P/1 Form No. 19
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 77024
Applicant: John Sheehan, Jr. for Holiday Inn
Location: 1501 Freeway Blvd.
Request: Special Use and Site and Building Plan approval
The applicant seeks approval of site and building plans for a 68 unit addition to
the Holiday Inn Motel which is a special use (transient lodging) in the C-2 zoning
district. The expansion area is to the west and involves the use of land contained
in the adjacent tract. A resubdivision of that tract and the Holiday Inn site will
be necessary and should be.stipulated as a condition of approval.
The proposed plans comprehend the provision for large vehicle parking since the
experience with the existing use indicates a need for such facilities. It is com-
mon that large vehicles such as semi -trailer trucks and recreational vehicle motor
homes utilize the motel facilities and occupy up to 8 or 9 automobile parking
spaces. No provision for this special parking was made in the original approval,
and the proposed plans indicate 5 such spaces at the southwest corner of the site.
The parking plans reflect 374 spaces versus the ordinance requirement of 409 for
a variation of 35. The plans indicate that the 35 spaces represent a 24% factor
of the 145 spaces required by the restaurant and lounge. We believe this is a
reasonable joint use factor since a definite element of the restaurant and lounge
trade is composed of motel guests for whom parking has been provided by a separate
calculation for the motel units alone. This variation, in our judgment, does not
represent a formal variance from the ordinance, but rather represents a recognition
in the plan approval that there is a cross correlation between the motel patrons
and the patrons of the supporting facilities.
We have recently learned of the possibility that the required underground irrigation
system was not installed or at least is not operable in the existing landscaped
areas. We intend to verify this and if such a system is lacking or is inoperable,
then in$tallation or repair should be part of this approval when the required ir-
rigation system is installed in the new green areas. The submitted plans indicate
that the required automatic fire extinguishing system is to be installed throughout
the addition including within the individual units. The original approval allowed
for an exemption of sprinkler heads in the individual motel units; however, the
owner has elected not to seek a variance in this regard relative to the proposed
addition.
A public hearing has been scheduled.
We will be prepared to comment in further detail on the plans at the meeting.
Approval is subject to the following:
Building plans are subject to approval by the Building Official with
respect to applicable codes and ordinances prior to the issuance of
permits.
2. Grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to approval
by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of permits.
Application No. 77024 continued
3. A Performance Agreement and financial guarantee (in a form and
amount approved by the City Manager) shall be submitted to assure
completion of approved site improvements.
4. The site shall be combined through platting or registered land
survey which shall be filed and made of record prior to occupancy.
5. All rooftop mechanical equipment and outside trash disposal
facilities shall be appropriately screened.
