Board approves Happy Days cannabis retail change of use in Guilderland referral
Summary
Albany County Planning Board approved a county referral for Happy Days dispensary (Yeserno LLC) at 1656 Western Avenue, noting it is a change of use in an existing building and that DOT review would apply only if access changes are proposed.
The Albany County Planning Board voted to approve a county referral for a proposed cannabis retail dispensary, Happy Days (Yeserno LLC), at 1656 Western Avenue in the town of Guilderland. Staff described the proposal as a change of use in an existing building with no exterior modifications proposed.
Board members asked whether a site plan existed and confirmed there are no schools near the address identified by staff. Members noted the item is a change of use (not new construction) and that DOT permits would be required only if the project modifies access to a state highway. A motion to approve the referral passed unanimously.
Next steps: the Town of Guilderland will proceed with its zoning board of appeals and local permitting process, and will coordinate any state permits if access modifications are proposed.
