Re: Flat Rock Centre Concept Plan, Parcels # 165.52-4-45. 1 , 165.52-4-45.2
Mr. DeLeonardis,
In response to your letter dated December 4, 2018 regarding the Flat Rock Centre concept plan, I concur
with your analysis that this action brought by the City of Saratoga Springs would be exempt from the
provisions of the City's Zoning Ordinance under Section 1 .6 (C). I find that the project concept meets the
language and intent of that Section.
I would note that the properties on which the proposed project is to be located are within a designated
Architectural Review District. As such, I would recommend that the City seek an advisory review from the
Design Review Commission. Such review would be non-binding, but would provide valuable input to the
design process, and would help to ensure that the project is a harmonious addition to the downtown area.
I would also note that while certain areas in High Rock Park are designated as historic City Landmarks, the
subject parcels and project location do not contain any areas with such designation. As a result, there are no
items or areas subject to specific review under the provisions of Section 7.4. 18.
In summary, I can confirm that this proposed action is indeed exempt from the provisions of the City's
Zoning Ordinance, and may proceed without requirement for approvals from the City's Land Use Boards.
Respectfully,
Patrick Cogan
Assistant Building Inspector, Zoning Officer
