SARATOGA SPRINGS -- McDonald's wants to replace its more than 30-year-old restaurant on South Broadway, but city officials say it needs to rise to two floors.

The Planning Board recently asked McDonald's representatives to revise the preliminary single-floor designs for a new 197 S. Broadway store because zoning rules for the so-called "downtown gateway" area require all new buildings to be a minimum of two stories.

Maybe they can put condos up above the new restaurant.
