The onetime site of the restaurant Badass Burrito in Troy's Lansingburgh section that closed in 2011 may come back to life in 2017.

Jeff Jackson, a resident of Galway, Saratoga County, has applied to the city Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) for what is known as a "major area variance" for parking as part of a proposal to turn the vacant former restaurant at 443 Fifth Avenue into a sports bar/restaurant.

The request is on the ZBA agenda for its meeting scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 6, in the Planning Department hearing room of City Hall, 433 River Street.
