Zoning Board of Appeals (May 6th, 2026)

The City of Troy, NY Zoning Board of Appeals met on May 6, 2026, to consider several zoning variance requests related to property use and development. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a use variance to convert a single-family dwelling into a two-family residence at 1800 Mount St. Mary's Avenue, with conditions for future building permits if parking changes occur. Another significant item was the approval of a setback variance for a four-foot shadow box fence at 34 Brunswick Road, with the six-foot fence height variance denied. The board also reviewed a variance request for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 31 Christy Street, which involved grant-funded construction with owner-occupancy restrictions. The ADU variance was ultimately denied due to concerns about neighborhood character, enforceability of conditions, and insufficient proof of residency. The meeting included detailed discussions on zoning compliance, property conditions, and grant program requirements, but no direct contract awards or procurement actions were reported.
