MEMORANDUM To: From: Date: Re: Mayor Johnson Commissioners Franck, Madigan, Mathiesen and Scirocco Bradley Birge June 27, 2013 Proposed Map and Text Amendments to the Saratoga Hospital Medical Professional PUD

The City has received a petition for a proposed map and text amendment relating to the Saratoga Hospital Medical/Professional PUD. The petitioner seeks to amend the Saratoga Hospital Medical/Professional PUD legislation to increase the permitted total square footage to accommodate a new surgical suite (replacing the existing Cramer House) and to remove a portion of real property currently located w/in the boundaries of the PUD. Details of this proposal include: Demolition of the existing Cramer House located proximate to the intersection of Church and Myrtle Construction of a 33,900 sq. ft. surgical suite addition consisting of a 3-story addition that will house 10 operating rooms (including the relocation of 7 existing rooms), pre- and post-care operating rooms, pre-admission testing and waiting areas, and elevators. The structure will be engineered to accommodate potential future vertical expansion up to a total of 5 stories. Modification of the PUD boundary to remove the property located on the south side of Church Street (#238) from the PUD (originally envisioned as a physician respite area). Removal of this parcel from the PUD will require designating an appropriate zoning district for this parcel; adjacent and neighboring parcels to the west and east along Church Street are currently zoned Office Medical Business-2 (OMB-2). General updates and clean up within the legislation

Petition process: At the July 2 meeting, the Council may entertain whether this petition has merit for review. If the Council determines there is no merit at this time, no further action need occur. However, should the Council determine there is merit for review, the following must occur prior to City Council action: - Referral to City Planning Board for required advisory opinion (Zoning Ord. 240-10.1.5.1). While not required, given the propertys location within an Architectural Review district and the proposed demolition of the Cramer House, the Council may consider requesting an advisory opinion from the Design Review Commission. - Referral to Saratoga County Planning Board (GML 239-M) - Public hearing on this action by the City Council, including prior newspaper and adjacent property owner noticing - a determination of potential significant environmental impacts per SEQRA 6 NYCRR Part 617

General location maps follow. Also, a location map for the current PUD boundaries (tab 7) and a sketch plan for the proposed resulting PUD boundaries (tab 5) are included in the distributed application materials. Please contact me (x2515), or Kate Maynard (x2517), if you have any questions or would like any additional information. --------------------------------------------------------------------------From Zoning Map:
