and WHEREAS, the City owns and operates the Rapp Road Landfill located at 525 Rapp Road to meet the solid waste disposal needs of City residents and businesses, as well as the Capital Region Solid Waste Management Partnership Planning Unit (“CRSWMP”), and it is estimated that the Rapp Road Landfill will reach its total disposal capacity near the end of 2027 and will close in accordance with applicable NYSDEC regulations and approved closure plan documents; and WHEREAS, the City, in accordance with long-term solid waste management strategies, plans to permit, construct and operate a solid waste transfer facility to continue to meet the solid waste disposal needs of residents and businesses in the City and CRSWMP; and WHEREAS, in order to construct and operate a solid waste transfer facility it is necessary for the City to acquire the three properties adjacent to the existing Rapp Road Landfill, located at 502, 504 and 506 Rapp Road, identified as tax map parcel numbers 41.00-2-114, 41.00-2-115 and 41.00-2-116 (the “Property”) as shown more fully on the Acquisition Map entitled “Map Showing Proposed Taking of Land for Municipal Purposes 502, 504 and 506 Rapp Road, City of Albany, County of Albany, State of New York,” attached hereto as Exhibit A; and WHEREAS, the Acquisition Map details the three properties to be acquired, with the proposed solid waste transfer facility being constructed on all three properties (the “Project” or “Proposed Action”); and WHEREAS, the Project’s solid waste transfer facility will consist of a single building in which solid waste is collected, sorted and prepared for transportation, permitting the City to accept a waste stream consisting of municipal solid waste and construction and demolition debris and to accept bulk recyclables for transfer only on an interim basis; and WHEREAS, pursuant to EDPL the City of Albany Common Council (the “Council”) opened a public hearing on December 15, 2025 to consider the Project after serving notice on the Property’s owners, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit B, and giving due public notice by publishing a copy of the notice in the Albany Times Union each day from December 2, 2025 through December 6, 2025, a copy of the affidavit of publication is attached hereto as Exhibit C; and WHEREAS, at the public hearing City staff outlined the purpose and proposed location of the public Project for which the acquisition of the Property was proposed; and WHEREAS, the Common Council, after providing opportunities for the public to give oral statements and submit written comments, closed the Public Hearing on December 15, 2025; and WHEREAS, the Proposed Action of acquiring property pursuant to an eminent domain proceeding under the EDPL in order to construct and operate a solid waste transfer facility is considered an Unlisted Action in accordance with the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”) at 6 NYCRR Part 617; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that there are no other involved agencies, or in the alternative, has elected to conduct an uncoordinated SEQRA review; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 617.7(c) of the SEQRA regulations, the Common Council has undertaken the following analysis to determine whether the Proposed Action presents any significant adverse environmental impacts requiring a Positive Declaration under SEQRA: (1) To determine whether a proposed Type I or Unlisted action may have a significant adverse impact on the environment, the impacts that may be reasonably expected to result from the proposed action must be compared against the criteria in this subdivision. The following list is illustrative, not exhaustive. These criteria are considered indicators of significant adverse impacts on the environment: (i) a substantial adverse change in existing air quality, ground or surface water quality or quantity, traffic or noise levels; a substantial increase in solid waste production; a substantial increase in potential for erosion, flooding, leaching or drainage problems; (ii) the removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation or fauna; substantial interference with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species; impacts on a significant habitat area; substantial adverse impacts on a threatened or endangered species of animal or plant, or the habitat of such a species; or other significant adverse impacts to natural resources; (iii) the impairment of the environmental characteristics of a Critical Environmental Area as designated pursuant to section 617.14(g) of this Part; (iv) the creation of a material conflict with a community's current plans or goals as officially approved or adopted; (v) the impairment of the character or quality of important historical, archeological, architectural, or aesthetic resources or of existing community or neighborhood character; (vi) a major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy; (vii) the creation of a hazard to human health; (viii) a substantial change in the use, or intensity of use, of land including agricultural, open space or recreational resources, or