Unofficial copy. It may be out of date. Not legal or zoning advice. Zoning rules change, and only the city or county can say for sure what is allowed on a property. Confirm with the city or county planning department before you buy, sign or build.

The city's use tables are images in its PDFs, so they appear nearly empty here. Check the official code for any use table.
Tables (like use tables) may not copy cleanly, so check any table against the official code.
Confirm anything here with Saratoga Springs planning before you rely on it.
