Home My WebLink AboutMinutes PC 05-16-23 The applicant seeks a partial plat vacation,a new primary plat,and two design standards waivers to remove the LOR development from the original single-family subdivisions and plat it as its own urban,commercial subdivision with 14 lots. The site is located at 175 South Rangeline Road and is zoned C-2/Mixed Use.Filed by Jim Shinaver and Jon Dobosiewicz of Nelson&Frankenberger on behalf of the LOR Corporation. Ietitioner: Jon Dobosiewicz • Presented Site Location Map, Plat Vacation, Primary Plat • Adam Hill of LOR and Jim Shinaver of Nelson&Frankenberger are here to answer questions • Received DP/ADLS approval from PC Hearing Officer • The 11 townhomes will be sold individually on the 11 lots is the reason we are here tonight • We request the PC to suspend the Rules of Procedure in order to vote and approve these items tonight Public Comments: Diana McAndrews,Indie Coffee Roasters,220 E.Main Street. I am the business owner to the east.We couldn't do a patio to front of our site.There are no street trees and a ton of traffic along this area. Save some of the greenspaces.Can you plant more trees off-site?I had to put trees up at my business. Deadlock traffic occurs at 4pm every day. Rebuttal to Public Comments: Jon Dobosiewicz: • Our PV request is to remove the existing lot lines of the former alley ways and parcels.The alley ways were vacated by the BPW last week. • Presented landscape plan, a landscape strip will be provided in front of the townhomes along 13'Ave and Supply street. We cannot provide a 10-ft wide landscape strip along Rangeline Road and Main Street. Street trees will be planted within the ROW,but it's not the required 10-ft wide landscape strip. Department Report: Alexia Lopez • The DP/ADLS was approved on April 6,2023 through the CRC and PC Hearing Officer review process I • We are here tonight to separate this lot into 1 lot for the commercial building and parking,and 11 lots for the 11 townhomes so they can be sold individually • All standards for this commercial subdivision are met except for the standard waivers they are requesting • This site is considered an urban in-field development,and landscaping is shown along the perimeter and street trees, just not enough to meet the requirements of the UDO • We asked if there should be an ingress/egress easement on Lot 1 to ensure the townhomes can access their garages • We recommend the PC votes to suspend their rules of procedure and approve this item tonight Committee Comments: Kirsh: I'm seeing about 25 trees being proposed. Trees will be on all four sides of this block.9 trees currently exist. Landscaping is being proposed adjacent to residential,but none along Rangeline facade,as we currently see in this area. Zoccola: I'm glad to see the townhomes were moved back from the street,since the original proposal, so some landscaping can be added adjacent to the existing residential. Westermeier: Could we discuss Staff comment on the ingress/egress easement?Jon Dobosiewicz: We can verbally commit on the secondary/final plat to identify the ingress/egress and the mechanism by which we regulate it and how everyone who uses this easement as access,maintains it. A Motion made by Dierckman and seconded by Campagna to suspend the Rules of Procedure and to approve Docket Nos.PZ-2023-00086-00089. Approved 7-0,absent Aasen,Hill. Old Business I1. Docket No.PZ-2022-00238 ADLS: Tru Hotel Carmel. The applicant seeks design approval for a new,five story, 126 room hotel on 1.13 acres. DP approval was granted under Docket No. 19060018 DP and Use Variance approval was granted under 18050007 UV. The site is located at 12164 North Meridian St., immediately north of the Ritz Charles.It is zoned MC/Meridian Corridor and is not within any overlay district.Filed by Nathan Winslow of American Structurepoint on behalf of the owner,Dora Hotel Group. 5 Plan Commission Minutes 5-16-23 Petitioner: Nathan Winslow: • With me tonight is Vince Dora,who is the owner and developer,can answer any of your questions • Presented updates made on the elevations,renderings,landscaping, and shared parking access • Our initial filings on our building renderings included bright vibrant colors and we have toned down our color pallet with our discussions with Staff. We reduced the glazing on the first floor due to the location of mechanical units. • We have added landscaping to the parking islands and medians to the west to help buffer to the adjacent residential Commercial Committee recap,Josh Kirsh • We had 5 Committee meetings,we worked on a lot of the items • We have comments on the shared parking scenario issue. The Ritz Charles has a shared parking agreement to the hotel to the south,and now an agreement with TRU. The Ritz Charles has changed their parking scenario over time and is storing their truck fleet on their site. Petitioner is 10 spots short,and we asked them to reach out to Franciscan Alliance to the north and see if they can work out some parking agreement. Department Report,Alexia Lopez • Staff has worked with the Petitioner on the architecture and building design • Long-term bike parking,exterior lighting,and additional trees to west side were addressed by the Petitioner • Per UDO,a Variance is required for the proposed number of parking spaces they are showing. It is 10 less than what is shown on the original DP.The UDO does allow for shared parking within 800 feet of the building footprint. • Staff recommends approval contingent upon a variance approval for the parking spaces,and final TAC approval Committee Comments: Dierckman: I was the one who voted no at the Committee level.No facility has a blue canopy for their bike parking facility and entrance. I don't like blue since it's strictly for the TRU hotel branding. We didn't like the branding and discussed this at the Committee.Westermeier: Do you have to have the blue?Vince Dora: I don't believe blue is required. Staff requested it to be another color to determine the entrance way since signage is not allowed. Dierckman: Make it white or brown.Not a color used in their branding. Westermeier: I would ask Staff to determine the revised color. Westermeier: Have you talked to any adjacent properties about the parking agreement?Vince Dora: I had a discussion today with Franciscan Health. They couldn't commit to a permanent shared parking agreement.Westermeier: Can you remove 10 rooms,and you would not need additional parking spaces?Vince Dora: We cannot remove the 10 rooms. Grabow: Help me understand where all the 130 plus parking spaces are at. Nathan Winslow:Presented site plan,the shared parking with Ritz is to the west, shared parking with medical office building is to the north,and the hotel will have its own internal parking lot. Grabow: Are all these parking spaces in the line of sight for your guests from the entrance?Nathan Winslow: That is correct.Grabow: People are going to park wherever they see a space,regardless of any parking agreement. Kirsh: The Ritz is making sharing parking spaces that aren't there since they have their 18 fleet trucks parked in those spaces. We are combining a bad situation with another parking situation.I don't agree with Staff that the parking will only be a problem a few times a year. Grabow: I agree. The Hyatt has already made a parking agreement. I don't think we have enough parking here for all 3 businesses.Dierckman: We have an issue with out of towners who visit the Ritz for an event and can't find a parking spot. It's a poor reflection on our community.Zoccola: Has anyone talked to the Ritz about parking? It's a bigger problem than just one business.Kirsh: DOCS feels the truck parking scenario is a Code Enforcement issue. The CRC approached the Ritz about a parking garage,and it didn't get anywhere. A Motion made by Dierckman and seconded by Zoccola to approve PZ-2022-00238 ADLS with the condition the Petitioner works with Staff on a neutral color for the canopy entrance and bike parking area,all TAC comments are addressed,and contingent upon the approval from the BZA for the variance needed for parking spaces. Motion fails 5-2,Zoccola,Buckler,absent Aasen,Hill. A Motion made by Dierckman and seconded by Campagna to deny PZ-2022-00238 ADLS. Approved 6-1,Buckler,absent Aasen,Hill.