in its capacity to support existing uses; (ix) the encouraging or attracting of a large number of people to a place or places for more than a few days, compared to the number of people who would come to such place absent the action; (x) the creation of a material demand for other actions that would result in one of the above consequences; (xi) changes in two or more elements of the environment, no one of which has a significant impact on the environment, but when considered together result in a substantial adverse impact on the environment; or (xii) two or more related actions undertaken, funded or approved by an agency, none of which has or would have a significant impact on the environment, but when considered cumulatively would meet one or more of the criteria in this subdivision; and WHEREAS, the Common Council is fully familiar with the Property and the proposed public use and has reviewed the record including the Public Use Report attached hereto as Exhibit D, the Short Environmental Assessment Form dated December 5, 2025 (“SEAF”) attached hereto as Exhibit E, and reports from City Staff and consultants and comments from members of the public; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT, after due discussion and deliberation, the Common Council hereby adopts, as part of this approval, a Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance under SEQRA with respect to the Proposed Action, having determined there are no potential significant adverse environmental impacts based on the following findings: 1. The Common Council has compared the impacts that may reasonably be expected to result from the Proposed Action to the criteria for determining significance identified in Section 617.7(c)(1) of SEQRA and evaluated the issues of causation and significance in light of the standards set forth therein; and 2. The Common Council has not identified any significant adverse environmental impacts associated with the Proposed Action. Based upon its review, and for the reasons set forth in the SEAF, the City Council hereby determines that the acquisition of the Property, the removal of its existing structures and its proposed use as a solid waste transfer station will not result in any significant negative impacts on the environment; and 3. The Common Council reaches the following further conclusions: (A) Air & Water Quality: The Project will not result in a substantial adverse change in existing air quality; ground or surface water quality or quantity; exposure to contaminants; or substantial increase in solid waste production. Demolition of the existing structures will involve minimal temporary impacts to air quality, which are insignificant. (B) Vegetation, Fauna and other Natural Resources: Reconfiguration of the Property’s three lots into a single-use solid waste transfer facility will not negatively impact vegetation, fauna or other natural resources. The Property’s existing uses have degraded the natural condition of on-site vegetation, the Property’s physical features make the site unsuitable for restoration vis a vis the contiguous Albany Pine Bush ecosystem, the Project area either lacks suitable habitat for identified New York Natural Heritage Program fauna or such fauna does not regularly visit the site, and there are no recognized aquatic or agricultural resources on site. (C) Traffic and Noise: The Property to be acquired is located on Rapp Road, which provides no pedestrian facilities and has a shared roadway for motor vehicles and bicycles. The intended future solid waste transfer facility use on the Property will not significantly change traffic from current conditions. (D) Critical Environmental Areas: There are no Critical Environmental Areas (“CEA”) within or near the Property and therefore no anticipated impact on a CEA. (E) Community Character and Goals: The Project will not conflict with the community’s current plans or goals as officially approved or drafted. (F) Historic, Architectural, Aesthetic and Archeological Resources: The Project will not result in the impairment of the character or quality of important historical, architectural or aesthetic resources or of existing community or neighborhood character as there are no such resources on site and the existing residential Property is not part of a neighborhood. While a cultural resource study identified a pre-contact site within the proposed Project area, the site will be encapsulated and protected from disturbance during Project construction. (G) Energy: The Project will not result in a major change in the use of energy in either quantity or type, will not require a new or upgraded energy substation, and will meet local energy codes. (H) Human Health: The Property’s change in use, from residential dwellings adjacent to a landfill to a solid waste transfer station, will have a beneficial impact on human health by removing human habitation from the immediate vicinity of a landfill. (I) Land Use Intensity and Type: The acquisition of the Property and change in ownership will not increase the intensity of the use over current levels. From a land use perspective, this is an ideal location for a