Saratoga Springs City
Summary
A developer requested a citywide code change to quadruple the maximum building footprint in Neighborhood Commercial zones from 15,000 to 60,000 square feet to accommodate a charter school. Residents and commissioners overwhelmingly opposed the change, citing concerns about neighborhood character, traffic congestion, and setting a precedent for intensive commercial growth.
