HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes COM 10-06-22 idea is to create this"basket weave"that these three different cement fiber panels lay over themselves vertically
and horizontally within the frame,and those frames are slim which create some visual tension.Most of these
views shown in our packet are from US-31 and 146th Street as you are driving by. We didn't think that the roof
element could successfully come all the way out because it will be very slender at that point.Kevin: You describe
the facade as having 3 different materials, so it's not flat.What's the level of separation?David Rausch: The first
is the brick,there's about 3.5ft of depth from the first floor to the second floor. Our guest rooms cantilever out
past the first floor and create a very distinct base and then a very distinct body. If the brick is plane one,the white
frame is plane two(3.5 ft forward),and then the various grays are back about 8". So,they are set back within,and
within that the window frames and the louvre frames are probably another 2-3"back. The renderings do not show
this detail well. On color schematic that Rachel pulled up,A is the most forward,B is back,and then C and the
window frames are back a bit more. So the idea is that we read the frame and then we read a more subtle recess
inside of that.Alan: Is this a typical architecture brand for all Hilton Tempo hotels?David Rausch: They are all
a little bit different. Chris White: They are all in different kinds of settings,but the brand here does not have an
exterior prototype. They have very purposely asked for an application based on context, setting,and materiality.
David Rausch: The brands are very focused on signage and how that is incorporated.Part of that was to
incorporate these architectural elements to provide a good backdrop for signage. Chris White: We recently met
with Hilton and they were excited about this design.
Jeff: 15 bike parking spaces seems like a large number for hotel,is that an industry number?Rachel: Our UDO
requires 1 long-term bike space per 15 rooms.People who may travel here for bike tourism,may want to lock
their bikes in a secured room at a hotel,which would be like leaving your luggage in a room. Chris White: The
indoor bike parking will be like a luggage room, internal/external.
Jeff: Is there a way to build the exterior pedestrian trail prior to any construction?Kevin: Would it be ruined by
the construction?Chris White: The plan is that where the building line is will be excavated,the parking lot that
exists around that will remain until we get close to the end.Jeff: at one point you will be building a parking lot
with curb and then there is landscaping on the other side. Is there a notion that that trail is closed for long term
and users miss out on availability?Chris White: The rebuild of the trail and parking lot will be done near the
completion of the building so it's going to remain in place.It will be closed for a fairly short time.More like 60-
90 days.Lisa: We are doing this in two phases, so we give them the path first and then they are using the existing
parking lot and the area around it as their staging area,and then the second piece that we must do is to go back in
and put the parking lot in,but it won't be until closer to the completion.Rachel: Something else we can do is
make a note for the parcel when it comes back for building permits to remember to pay extra attention to that,to
try to get that into the sequence.
A Motion made by Kevin Rider and seconded by Jeff Hill to send Docket No.PZ-2022-00149 DP/ADLS:
Clay Terrace—Hilton Tempo Hotel to the October 18 full Plan Commission with a positive
recommendation.
Approved 3-0,absent Buckler.
4. Docket No.PZ-2022-00167 Z: 1st Avenue SE C2 Rezone.
The applicant seeks to rezone 4 parcels from the B5 Business,R2 Residential and R3 Residential Districts
within the Old Town Overlay Character Subarea to the C-2 Mixed Use District. The site is generally located
on the west side of 1st Avenue SE,between 1st Street SE and Supply Street. Filed by the Department of
Community Services on behalf of the Cannel Plan Commission.
Petitioner: Adrienne Keeling,DOCS:
• This proposal involves the eastern half of the block which is across from the Indiana Design Center along
Rangeline Road bordered by 1"Avenue SE, 1st Street SE,and Supply Street.
• Zoning: Western half of this block is already zoned C-2 and the eastern half of the block has three

different districts,so our reasoning is that we would like to extend the C-2 to the entire block to
consolidate zoning districts,but also because the City Council recently passed a resolution to allow the
CRC to spend redevelopment funds to acquire the entire block.
• Any DP/ADLS proposal would require a public hearing with proper public notice for the Plan
Commission Hearing Officer.
• Rachel Keesling of Planning&Zoning Dept.will review any DP/ADLS proposal as usual(detailed
review)and the CRC also has their process which will be followed.
• The committee this evening has the final voting authority on this matter.
Committee Comments:
Jeff:At the full Plan Commission meeting I was satisfied then and ready to vote.I'm supportive of the C-2
zoning and the projects the City have done.No outstanding questions.
Kevin: I am also supportive of this C-2 rezone,and I would request a neighborhood meeting between the
neighbors and developer before the public hearing for the DP/ADLS.I want to be there before the process starts
because there are some legitimate concerns that should be discussed,nothing drastic,but I would like to see that
done.I am asking for that to be a requirement,I know that technically it is not,but I am asking that it be a
requirement that we have that public meeting before it starts. Will you make that happen?
Henry: Yes.
A Motion made by Kevin Rider and seconded by Jeff Hill to send Docket No.PZ-2022-00167 Z: 1st
Avenue SE C2 Rezone to the City Council with a positive recommendation.
Approved 3-0,absent Buckler
