Re: SCPB Referral Review #19-68 -Text and Map Amendment-Wesley Community
PUD Amendment
Proposed amendment to an existing PUD with request for increased boundary and
additional buildings from the original PUD legislation.
Location: Lawrence Street (Town of Greenfield-City Zoning Map amendment)
Received from the City of Saratoga Springs City Council on April 19, 2019.
Reviewed by the Saratoga County Planning Board on May 16, 2019.
Decision: Not Referrable
Comment: The proposed PUD amendment was referred to the Saratoga County
Planning Board (SCPB) by city staff based upon the GML 239 requirement that zoning
amendments for projects located within 500 feet of a state or county ROW or a
municipal boundary are deemed referable. On the day following an informative hour
and fifteen-minute on-site review of the existing facilities and the proposed demolition
and construction conducted courtesy of the applicant's representative I learned by
aerial mapping that the PUD property boundary was just over 1,240 feet from the
municipal boundary between Saratoga Springs and Greenfield. Hence, no formal
review and recommendation by the SCPB is required or necessary. If, however, such
recommended review were required staff indicated to its board at the monthly meeting
that it would have no qualms at a favorable recommendation for approval for the
amendment of the PUD.
