Hospital seeks zoning reallocation for 60,000-square-foot Center for Successful Aging
Summary
The Saratoga Hospital team asked the Planning Board to support a PUD amendment shifting roughly 29,000 sq ft of development capacity to allow a three-story, up-to-60,000 sq ft medical office building for geriatric services. The board probed parking, traffic and SEQRA implications and did not vote.
Matt Jones, of Jones Steve Grassi, presented the hospital's application to amend the 59 Myrtle Street PUD to allow a three-story Center for Successful Aging of up to 60,000 square feet and a maximum 50-foot height. He said the project would be accomplished by reallocating about 29,000 square feet of development capacity from Zone A to Zone B, leaving the hospital with over 100,000 square feet of future capacity.
Jones said the proposal is a project-specific PUD amendment and that architectural design would come later at site plan review. He noted the PUD has been amended multiple times in the past for hospital projects and framed the change as a way to consolidate geriatric-related medical services "so the discussion among the professionals who are serving that community is in a single building." The board did not vote; members asked for clearer site-plan and parking detail before forming a formal advisory recommendation to city council.
