RE: SCPB Referral Review #21-116-Site Plan Review-269 Broadway LLC
A proposed six-story, mixed-use building with underground parking.
Location: Property located on Broadway (NYS Rt. 50), west side, south of Congress Street and
east of Hamilton Street
165.75-1-7
T-6 Zoning District
Received from the City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board on September 8, 2021.
Reviewed by the Saratoga County Planning Board on September 16, 2021
Decision: No Significant Countywide or Intercommunity Impact
Comment: Just over three years ago the SCPB reviewed the subject site related to the planned
demolition of the structure on this 0.518-acre parcel adjacent to the Spa Catholic Central
School. We note that the proposed development of this property, particularly due to its
Broadway location, will receive due professional review by city staff and the City's Planning
Board and the Design Review Commission. Of import to the County Planning Board will be the
city's review of traffic impacts and mitigation (as or if necessitated). Particularly, the project's
impact to parking, the traffic impact to area street intersections (turn movements and traffic
signalization), and providing for any necessary mitigation are important aspects that the
applicant will have to address before the planning board. One example would be addressing
bus and car movement on Hamilton Street and the intersections twice a day around the same
time as office users will be entering/exiting. We recognize that the T-6 zoning standards for
core areas of the city minimize what would be requirements for on-street and off-street parking
in other districts and believe that the applicant will be thoroughly addressing how those needs
are addressed by the site/structual design.