solid waste transfer station as it is adjacent to the existing Rapp Road Landfill. (J) Water: The acquisition will not result in any significant adverse impacts to water usage or quality. (K) Open Space and Recreation: The acquisition will not result in any significant adverse impacts to open space and recreation within the City as the Property is not located within the vicinity of designated open space and recreation facilities. (L) The Proposed Action will not encourage or attract a large number of people to a place or places for more than a few days, compared to the number of people who would come to such place absent the action. (M) The Proposed Action will not create a material demand for other actions that would result in a significant adverse environmental impact. (N) The Proposed Action will not result in changes in two or more elements of the environment, no one of which has a significant impact on the environment, but when considered together result in a substantial adverse impact on the environment. (O) The Proposed Action will not result in two or more related actions undertaken, funded or approved by an agency, none of which has or would have a significant impact on the environment, but when considered cumulatively would meet one or more of the criteria in Section 617.7(c) of SEQRA. 4. The information available concerning the Proposed Action was sufficient for the Common Council to make its determination and the requirements of SEQRA have been met. 5. The Common Council hereby approves and adopts the SEAF for the Proposed Action (Parts 1, 2, and 3), issues a Negative Declaration, and will not require the preparation of an environmental impact statement for the Proposed Action; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that after having held a duly noticed public hearing on December 15, 2025 for the proposed acquisition of the Property by the City, the Common Council, upon due consideration, hereby determines and finds that: 1. Pursuant to EDPL Section 204(B)(1), the City concludes that the Proposed Action will serve a legitimate public purpose. The proposed use of the Property as a solid waste transfer facility will contribute to the health, safety, general welfare, convenience and prosperity of the City by providing for the solid waste disposal needs of residents and businesses in the City and members of the CRSWMP Planning Unit. 2. Pursuant to EDPL Section 204(B)(2), the City concludes that the Property is the most appropriate location for the Proposed Action because it is adjacent to the Rapp Road Landfill which is projected to close in 2027, and the proposed use will not have an adverse impact on the neighboring properties. 3. Pursuant to EDPL Section 204(B)(3), the City concludes that the general effect of the Proposed Action on the Environment is negligible. The Proposed Action will demolish the existing structures. 4. Pursuant to EDPL Section 204(B)(4), the City Council has considered other factors raised by residents during the public hearing process. All verbal statements and written comments have been given careful, extensive and due consideration by the City Council; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Common Council hereby determines, after due consideration of the record and the foregoing findings, that the City should exercise its power of eminent domain to acquire the Property in order to promote the purposes of the Project to provide the City with a solid waste transfer facility upon the closure of the Rapp Road Landfill; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this clause serves to notify aggrieved parties: ATTENTION: ANY PERSON WHO WISHES TO SEEK JUDICIAL REVIEW OF THIS DETERMINATION AND FINDINGS, OR WHO CLAIMS TO BE AGGRIEVED BY SUCH DETERMINATION AND FINDINGS AND WISHES TO CHALLENGE SAME, MUST DO SO, IF AT ALL, (1) BY DULY COMMENCING A LEGAL PROCEEDING IN THE APPELLATE DIVISION, THIRD DEPARTMENT, SUPREME COURT, STATE OF NEW YORK, ROBERT ABRAMS BUILDING FOR LAW AND JUSTICE, STATE STREET, ALBANY, NEW YORK 12223, NO LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF A SYNOPSIS OF THIS DETERMINATION AND FINDINGS, OTHERWISE ANY SUCH CHALLENGE OR JUDICIAL REVIEW MAY BE TIME BARRED, AND (2) BY DULY SERVING A DEMAND UPON THE CITY TO FILE THE RECORD UNDERLYING THIS DETERMINATION AND FINDINGS. THE APPELLATE DIVISION MAY CONSIDER THE PUBLIC USE, BENEFIT OR PURPOSE TO BE SERVED BY THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION AND OTHER MATTERS SET FORTH IN THE NEW YORK EMINENT DOMAIN PROCEDURE LAW. UNDER SECTIONS 207 AND 208 OF THE EMINENT DOMAIN PROCEDURE LAW, THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE FOR ANY CHALLENEGE TO THIS DETERMINATION AND FINDINGS IS THE ABOVE-DESCRIBED APPELLATE DIVISION.

This is accomplished, here, by Common Council resolution. This resolution also expresses the Council’s determination that the proposed use of eminent domain will not have a negative environmental impact pursuant to SEQRA. FISCAL IMPACT(S) If the City takes the subject property by eminent domain, it will be required to pay the property owner(s) fair market value for the condemned properties.

