PROJECT DESCRIPTION
To modify a previously approved three-story hotel project on a 21,647 square-foot lot,
located in the C3 (Height District I) Zone. The 37,858 square-foot, 64-room hotel with a two-
level subterranean garage with 65 parking spaces and a total export of 12,348 cubic yards of
soil was approved with conditions by the Design Review Board (DRB) in January 2019, and
appealed to City Council. In May 2019, City Council voted to adopt the MND and sustain the
DRB’s approval. The new owners (AV Hospitality, LLC, applicant) are proposing to amend
the project by enlarging the building to accommodate an additional 20 guestrooms. The
revised project features a 45,005 square-foot, 84-room hotel with a two-level subterranean
garage with 67 parking spaces on the 21,647 square-foot lot. The number of stories and
amount of grading export will remain the same as previously approved.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION

prepared a Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project. The Proposed
Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration and all documents referenced therein are
