Resolution/Law Number: Res. 389
Date of Adoption: 10/10/2023
Justification: (state briefly why legislative action is requested)
Albany County Department of Public Works is requesting authorization of an agreement with the Town of Colonie, regarding certain matters of referral to the Albany County Planning Board (ACPB)
The Legislature authorized to amend the Albany County Planning Board’s list of Non-Referral items (Resolution 2023-389) to include the following three items that are of local concern in the Town of Colonie, do not have an impact on county-wide and pursuant to §190 of the Code of the Town of Colonie, undergo local administrative review and do not go before the town planning board or zoning board:
- Addition or other site change affecting less than 10,000 square feet
- Commercial redevelopment on lots less than one acre which meet the following conditions:
o Addition or other site change other than demolition; and
o Previously developed site with a building that was occupied within the preceding ten (10) years.
- Subdivision of a parcel of land into four (4) lots or fewer, where no new public streets are required.
Adding these items to the non-referral list would allow the Albany County Planning Board to spend extra time on projects that have County-wide impact, and would reduce the review timeframe for the applicant by one month.
