neW sCotlanD hamlet zoning & site Design NEW SCOTLAND – The New Scotland Hamlet Zoning and Site Design Standards Study Advisory Committee has scheduled a public workshop for Thursday, Septem-ber 24 at the Voorheesville High School Commons from 7:00-9:00pm. The purpose of this meeting is to gather feedback from the public on potential zoning strategies for the New Scotland Hamlet area. The purpose of this study, which kicked off in April of this year, is to create a mixed-use zoning district to replace the current com-mercial zoning in the area surrounding the Route 85 and Route 85A intersection. Any new zoning district proposed will support the Town of New Scotland’s implementation of the Hamlet Master Plan that was completed in 2012. This study also includes the development of design stan-dards for the new district that balance the area’s sig-nificance as the town’s largest commercial zone with the highly scenic and rural character of the community. The Study Advisory Committee has assisted in this planning effort. The Committee consists of residents appointed by the Town Board, Albany County, the Capital District Re-gional Planning Commission, New York State Department of Transportation, and the Capital District Transportation Authority. The Capital District Transportation Committee and the Town chose AECOM (formerly known as URS Corporation) to conduct the study based on their exten-sive experience and skill in land use planning and zoning in communities similar to New Scotland. The Study Advi-sory Committee has met regularly since April to prepare materials and plan for the public workshop. Further in-

formation on the project and upcoming meetings can be found at www.newscotlandzoning.blogspot.com / and at www.townofnewscotland.com in the town calendar. “This work is the culmination of significant planning efforts by the Town and several county agencies”, said Thomas E. Dolin, Supervisor of the Town of New Scotland. “We look forward to new zoning recommendations for this impor-tant commercial zone in our town.” This study is being funded through the Capital District Transportation Com-mittee’s (CDTC) Linkage Program. The study has a total budget of $70,000, $52,000 of which is paid by CDTC and $17,500 by local cash match. CDTC is the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the Albany-Schenecta-dy-Troy and Saratoga Springs metropolitan area. CDTC provides a forum for state and local officials to discuss transportation issues and reach a consensus on transpor-tation plans and programs. The CDTC Linkage Program has funded 83 studies, with an investment of over $5 million in federal, state, and local funds since it began in 2000.
