Sketch Layout Explanation

PLEASE BE AWARE: There are no current approvals in place for a project at this site. Any hypothetical project at this site would be subject to full town approval.

Important to note:

  • As contemplated in Town of QBY Code § 179-3-040B(2)
    • No residential uses shall be allowed less than 600 feet off Bay Road.
  • "Table 3: Summary of Allowed Uses in Commercial Districts" identifies Multifamily house/condo as an allowable use, subject to site plan review. 
  • "Table 1 Table of Area Requirements" identifies Residential Density for "O" (Office) Zoning code as 1 acre per 8 dwelling units. 

The sketch layout above is possible with the approval from the town as it relates to acreage to be included in the density calculation:

  • Property line adjustment that sees an addition of ~(+/-)1.67 acres from the adjoining property to the rear that includes structures that accompany the horse farm.
    • This property would need to be viewed as "O" zoning in the eyes of the Town of Queensbury for inclusion in the density calculation.
  • Obtain a variance to reduce the 600' setback off Bay Rd. to 500' (as what the setback was when the current owner purchased the property in May of 2021).