Matter underlined is new material. To: Shaniqua Jackson, City Clerk From: Brett Williams, Deputy Corporation Counsel Re: Common Council Legislation Supporting Memorandum Date: July 25, 2025 Sponsor: Council Member Balarin, o/b/o Planning Committee ORDINANCE 16.81.25 TITLE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 375 (UNIFIED SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE) OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF ALBANY IN RELATION TO THE NONCONFORMITY DETERMINATION PROCESS. GENERAL PURPOSE OF LEGISLATION This ordinance amends the procedure under the USDO for determining the legality of a non- conformity by removing the existing requirement to provide legal notice to interested parties. NECESSITY FOR LEGISLATION AND ANY CHANGE TO EXISTING LAW A nonconformity refers to a use, lot, structure, standard, or circumstance that was legally established prior to the effective date of a regulation under Chapter 375 but does not conform to current zoning standards. Determining whether a nonconformity was legally established falls under the authority of the Chief Planning Official; however, the burden of proof lies with the property owner or an applicant with an equitable interest in the property. The process for making such a determination is outlined in § 375-506(8). It begins with the submission of an application accompanied by supporting documentation (e.g., photographs, utility bills, tax statements, leases, notarized affidavits) demonstrating that the nonconforming use, structure, or other improvement predates the relevant zoning regulation. These applications are most commonly submitted during property sales or refinancing, typically to confirm that an existing use qualifies as a legal nonconformity. In many cases, this filing is preceded by a request for a zoning compliance certificate, which may indicate that the current use does not conform to zoning district allowances and trigger further review. Although the nonconformity determination process has existed in some form since zoning was first adopted in the City, it was more clearly formalized with the adoption of the Unified Sustainable Development Ordinance (USDO) in 2017, and a public notice requirement was added in 2021. While this notice requirement was well-intentioned, it has introduced delays and uncertainty that hinder investment in nonconforming properties, particularly residential uses, without significantly advancing the public interest. Matter in strikethrough to be deleted. Matter underlined is new material. Under the current process, applicants must: • Send certified mail notices to all property owners within 250 feet of the subject site (typically between 50 and 100 recipients); • Post a notice on the property with instructions for how the public may submit comments; and • Submit an affidavit of compliance, after which the Chief Planning Official must wait at least 14 days before issuing a decision to allow time for public input. Since these requirements were implemented, a total of 1,160 mailed notices for 23 nonconformity determination applications were sent by applicants. In response, only 6 public comments were received, a response rate of just 0.5%. Notably, the comments received have typically expressed opinions on whether the use should exist or continue, rather than whether it lawfully predates zoning changes. Because determinations are based on objective, factual evidence, often already available in public records or provided by applicants, public input rarely introduces new or relevant information. At the same time, the current process imposes significant financial and administrative burdens on both applicants and City staff, delays that can obstruct real estate transactions, increase housing insecurity, and discourage reinvestment in older properties. This legislation seeks to streamline the nonconformity determination process by eliminating the public notice requirement. In doing so, it aims to reduce burdens on applicants, preserve staff resources, and promote reinvestment, without compromising the integrity of the review process. FISCAL IMPACT None.

Paragraph (h) (Exceptions) of Subsection (4) (Legally nonconforming uses) of Section 375-506 (Preexisting development and nonconformities) of Article V (Administration and Enforcement) of Chapter 375 (Unified Sustainable Development Ordinance) of Part II (General Legislation) of the Code of the City of Albany is hereby amended to read as follows: (4) Legally nonconforming uses. (e) Damage or destruction. (i) In the event that any structure containing a legally nonconforming use is damaged or destroyed to the extent of more than 50% of the cost of replacement of the structure, as determined by the City Tax Assessor, any reuse of the structure shall conform to all regulations of the zoning district in which it is located per this USDO. (ii) Where any such structure is damaged or destroyed to the extent of 50% or less of the cost of replacement of the structure new, repair or restoration of such structure may be made; to enable continued operation of the nonconforming use, provided that no repairs or restorations shall be made which would create or increase any parking, yard or space and bulk nonconformity, nor shall any repairs or restoration (except in conformity with the applicable zoning district regulations) be made unless a building permit is obtained and restoration is actually begun within one year after the date of such partial damage or destruction and is diligently pursued to completion. (f) Repair and maintenance. Normal maintenance and repairs, including but not limited to replacement, and installation or relocation of walls, partitions, fixtures, wiring or plumbing, may be performed on mechanical systems or existing portions of any structure devoted in whole or in part to a nonconforming use. (g) Enlargement of structure. No structure devoted in whole or in part to a nonconforming use shall be altered, enlarged or added to in any manner which would enlarge the nonconforming portion or create a new nonconformity. (h) Multi-unit dwelling exception. Any conforming multi-unit dwelling use in the R-2 or R-T Zoning District in existence on June 1, 2017, will be considered a conforming use of property notwithstanding any provisions of this USDO limiting the availability of multi-unit uses or the number of units permitted in the R-2 or R-T District in the Matter in strikethrough to be deleted.

