The Saratoga Springs Design Review Board is a 7-member citizen board appointed by the Mayor to 5-year staggered terms. The City Council gives the Design Review Board independent authorities to review development activities within city boundaries - jurisdiction over signage and exterior building changes related to both – Historic, and Architectural review, among them. 

The Saratoga Springs Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) is a quasi-judicial 7-member citizen board appointed by the Mayor to 7-year staggered terms. State regulations require communities to have a Zoning Board of Appeals to review requests for waivers from regulations in the existing zoning ordinance.
