City of Saratoga Springs p. 2 of 2 Application for Special Use Permit Special Use Permit — 55 Union Avenue Purpose of the request: To bring the property into compliance with current City of Saratoga Springs regulations that were recently updated in 2023. We are not adding additional rooms to the Inn or changing the property in any way, but rather attempting to bring the present business practices of the property in line with current regulations. Presently the Inn is allowed to have 10 guestrooms in the main house and 2 long term (rentals of 1 month or more) units within the carriage house but has been operating with 11 rooms in the main house and renting the carriage house as additional guestrooms. Compliance under the latest regulations requires reclassification to Hotel — 20 or less guestrooms. We would like to point out that we were unaware prior to purchasing the property in May of 2025 that previous ownership(s) had been in non-compliance with the City's regulations and are only seeking to legally conform through this Special Use request. Once again, we are not planning on altering the building or property, just trying to adhere to the regulations in place at this time.
