NOTICE OF DECISION
In the matter of the application #20190604
Robin Lauder LLC d/b/a The Cluett House Bed & Breakfast
2 Clement Avenue
Saratoga Springs, NY 12866
Involving the premises with tax parcel # 165.35-2- 17, in the City of Saratoga Springs, on an application for a
special use permit for a Neighborhood Bed & Breakfast in the Urban Residential — I District.
In accordance with 6 NYCRR Part 617, the Planning Board classifies this action as Type II and exempt from
further SEQRA review.
Having properly noticed and conducted a public hearing on July 25, 2019 as required; the public hearing was
closed on November 7, 2019 on the proposed use;
And, upon evaluation of the application based on the City's enumerated criteria to ensure that the proposed use
will not adversely affect surrounding properties and community character;
And, in accordance with requirements set forth in the City Zoning Ordinance, chapter 240, article 7. I "Special
Use Permit", the Planning Board issues the following decision on November 7, 2019:
Deny
Upon evaluation of the criteria for special use permits set forth in 7. I .3 to ensure that the proposed use would
not adversely affect surrounding properties and community character the Board finds the following:
The density, intensity and compatibility of the use with the neighborhood and community character:
The applicant failed to satisfy this criteria. The Board found that while in some instances a Neighborhood Bed &
Breakfast would be compatible within the Urban Residential — I District, the subject neighborhood is not one of
those areas. This low density neighborhood is dominated primarily by single-family residences. The
neighborhood is too far and too removed from the economic center of the City.
The long-term economic viability of the site, neighboring properties and districts:
The applicant failed to satisfy this criteria. The Board found that economic viability comes into question with
regard to impacts on the neighborhood and the value of neighboring properties with a Bed & Breakfast in this
single-family neighborhood.
