.2d 614, 05-3140.
