Zoning Board of Appeals (July 1, 2026)

The City of Troy, NY Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on July 1, 2026, primarily focused on zoning variance requests and a major mixed-use development project. Key procurement-related discussions included the Unity House of Troy's lot line adjustment requiring variances for building frontage, side yard setback, and impervious lot coverage, all of which were approved by the board. Another agenda item involved a small bathroom addition at 108 Adams Street, with four area variances approved. The meeting's major highlight was the introduction of the Lansingburgh Gateway project, a 205-unit workforce housing development with 11,000 square feet of commercial space, proposed by Attic Labs and Rockabill Development. The project requires multiple variances related to building height, setbacks, parking, and frontage. The developers discussed funding sources, including state tax-exempt bonds and federal tax credits, emphasizing no direct use of city tax dollars. Public concerns were raised about traffic, parking adequacy, building aesthetics, and density. The board scheduled a public hearing for the project and noted that further variance discussions and votes would occur in August. Overall, the meeting involved detailed presentations and approvals of zoning variances and introduced a significant capital improvement project with associated procurement and funding considerations.
