RESOLUTION NO. 389
AUTHORIZING THE ALBANY COUNTY PLANNING BOARD TO ADD NON-REFERRAL ITEMS FOR TOWN OF COLONIE
Introduced: 10/10/23
By Public Works Committee:
WHEREAS, The Commissioner of the Department of Public Works has requested authorization to amend the Albany County Planning Board’s (ACPB) list of Non-Referral items to include three that are of local concern in the Town of Colonie and do not have an impact county-wide, and
WHEREAS, The Commissioner has indicated that pursuant to § 190 of the Code of the Town of Colonie, the following items 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:
a. Addition or other site change other than demolition; and
b. Previously developed site with a building that was occupied within the preceding 10 years.
• Subdivision of a parcel of land into four lots or fewer, where no new public streets are required.
, and
WHEREAS, Adding these items to the Non-Referral list would allow ACPB to focus on projects that have a county-wide impact while also reducing the review time frame for each applicant, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, By the Albany County Legislature that the Department of Public Works is authorized to amend ACPB’s list of Non-Referral items to include the three aforementioned items in the Town of Colonie, and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the County Legislature is directed to forward certified copies of this resolution to the appropriate County Officials.
