As you know, our firm has been working with the Queensbury Masonic Historical Society with regard to the zoning of its property at 15 Burke Drive. The Historical Society has received a proposal from a proposed tenant to operate a day-care center at a portion of the property. The property, in addition to housing the Historical Society's museum, has housed a preschool in the past. We believe a day-care center is complimentary to this past use. The proposal is to add "Day-care Center"to the Neighborhood Residential Zone as defined and provided for in Chapter 179 of the Code of the Town of Queensbury (the "Zoning Law"). We believe that this use would meet the current demands of society in general in the post-Covid employment world. Day-care is often sited as one of the bigger impediments to parents returning to work, with minimal impact to the Neighborhood Residential zone in general. In reviewing the Town's zoning map, it appears that this use would be reasonable as to the properties included in the zone. Attached are the following exhibits: 1. Chapter 179 Attachment 2- Summary of Allowed Uses in Residential Districts; 2. Chapter 179 Attachment 3- Summary of Allowed Uses in Commercial Districts; 3. Zoning Map. 4. Full SEQRA EAF Form. The schedules of uses for the residential districts under current Chapter 179 are set forth at Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively. They reflect that the day-care use is not allowed currently in the NR zone. The proposal is to permit it following site plan review by the planning board.
