The Project was included within the previously adopted Amendment to the Civic Center District of the Downtown Specific Plan (SPA-9), which allowed a nine-story hotel with seven above-ground floors and related facilities; an amendment to the SPA-9's Retail Overlay which allowed an increase in building height from 45 feet to 75 feet at this location (described below); and approval of a 196-room hotel and related facilities including a restaurant, health club, and administrative offices associated with the hotel. The Project also involves the adoption of project-specific development standards, including a maximum building height of 75 feet and project-specific parking standards for 209 parking spaces to be built in the hotel's two underground parking levels, based on studies conducted by Walker & Associates. The City Council will also consider an extension of time for the associated Preliminary and Master Development Plan for the hotel project (City Council/Community Development Commission action)
