FIFTH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is currently developed with an office building and restaurant zoned in the M, Manufacturing District, and is within the Community Commercial Overlay (CCO). The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will permit replacement of the office building with a new six-story, 164-room hotel while retaining the existing restaurant. The site is within the planning area of the Fifth by Northwest Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends community commercial uses for this location. The CPD text includes permitted uses, development standards addressing building design, and a commitment to a site plan. The proposal also includes variances to building setback, landscaping and screening, parking circulation and setback, driveway, maneuvering, loading space, and design standards in the CCO. Many of the requested variances are due to existing site conditions or to accommodate a future lot split of the property. The request is consistent with the land use recommendations of the Fifth by Northwest Neighborhood Plan and is compatible with the zoning and development pattern of the area.