(ii) Vehicle fueling station exception. Any legally established vehicle fueling station use in operation as of June 1, 2025, and located within the MU-CH zoning district shall be considered a conforming use of property, notwithstanding any provisions of this USDO that limit the availability of vehicle fueling station uses in the future. Such uses may be redeveloped or expanded on the existing lot or onto an adjacent lot provided that the redevelopment or expansion brings the site into compliance with all applicable dimensional and development standards of this USDO. Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect immediately. APPROVED AS TO FORM THIS 8TH DAY OF AUGUST, 2025 ________________________________ Corporation Counsel Matter in strikethrough to be deleted. Matter underlined is new material. To: Shaniqua Jackson, City Clerk From: Brett Williams, Deputy Corporation Counsel Re: Common Council Legislation Supporting Memorandum Date: August 8, 2025 Sponsor: Council Member Balarin o/b/o Planning Committee ORDINANCE 17.82.25 TITLE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 375 (UNIFIED SUSTAINABLE DEVLEOPMENT ORDINANCE) OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF ALBANY IN RELATION TO EXCEPTIONS FOR VEHICLE FUELING STATIONS GENERAL PURPOSE OF LEGISLATION To allow limited and reasonable expansion or modification of existing fueling stations in the City, which are currently constrained by strict nonconforming use provisions NECESSITY FOR LEGISLATION AND ANY CHANGE TO EXISTING LAW As part of the comprehensive review of Chapter 375 undertaken in 2021, “vehicle fueling station” (commonly referred to as a gas station) was removed as a permitted or conditional use in zoning districts where it had previously been allowed. This change, aimed at reducing future brownfield impacts and aligning with the shift toward renewable fuels, was based on the finding that all neighborhoods had reasonable access to existing stations. As a result, existing vehicle fueling stations became nonconforming uses. Chapter 375 defines a nonconforming use as “a use of a lot or a structure that was legally established prior to the effective date of [Chapter 375], but that does not conform to the current zoning regulations of the district in which it is located.” Under §375-506, nonconforming uses may continue and be transferred but may not expand, except for reasonable repair, maintenance, or reestablishment after discontinuance. Subsection (g) specifically prohibits any enlargement or alteration that would expand the nonconforming use or create new nonconformities. Rather than reintroducing vehicle fueling stations as a permitted use in the MU-CH or other affected zoning districts, an approach inconsistent with the original legislative intent, this ordinance proposes a targeted amendment to the nonconforming use provisions. While previous legislation sought to retain existing fueling stations, it did not explicitly address whether alterations or expansions should be permitted. In certain cases, such changes may be necessary to ensure continued operation. Moreover, many older vehicle fueling stations were designed under outdated standards and are now incompatible with modern design requirements and the safe, orderly flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Allowing redesign and limited expansion under appropriate conditions could yield benefits that current regulations inadvertently prohibit. This amendment is limited to the MU-CH district, where four such stations currently exist, due to the district’s commercial character and the low likelihood of adverse impacts on nearby residential uses. The MU-CH district is intended to accommodate automobile-oriented commercial development along arterial corridors. Expansions will be permissible only where they result in full compliance with the dimensional and design standards of the USDO, ensuring consistency with pedestrian safety, traffic flow, and aesthetic goals. FISCAL IMPACTS No immediate impacts.

Under current regulations, surface parking is prohibited as a principal use in the MU-FM district. This amendment would permit such use, provided that a CUP is obtained and the proposal meets the criteria set forth in § 375-303(4)(g)(vii). This amendment is related to Ordinance 11.61.20, adopted on October 4, 2021, which introduced similar regulatory changes for the MU-CU district. The current proposal would extend those provisions to the MU-FM district. NECESSITY FOR LEGISLATION AND CHANGES TO EXISITING LAW: This proposed amendment responds to a request by the North American Islamic Trust, Inc. to construct ancillary parking on property located at 128–140 Bradford Street. The organization is affiliated with Masjid As-Salam, located at 276 Central Avenue, and seeks to establish parking to support the needs of that facility. FISCAL IMPACTS None.
