Planning board approves Trinity Alliance expansion; water sign-off required before permit
Summary
Albany Planning Board approved a conditional use permit and development plan review for a 20,000-square-foot addition to Trinity Alliance, with a condition that final approval come from the Department of Water and Water Supply before a building permit is issued.
The Albany Planning Board voted Aug. 5 to approve a conditional use permit and development plan review for 15 and 31 Trinity Place, allowing Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region to expand its adjacent facility with a two-story, more-than-20,000-square-foot community center.
The approval was placed on the meeting consent agenda and passed after a motion, a second and an oral vote. Staff recommended approval with one condition: final approval from the Department of Water and Water Supply must be obtained before issuance of a building permit.
Staff told the board the project includes major interior renovations to the existing Trinity Alliance facility and a new two-story building on the combined lots. The condition requiring the water-department sign-off was described by staff as a prerequisite for a building permit; no other conditions or modifications were added by the board.
Because the item was on the consent agenda, board discussion was brief and no public comment was recorded during the meeting. The Planning Board’s action was a recommendation-level approval on the development-review pathway used by the city; the recorded condition ties final permitting to the Department of Water and Water Supply’s approval.
The board did not identify funding sources, construction schedule or other permitting steps at the meeting. Those details were not specified in the record and will be resolved during subsequent permitting and agency reviews.
