Saratoga Springs releases draft development ordinance for review; future of ‘greenbelt’ among issues | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
The Saratoga Springs City Council last week released a final draft development ordinance for review, one of the final steps in a multi-year effort to update the city’s zoning, subdivision, and other rules governing development.
The council voted 4-1 to release the Unified Development Ordinance for review, which formally sends the 304-page document now in its third draft to the city Planning Board, Design Review Commission and Saratoga County Planning Board for the review and comments. Zoning, subdivision and other regulations are separate now, and part of the goal is to bring them into a single governing document.

SARATOGA SPRINGS – Saying it doesn’t adequately protect the city’s green space, Sustainable Saratoga is asking the city to slow its march to adopt zoning updates in its unified development ordinance.
Sustainable Saratoga recently celebrated the communityâs resilience and hope for the future by planting trees at the homes of 15 Saratogian families. This most recent outing by volunteers brings the total number of Tree Toga plantings to 270 trees since 2014.
