To modify a previously approved three-story hotel project on a 21,647 square-foot lot, located in the C3 (Height District I) Zone. A 35,575 square-foot, 64-room hotel with a two-level subterranean garage with 64 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 (the “Original Project”). In May 2019, City Council voted to adopt the MND and sustain the DRB’s approval. AV Hospitality, LLC is proposing to revise the Original Project by expanding the building to accommodate an additional 18 guest rooms and increasing the building square footage by 6,735 square feet (the “Revised Project”). The Revised Project would still be three-stories, but would expand the building footprint towards the northern interior property line and revise the interior setback from 15-feet to 11-feet, 6 inches; it would eliminate portions of the Outdoor Terrace located above the one-story volume at the eastern building elevation. The Revised Project would consist of 82 rooms, 42,310 square feet, and include a two-level subterranean garage with 67 instead of 64 parking spaces.
