ZMA #0007 – Favorable Vote: 4-0-0 Recommendation ADVISORY NOTES: The Planning Board suggests that the Common Council consider the following items when reviewing the proposed zoning map amendment: 1. Consideration should be given to removing the portions of the proposed zoning map amendment that front Second Avenue to limit visual impacts on adjacent properties. 2. Efforts should be taken to ensure that all existing residents that choose to remain in their homes can do so without being negatively impacted. 3. Analysis of the map amendment must consider the full breadth of the potential build-out scenarios including but not limited to the “Seventy Six” project. 4. To avoid the perception of spot zoning, a clear articulation should be made of the unique circumstances that make this site location and rezoning appropriate, as distinguished from other sites that may exhibit similar features and conditions. 200 HENRY JOHNSON BOULEVARD | ALBANY, NEW YORK 12210 | (518) 465-6066  Planning Board Agenda July 2020 PROJECT #00361 Applications CUP #0033 Property Address 62 Dana Avenue Applicant RJS RE Holdings, LLC Representing Agent Michael Roman, C2 Architecture Zoning District R-T (Townhouse) Request Conditional Use Permit - §375-5(E)(16) Proposal Conversion of a two-family townhouse to a three-family townhouse.
