City of Albany Zoning Ordinance Amendment-Residential
Multifamily Village Overlay District
2-12 Sandidge Way & 263-275 Fuller Road
Legislative Board (Bradley Glass)
An amendment to the City Zoning Ordinance to create an
overlay zoning district called Residential Multifamily
Village (RMV) assigned to an area of single family
residential properties located along Sandidge
Way/Loughlin Street and two properties along Fuller
Road/CR 156 to the south of Sandidge Way. The proposed
ordinance language states that the purpose of the RMV
zoning is to "provide for neighborhoods containing groups
of multifamily structures...a village within a city, when
located near centers of employment...to provide more
housing within walking distance."
The permitted uses in the zone include the uses allowed in
the original zoning for Single Family Low Density,
townhouses, multi-family, and community residential
facility. The maximum building height is 5 stories with
yard setbacks ranging from 10' to 20' and maximum
impervious coverage of 50%. Parking regulations are 1
space per unit, but parking may be reduced at the discretion
of the planning board. There are landscaping standards and
a 10' required buffer to adjacent single family uses.
Stormwater management is specifically addressed as being
under the City Water Board's jurisdiction to determine
adequacy of the infrastructure related to proposed
development, but provides the caveat that a development
can pay for the cost of installation of the required
infrastructure improvements needed for the project rather
than be modified.
